prdubis Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 There was a seller on ebay from NYC, but I don't know if he's still selling them. Phong's are pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmg_3 Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Option #1 - the NYC bezel is best bang for the buck. $125 but he buys and resells in batches. Have to wait for him to relist or find one m2m. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-High-Quality-Bezel-Vintage-Rolex-Daytona-6263-Watch-/262682215137?hash=item3d291482e1:g:tYMAAOSwU-pXuxzQ Option #2 - Highest Qualty is Phong / Jenson. They have MK 1, 2, 3, and 4 Rep bezels. List is $450 http://www.vintagewatchmaker.com/category-s/1819.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy333 Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Rarely, would I make such a hyperbolic claim regarding an aftermarket part, but Phong's plastic (it is NOT Bakelite) 62xx series 1 62xx bezel is, hands-down, the best. Nearly exact fonts, proper spacing & even has flat-top 4s & swan-neck 2s........more or less, depending on the batch you get (consistency has never been the norm in aftermarket parts, even in the case of the high-priced sellers). Be aware that I had to remove a small bit of metal (Dremel & sandpaper) from the inner circumference of the bezel to get it to fit over my gen xtal. By the way, the NY ebay seller's bezels are good, but not in the same class as Phong's series 1 bezel (Phong's bezel replaced that NY ebay seller's bezel on my 6241 Newman). That said, the NY ebay seller's are about 1/3 the cost of Phong's, so they may be a better option for a rep or non-V72-powered franken watch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caci Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 If I were to bite the bullet on a Phong bezel, which "MK" would be appropriate for my 6263, based on pushers, crummy dial, etc.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
