freddy333 Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 What do you think about this 6263 v72 ? Is this seller affordable ? Thanks http://etayahonpo.jp/?pid=8058134 At today's conversion rate, you are looking at $3,287 (US dollars). A few of points to consider. For 1 thing, Honpo only sells to buyers in Japan & nearby Asian localities. For another thing, Honpo is not the most reliable seller (opinions on the quality of his reps & accuracy of pictures/descriptions vs the watch you receive tends to vary). I also happen to believe that the movement shown is an Asian clone of the Valjoux 72 (Ziggy & others disagree). If so, it is impossible to know how reliable it is. But, assuming the movement is sound (or a modded gen V72) & with the understanding that it is not perfect, it looks like a good deal for anyone who is unable to locate all of the parts & construct it himself.

alligoat Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 The price is fair if you get the watch in the pictures. I think it's a modified v72- the Japanese won't be the ones to copy the v72- the Chinese or Vietnamese might, but we haven't seen it yet. By the time you put all of the Rolex bridges on a v72, gather up all of the other parts and assemble it, you're bound to spend $2500-3000. But like Freddy says, will Honpo sell to you? Especially in Italy- it's not exactly easy to get things through Customs there is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the components in Honpo's watches are Chinese-made. Some of his watches may be partially assembled (poorly, from what I have seen) in Japan, but the components are the same as we are getting from China.

alligoat Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 I agree with you, freddy. China has become the watchmaking capitol of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy333 Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 I like the 18k 6239. Ditto. But, for that price, it needs a more accurate dial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
