rolojack Posted January 22, 2015 Report Posted January 22, 2015 I wanted to share some pics of my 6241. I'm pretty sure the weathered rep afficionados will be able to say at once the specs, so I won't bother !
dutchguy2 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Posted January 22, 2015 Wow, congrats. I am no expert but I think I recognise a Yuki clasp. But the finish of everything is second to none. Great work! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

dutchguy2 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Posted January 22, 2015 Grrr, I knew it, I suck. Hmmm, is it all gen? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
gmg_3 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Posted January 22, 2015 Gen Crystals and custom dial work make all the difference. Everyone sporting a bright DW daytona should take note of the weathered look of the dial and the crisp edge of the crystal. I would say.. DW 7750 Case Set Custom DW Dial/Hands Gen Crystal Gen Crown Yuki Crystal

ProMariner Posted January 22, 2015 Report Posted January 22, 2015 Absolutely beautiful and is the DW dial is a stock one of the coroner has been replaced by a gen one ?
rolojack Posted January 22, 2015 Author Report Posted January 22, 2015 Absolutely beautiful and is the DW dial is a stock one of the coroner has been replaced by a gen one ? gen coronet, relumed. Heavy texturing job to achieve the "plastered wall" effect.
ProMariner Posted January 22, 2015 Report Posted January 22, 2015 gen coronet, relumed. Heavy texturing job to achieve the "plastered wall" effect. You did an awesome work ! DW PN dial is excellent and the gen coronet add more caracter to it ! My both DW 6239 PN says hello to yours
rolojack Posted January 22, 2015 Author Report Posted January 22, 2015 The sheen on the subdial is a dead give away. It is pretty hard to get rid of it. I used a mix of different acrylic clear coat to retexture it.
gmg_3 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Posted January 22, 2015 I had to mill a little of my phong bezel and DW case to get the gen crystal on. Did you have any issues with this? What bezel did you use? DW?

lhooq Posted January 22, 2015 Report Posted January 22, 2015 Very, very nicely done, and crisp photography, too! It's painful how some of the best aftermarket parts still come from DW after all these years.
SuperDanX Posted January 22, 2015 Report Posted January 22, 2015 Inspirational stuff as usual, I can only hope my PN looks vaguely as nice as this.
freddy333 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Posted January 22, 2015 Looks good, but the steel bezel makes it a '39.
