Clint Eastwood Posted January 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 thanks for your help , i search one now !!!! What modification do you need to do ? to adjust the pushers ; You have realy nice daytona !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 The movement in mine was physically a drop in replacement. Only problem was with the hands... While the movement was out, a genuine tube and crown were also fitted. No adjustments needed for the pushers to line up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ephry73 Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 The val23 for my 6263 with exotic dial is on its way and I wanted to know what hiccups I should foresee. The movement needs a service and I was planning of using DW's v72 dial and hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsupilami Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 v72 should fit v23. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 The v23 is just a v72 without the hour counter. It will fit any case made for a v72. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Great. Are DW's hands and dial the best option yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 I have not found a source for consistently good aftermarket hands. All appear to be luck-of-the-draw. My best & worst handsets came from DW (listed as same part). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I've tried Clark's and a few other sellers on eBay (though I never paid more than $30 for a set). DW had the best-looking hands. Build quality could use a lot of improvement, but I found that they were the best visual match to the originals. This is especially true of DW's subdial hands. Often, they're loose on their tubes and need to be fixed using Freddy's method. However, the width and shape of these hands is just right.
