Rolex DW 6239 Daytona dials index problem solved !


rolojack

Recommended Posts

First of all about that build : A BIG THANKS TO DAVIDS100 WHO HELPED ME TO GET THAT DIAL !!!!!! Without you my friend, that case would still be sitting in a box !!!!

 

We all find DW standard dials plates have a major issue : the position of the index too far inside touching the subdials... Well, why not simply move them ? I did it here, and it looks much better !!!! Simply chop the feet, polish the base of the index and carefully glue them at a better position !

 

Aside from that, I modified that case to a tonneau shape, with the sunburst finished 300 bezel and the round brushed back case often made by some Rolex USA service centers since the watch is fitted with a Rolex USA bracelet.

absolutely stunning! a watch to be held as a standard that we all can look up to....There is a very small issue...The case back has been "spun", it should have a cross grain satin pattern...ok, I'm a fuss budget! sorry for the mention...Best, mcotter

Stunning work on the case, rolojack!  The radial-finish bezel is an exceptionally well-observed finishing touch.

May be the first rep bezel to be done that way I believe !!!  :) For the case back also. I already have so many mirror polished and satin brushed casebacks, When I saw a picture of a 6239 with that finish I knew that would be my next finsh !!!
