rolojack Posted August 16, 2015 Report Posted August 16, 2015 Here is my 6265 built. We all know the pros and cons of this DW daytos, but leaving aside the few flaws, I like to focus on the strong points. 3
philwongnz Posted August 16, 2015 Report Posted August 16, 2015 Nice mate, I personally would put a bakelite black bezel on, but nice work and thanks for sharing.
alligoat Posted August 16, 2015 Report Posted August 16, 2015 I'm liking it! Somewhat reminiscent of the 6238 colorwise in regards to the dial, but with the 6239-like bezel and the 6263/5 WP pushers.

Despite the fact the gen albino reached 1.5M in late auction, I think the strong contrast of the acrylic bezel lacks elegance... My watch: my opinion.
Skywatch Posted August 17, 2015 Report Posted August 17, 2015 I know very little about Cosmographs, but I really like this one. I love the dial. Great looking build.
Chuck P Posted August 17, 2015 Report Posted August 17, 2015 Fantastic! Much prefer the silver bezel!
alligoat Posted August 18, 2015 Report Posted August 18, 2015 Here's my DW 6239 Albino with the a7750 movement.Watch on the right is the Heuer 1964 Re-Edition 2
lhooq Posted August 20, 2015 Report Posted August 20, 2015 Great build with an amazing dial, rolojack! What would put it over the top is if you could find "dagger" hands for the hour and minute totalizers. (And if you could find a supplier for those, I'd have a good reason to revisit my dormant 6239 build...)
Champagnesky Posted August 20, 2015 Report Posted August 20, 2015 Gorgeous! The dial and case finish is amazing.

I won't change mine as I love those straight hands, and given I did not try to match the gen albino, I am happy as it is....
