tonytuzz Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Hi, I'm new to the forum, and happy to find a group of like-minded folks to talk watches. My interest began with my father's genuine Rolex 6263, which he bought (for $550!) the year I was born (1970) and refurbished and gifted to me when I graduated high school. I've been wearing it almost daily for the last 25-ish years. I've had a few others during that time: a PAM rep, Rolex 1655, Poljot/Okeah, Speedmaster automatic, a british SBS diver. At this point, I'm interested in reps of the 6263 so I can put it away for special occasions. I have one from perfect clones from a few years ago (A7750 powered) that could benefit from an updated case/dial, etc. I'm reading/watching/studying how to tear into a project like this as practice for my ultimate project: a V72 powered rep. At that point, I'm hoping to have two roughly equivalent 6263's to give to my two sons. For the build, I've already bought a Zodiac Sea Chron in good shape, and have several gen parts from servicing my 6263 over the years, back when Rolex let you keep the parts (including a nicely patina-ed original dial!) I'm looking forward to learning a bunch and contributing where I can... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
