Are the screw down's accurate for the newman dials?

[JokerCat]

Correct me if I am wrong but the newman series used straight pusher's through it's production run, right?. Not that it bothers me as I think it is quite fashionable and a turn from the ordinary.

Oyster on dial = screw-type pushers

No Oyster on dial = push-button pushers

Newman dials originally appeared with the 6239, but were fitted to both Oyster & non-Oyster models

This is 1 of the few rules that I have never seen the Rolex factory break.

Very interesting. Did rolex produce that white/black color pattern? I do not see too many members with fully built vj72 daytonas with that dial. Just suspicous

Jockercat,Yes they have. indeed what you got there is the most accurate & affordable aftermarket PN dial in my opinion..

I absolutely agree with freddy... I was lucky to obtain much advice from him when procuring my DW. :notworthy:

Thanks guys. Which original part would make the most difference if I only chose one? tub, crown T21 crystal, gen band, black bezel, hands. D. wong has these original parts but I don't know if I want to drop that much cash yet. what do you experts think about it? BTW, Do you think this model is aesthetically pleasing.

A gen 19mm folded link (7835, which is what I always use on my vintage Daytonas) or solid link (78350) bracelet would be my next move.

I'd suggest to also do the crown. DW's is rather big.
