Rolexaddict Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 A Rolex Daytona 6263-6265 declinaison 100% built by myself Long time I didn't post, I am really busy and screwed with buildings ad creations till 6 months This watch was built using only stock parts, It has been made as a versatile watch with many combinaison possibilities : regular bracelet, jubilee, steel bezel or regular bakelite or even a leater strap, no limit. Reworked DW case, chrono pushers and crown. Only mixed stock parts from various aftermarket suppliers. No gen parts, its possible to build a watch looking like a gen using only rep parts Movement : Hand winding A7750/21600bph with the sec. at 9 and 3-6-9 compax bridge, serviced and tweaked, keep a -7 sec/24H. I dont touch more, for me its good enough for a messy Chinese chrono movement. Perfect aligned subdial hands, perfect flawless ans smooth chrono fonctions with perfect hands alignement at zero when reset. Everything work perfect like the gen, no frozen hands, I didn't desactive the hack, this is usefull for these using the chrono fonctions. Gen owners would be happy to have a hack fonction on their V72. The watch is waterproofed, greased inside chrono pusher devices, greased tube and crown insides, sealed plexi and greased case back gasket The dial is relumed with matching hands and has a slight patina surface with slight yellowed subdials. Matching hands. Sternkreutz rounded plexi, give a domed design, this is correct according books showing this design in the seventies Full engraved case and caseback, slim case back for removed rotor, the regular bracelet is referenced 78350-19 and end links are 571. The jubilee 19mm comes from a Tudor watch, it is non engraved, I have installed a complete Rolex clasp, endlinks are 455B. enough blabla, enjoy photos Sorry for the dust on the plexi hope you liked, 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy333 Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Now that the watch is complete, you might want to consider upgrading some of the parts with more accurate replacements, but, overall, I like what you did.

MIKE32500 Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 have you ever seen a gen dial??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselpower Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Fantastic work. Love the piece and love the fact that it is a replica. What we're supposed to be all about. I have to admit if the watch were mine (second dibs if it's for sale ) I'd put a gen crown on straight away or at least try and source a better rep one (yep I'm aware of my own hypocrisy!). I do have a question if you don't mind me asking. Where did you source the dial? I desperately need a good quality 6263 silver dial that fits a 7750 movement, so far no joy.

dieselpower Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Couldn't resist adding a piccy of my 6263. Gen glass, gen bracelet, everything else rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieselpower Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Cheers TeeJay. When I was collecting parts for mine I had a gen bevelled rolex glass and the domed sternkreutz to choose from, I opted for the gen but looking at these photos I wish I'd had the sternkreutz installed.
