panerai153 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Seems like there was one on the sales forum a while back that had a lot of genuine parts. From the breakdown, it was pretty darn expensive. It may have been valty's watch. Beautiful, but those V72 builds with a gen dial/hands, pushers, crystal, crown/tube bracelet are waaaaay out of my price range. I'm looking at retirement in a few years, and I have to put a little money aside. Beautiful watches, but I just can't see spending 6-8+K on a rep. maybe a few years ago, but not today.

takumee Posted June 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 I reckon 6-8k is not enough also.. If so, what is the best option for a good franken yet cost efficient.. Much have been discussed about parts but price is a mystery... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhorn Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 On the low end ... assuming you can actually get the parts from DW (or better yet find them on the board for sale) you're looking at a minimum of $2k - $2.5k using all DW parts except a gen crown, tube and T21, plus the v72 movement (and service). This assumes you shop well and don't over pay for anything. You can go as high as you want from there. The Phong Case and the gen dial are going to be the most expensive parts, so if you can find acceptable alternatives to those it will help keep the costs reasonable.

Laser3000 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 For a Perfect watch its 10k plus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janeto72 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 I agree.....at least 10K for a genlike franken......now if you go "period correct" with all the parts...expect to spend about 13K...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiesn089 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Yup, that seems about right. My V726 6265 which I sold about 1 1/2 year ago was close to 6000 Euro but parts prices have gone up considerably since then. Mine had gen everything (including a black sigma dial) except for the pushers and a Phong case. Gen 6263 service bezel is another 1k at least, plus gen pushers 500 minimum. It'll cost you, but hey, they are worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful watch with all the bells and whistles, and it was priced at a very good price considering the build.Gives you some idea as to the whole deal!! http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/152519-fs-6263/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
