eye.surgeon Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Just got this from Joshua and put it on a leather strap. It's the venus handwind movement. I really don't see much downside to this movement by the way, sure the subdial @6 is a tracker, but I just leave the chrono running all the time and thus you can't tell it's tracking.

leitztozeiss Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 I like it. I'm going to do the same when I get mine back from Joe. Here it is before I sent it to Joe for case shaving, genuine Tropic 21, and larger spring bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Putting the 6263 on a black strap looks cool. It would be even more convincing w/ the Rolex logo on the clasp. It gives the watch a different feel or look, should we say- more vintage maybe. I have the same watch and I think I'm going to have the hand on the six o'clock subdial immobilized. That way it won't bother me as much. Of course, my real "to-it" project (who knows when I'll get to it) is a DW V72 kit so I can put my V72 movement in it and get as close as possible to the real thing.

Lol, I've got the DW V72 kit, with the extra 6265 bezel, but haven't bought the movement yet. Just when I get close to funding the purchase, I end up buying another watch or sending one out to get modded! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 I like the alternative look of leather with the vintage Daytonas. It is a refreshing break from the all-too-common oyster bracelet. Vintage chronos and leather go very well together. I also agree, add a Rolex strap buckle & you've got yourself a winner. Here's an old shot of one of my vintage chronos strapped with leather and with a Rolex buckle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
