paristoto Posted October 23, 2016 Report Posted October 23, 2016 Exact , this is the first prototype of DW did in 2007 (NEVER SALE), that of paristoto is the first bacth of DWThank you so much. I know the seller was super honest. And he sold it as a DW. Awesome feedback. @vette63 such great info (and cool!) that you guys know of such pieces and when DW started.On the same note I was recently offered this DW / Spinmaster 6241 and would like to know everyone's thoughtsDW CaseSpinmaster Dial / HandsSWISS ETA 7750 converted to 7760 manual Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkOver aged imo.

TheSociety Posted October 23, 2016 Author Report Posted October 23, 2016 @freddy333 you don't think it's a good case/dial? I think the dial looks great! If only it was a 6263Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If only it was a 6263 Before making any more Daytona purchases, I would recommend taking the time to research the genuine model you are interested in. 1

vette63 Posted October 23, 2016 Report Posted October 23, 2016 (edited) @TheSociety, thanks , This is not a dial of Spinmaster, Spin did not produce dials, but it is/was.....a modder of David (DW) , at the time of" his times gold DW", selling cases,bezel, dial, etc for a very perfect 6263 (from 2008 to 2013) then ........., very probably this was the last batch for the production of the 6263 gold, it recognizes because he expanded the diameter profile of 3 subconuter , given that assembled a 7750 , and he wanted to have gaps of 3 sub equal as if had a V72 @paristoto thanks for feed Edited October 23, 2016 by vette63
TheSociety Posted October 24, 2016 Author Report Posted October 24, 2016 thank you for the knowledge @vette63!
pezzy Posted October 24, 2016 Report Posted October 24, 2016 do v72 based dials still fit in st-19 cartel cases with no modifications besides the 6 subdial?
TheSociety Posted October 24, 2016 Author Report Posted October 24, 2016 do v72 based dials still fit in st-19 cartel cases with no modifications besides the 6 subdial?Need modding of the 6 subdial to fit gen dials broSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
pezzy Posted October 24, 2016 Report Posted October 24, 2016 ^yeah that's ok. that's what i meant anyway. but the diameter of the dial itself are the same between st-19 cartel and v72 based dials?

I have seen a lot of good builds using ST19 movement, gen spec dials, and then just reshape case. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1

newswire Posted October 24, 2016 Report Posted October 24, 2016 This should be quite easy to make, there are no markers and studs on the side, the only challenge is the sunburst and the right colour dial. I can possibly ask dad to see if he can get it done in Vietnam Sent from my SM-N930F using TapatalkI'm in for one of these!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just got my Franken 6241 Paul Newman back from some modding Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I may be wrong, but isn't this a 6239? I thought the 6241 was differentiated from the 6239 and defined by the acrylic bezel... Just asking for my own education. Regardless of model number, it's a fabulous looking watch!
