DW Daytona 6239

[newswire]

Yes, that is what I remembered!

Ok, does anyone then know if a st19 will fit dw's cases made for 7750? I think they are a bit spacier than the ones for v72

Ditto this. And where to purchase the movement ring.

Never heard of this kind of build. But I know you can convert a cartel case to fit a V72.

Would that be the Sunburst Effect ?

I think I know it's suppose to be subtle (if not, it screams "rep") but not sure where it comes from. Anyone can teach me ?

Yes, but I have never seen a rep dial that got it right. Here is a gen dial for reference (bright light not required) -

Both my albino and 6239 has sunburst. Is pretty awesome

Hi Gents,

I've been looking around but need some advices, looking for a proper crown, I've found 2 @ Yuki : 

large tube http://www.yukiwatch.com/catalog/item/6784664/10276441.htm

small tube http://www.yukiwatch.com/catalog/item/6784664/10289013.htm (not my favorite)

But am unsure about the stem size and the tube hole (knowing that I'm not equipped to re-tap it) ; would any of you have any tip(s) to give me?

or this one @ Raffles :

Just received a black leather bund strap ; quite "confortable" :

Sorry for the photos mess ...

Hi Gents,

A question following what I consider to be a good news: As it was described by the seller, I thought the hour sub dial hand was frozen or glued but it appears to be functional.

After I took the movement out of the case to properly align the main hour hand, I put back the movement in and after re-plugging the stem in, i started the chrono function to make sure it was still functional and - surprisely - after 10 or 20 minutes, i noticed that the sub dial hour hand had moved. But when I reseted the chrono, it did not come back to the 12 marker and was a little offset. But more than that, It did not stop (when I activate the pusher at 2) and continue its course along the sub dial... while the chrono function was stopped and the big second hand and the sub minute hand were back in place.

I noticed that when the sub dial hour hand has gone after marker 9 or 10, it reset properly (aligned with the 12 marker) but still it does not stop and continue to count hours although the chrono function is off.

My question would be : what is the way to settle this ? is it an easy way (or does that necessarily mean service) ? 

I've found some answers in a post from @freddy333, but can't manage to find it back ; if anyone could chime in, I would be very thankful

I start to love these vintage Daytona mate !
I'm not sure I have to thank you

I cannot offer a fix for your creeping hour totalizer beyond the posted comments, but this is likely the thread you are referring to.

[djulink]

Thanks Freddy for your answer but i was actually referring to that one : 

I think I'll try to take the movement off the case tonight and try to realign the hour sub dial hand to the 12 marker

[djulink]

By the way @freddy333, what do you mean in that post when you wrote "the hour totalizer hand to start 'creeping'" ?

Thanks in advance for your answers

As explained in the thread, the hour totalizer was running even when the chrono is off. As I recall, it was due to a worn braking component, but you (or your watchmaker) would need to disassemble your watch to diagnose.

[djulink]

Ok Thanks, and that is exactly what's happening : "the hour totalizer was running even when the chrono is off"

I wish I had a watchmaker...

Not ready yet to take the dial off I guess. I don't feel confortable thinking about the way to detach & put back in place those tiny sud dial hands...

It would require a proper tool than my only bergeon screwdriver

not even afraid...

[djulink]

héhé,

Happy New year my friend !

I guess you are putting one up ; did you found a good case ?

[Bart Cordell]

Happy new year too my friend !

DW 6263 with 6239 PN dial

And extra 6239 steel bezel.

All incorrect but I like it anyway.

[djulink]

Quite Nice if you ask me; would that be one of Thesociety ones ?

I'm looking for a nice bend links bracelet for mine (78350 to be precise) but could not find one; would you - or someone else - have any lead ?

Are you looking for gen or a rep?

[djulink]

Both actually

[Bart Cordell]

Yes its from TheSociety.

Sorry I don't know where you could find a good 78350. 

[philwongnz]

Both actually

VRF if you want gen, rep. I would say yuki. Also I trust you need the 571 end links with it?

[djulink]

OkDoki

thanks

Hi All,

 

the 4 o'clock pusher is getting 'tired' on my 6239 ; I've been looking to find a proper replacement (but the gen I found on the bay are far beyond my capacities).

So I went by @ofrei and @counsinsuk, and found this possibility: https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/classical-screw-in

 

I think mine would be one the 4mm head in SS but I don't have the proper precise tool - a caliper I think it is - to measure the diameter of the thread.

Would anyone know ou could help, please ?
