freddy333 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 I was not aware this thread was still active, but since it is, here is another entry - a non-DAYTONA 6239 Completed so far - Installed gen T21Converted (asymmetrical pusher/'slow beat') auto-wind A7750 to manual-wind 7760 (removed rotor, reduction & reversing wheels, which are sitting in container above watch). Movement now sounds, winds & functions similar to a V72. To do - Swap pushers out for Ofrei PD 61.701s (visually/functionally same as Rolex oem 23-P3-0)Gen 6mm Twinlock/tube (en route)Remove paint from chrono sweep seconds hand (probably)Low profile DW caseback (en route)Gen 7835/357 folded link bracelet or a nice strapSwap dial crown for more accurate crown (if anyone has a source for dial crowns or has a damaged 62xx dial with a good, accurate crown they do not need, please PM me)May swap tachymeter scale bezel for plain bezel (this will convert the watch from 6239 to 6238) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy333 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 I've always loved the "non-daytonas"! Great job freddy, congrats! Wear it well Thanks JoJo. From a design perspective, I think the non-Daytona (and non-Oyster) Cosmographs are especially unique because of the additional amount of 'white space' on their dials. The sparser dial gives these chronographs an especially pure & striking appearance. It is definitely wearing well on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cats Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 How could i forget the one and only "true" vintage i have which i got after my father died. Can't supply pics of the caseback at the moment because this watch is with a good friend of mine who will clean it and service the movement and install a new crystal.

The dial is matt and the writing is yellow but not gilt. They don't look to bad as standard the main thing that lets them don is the crown guards. This one has had the guards done, gen crown installed and the lugs drilled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the standard 5513 dials are badly flawed, which is why I got hacked off and went for the 5512 which are much more accurate. I would prefer a 5513 but I am not happy $400 for a rep dial.
