hugi Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Hi I am planing to build a Vintage Daytona Fap 6263 Would like to show my idea and would be happy about any inputs from you Guys this is how it should look in the End: Base Watch will be a Cartel 6263 like this: http://www.torobravo2015.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=39_214&product_id=1048 Crown + Tube from Athaya Dial from Phong: (it is the only dial I found without the daytona Writing on it... even tough it is quite expensive 450 USD) other options are very welcome! http://i821.photobucket.com/albums/zz133/HUGI91/19-06-2015%2022-19-03.jpg To install the Dial I will use this way: http://www.repgeek.com/showthread.php?t=145508&highlight=MOD+6263+CARTEL+GEN+DIAL So what do you think about my plans? Do I need to replace the pushers too? Any benefits of it? Bezel replacement? (Phong charges 350-450 USD... too much for my budget) Any help is greatly appreciated Have a great Weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whoopy12 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Phong's dial is made for a v72 movement, so it will not fit your cartels movement, which I believe is a 7750 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could get the version with the ST-19 and fix the hand though. You can make an offer for Phong's dial through the eBay store. Can get it for a little less. Be careful QC'ing the printing. Really wish DW was around and not flakey. His old batch dials were great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugi Posted June 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 i will use the St-19 Model from the Cartel and get the hand fixxed. DW is really gone right? Never heard of phongs ebay store, but will check this out, thanks Tomhorn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugi Posted June 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Beware phong has two different quality dials, high end ones are 700-750 USD Thanks, but 700-750 is way more than im willing to pay... It is more or less my budget for this watch I have a no Daytona ROC dial from DW's first batch if you're interested.... sent you a PM about it. Any oppinions about the pushers? Do i need to replace the cartel ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know about this, but not a fan of the cartel Dials... For me the Dial is almost the most important Piece of the Watch...As it is the face, everyone can see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugi Posted September 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) got a great dial and the base watch until now... I was looking for a crown... reference guide is saying oyster twinlock 600..Kindda having trouble finding a good replica option or a decent priced NOS/Used Gen...Any suggestions? I am ready to pay 100-150 USD for crown+tube.(can I just use any 6mm rolex crown with the line under the crown?) sorry about this noob question Edited September 21, 2015 by hugi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 A 6239 takes a 6mm crown. For the 6263, you need a 7mm crown and tube- the Athaya crown and tube work well- the 702 series. Or a 703 crown and tube is also ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugi Posted September 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 yes, my mistake, for the 6263 I need a 7mm crown athaya offers 700 and 702 crowns? What is the difference? the 702 has dots and the 700 not? what else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 The 700 crown and tube ran from 1960 til maybe 1970. Gasket in the case tube and one in the crown at the base of the stem holder.702 had three dots, hence trip-lock designation. Two gaskets in the tube and one in the crown. Ran from early 70s til a 1980 or so.703 has three dots on crown and four gaskets- two inside case tube and one on the outside and one in the crown.

hugi Posted October 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Ohne Titel by Micky Aldridge This is the dial I got. To me it looks beautiful. What do you think? Ordred a Athaya 700 crown and a crystal from clark. Probably should get new hands too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
