eunomians Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Well, I can tell you that the watch is overpriced. Especially after shipping fees. If u want a reliable 6263 rep, get one with the Seagull movement (not the 7750). You'll get asymetric pushers, thinner case profile and movement reliability. Subdial spacing will be incorrect, but not too bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papo007 Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 hi guy, i am in the hunt for a rolex cosmograph (vintage model #6263) replica i was watching andrews, joshua and paul webs , and found some difference between the models like the stop and reset buttons, and the position of the subdials (or the size i am not sure), which one is the best please help if you can!!! thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Well, I can tell you that the watch is overpriced. Especially after shipping fees. If u want a reliable 6263 rep, get one with the Seagull movement (not the 7750). You'll get asymetric pushers, thinner case profile and movement reliability. Subdial spacing will be incorrect, but not too bad! Euno -- I have a Venus/Lemania version, which I thought was the same as the Seagull and it has symmetrical (evenly spaced) pushers. Do you know of a source for a Seagull-based non-Oyster 6239 Daytona with asymmetrical (non-evenly spaced) pushers? And for less than $300? For me at least, the big selling point for the vintage Daytonas on this Japanese site is the fact that these watches DO have an asymmetrical pusher arrangement. And if you compare the $300 price to the cost (and time involved to locate all the parts) for a DW or EE, I do not see how you can say these are overpriced. Of course, this assumes that the watches on the Japanese site are what we think they are. Hopefully someone can provide more info or I will finally receive more from the site operator.

eunomians Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 @Freddy333: Some bad news regarding the japanese site... It appears that a good buddy of ours got scammed by them! Beware! By the way, I do not know of a non-Oyster Daytona rep as of this time. There was, back in the day, a very nice bi-compax Poljot 3133-powered movement Daytona. This was many years ago now, and I have not heard about/seen one in a very long time. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DO NOT buy from them. They scammed me. I lost 500$ because of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 I am very sorry to hear that it did not work out, but I really appreciate the warning. Too bad, I really thought we may be onto something there. Back to the drawing board and the search for another DW I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThinkBachs Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Doing my research on the forum, I found this thread and thought it was worth breathing some life into it. Plus, I don't want to get hollered at for not doing a search by posting this outright. I found a site, which actually looks like it's connected with another site that uses the same pics that has a nice group of vintage reps (at least from what I've been able to figure out so far. Here's the link Some shots of what I'm interested in... White Dial Black SubDials Ref 6263 - Lemania MOVEMENT: Copy Venus 75 Manual Handwind Chronograph movement CASE DIAMETER: 37mm THICKNESS: 12mm DIAL COLOR: White Dial, Black Subdials with Silver Stick Markers CASE MATERIAL: Solid Stainless Steel 316L BRACELET: Solid Stainless Steel with single flip-lock buckle (Rivetted style bracelet) FRONT GLASS: Dome Plexi Plastic Crystal BACK GLASS: Solid caseback BEZEL: Black Bezel HACK MOVEMENT: Yes CLASP TYPE: SS Vintage Oyster Bracelet (Rivetted Style Bracelet) DATE INDICATOR: GMT HAND: OTHER REMAKS: Water Resistant Seconds : Running Secs at 9.00 subdials, Chronograph 3.00 subdial - minute counter 6.00 subdial - Faux ( Needle is fixed) 2.00 pusher - start/stop chrono, 4.00 pusher - reset Daytona Vintage (PRE) Black/Wht - Asia 7750 MOVEMENT: Asia 7750 Valjoux Working Chronograph CASE DIAMETER: 39mm THICKNESS: 16mm DIAL COLOR: Black Dial with White subdials CASE MATERIAL: Solid Stainless Steel 316L BRACELET: Solid Stainless Steel with single flip-lock buckle (Rivetted style bracelet) FRONT GLASS: Plexi Thick Glass BACK GLASS: Solid caseback BEZEL: HACK MOVEMENT: Yes CLASP TYPE: Single Fliplock Folding Clasp (Rivetted Style Bracelet) DATE INDICATOR: GMT HAND: OTHER REMARKS: Water Resistant Unfortunately these look like shots that could be found just any anywhere, and my preference obviously is to deal with and support those that are found here. One f the things that I really like are the simple/old style pushers on the bottom. I also notice that the crown on the Daytona doesn't seem right, too high, where the bottom one seems to have the right crown installed. Thoughts? *Other link that I found the same pics belongs to "Big Big Watch" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil Hilts Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Here's mine. Still working on my damn 6239 project. Anyone got a 6239 case that will take a VJ23, GUARANTEED? I've spent way too much money on cases from people (including someone on this site) who said it would fit and...no love. Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
