ProMariner Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 It looks definetely better now ! I want the same in my silver 6239 large daytona dial! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCM21_88 Posted February 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Like I said in the original post DW's coronets have vertical feet on them where as the gens horizontal, let me tell you filing those tiny things down was not super easy haha I used a 3M spraymount as @ceejay recommended. With the help of my sturdy hands, some rodico and fine tweezers and needles tada!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ephry73 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 One of the best changes ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCM21_88 Posted February 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 One of the best changes ever! Thanks bud! I'm happy with the way it came out, trimmed up the 7750 stem a little earlier, stem fits nicely and crown screws down with ease, one step closer to this bad boy being on the wrist!

WCM21_88 Posted February 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Well here's a sneak peak, wish I could say she was finished but unfortunately she's not, I have two 6263 bezels one being a phong and the one mounted an older DW, phongs was a little to tight to put in at the moment resulting in cracking my Clark's tropic 21 so I'll be replacing that, went ahead and put the DW on for now, my hour counter hand shifted to the left twice once I had it completely assembled and to top all of it off for what ever reason the movement sits just a tad off to where my pushers wouldn't engage my chrono! Haha it's all part of the game I guess...nonetheless I'm enjoying every bit of the trouble shooting, as frustrating as it can be.
