MK1 and MK2 have smooth button ends

I bought pushers from Phong, and I ask smooth version correct for 6263 from 1970 to 1974.
My is Paul Newman dial.


Which was mounted on the 6263 up to 1974 so it is obliged to have the Pushers mark 1 or mark 2. But it must be said that often during the service the buttons were replaced with the more recent Mark 3 (with the grooves) in how much waterproofing. So we can very well find several 6263s from the early 70s with the 3 mark pushers

Is it difficult to model the case of the new Noob to obtain a more gen like curvature?

No, not for an expert.

There's loads of excess metal on the noob case that makes it more or less straightforward unless you're in the middle of lockdown and your tools are in a self storage unit. Then you spent 3 solid days of sanding by hand and a week cursing the pain :D

Beauty of a watch, bro. What are the specs? Specifically, what dial is that?

Thank you. The watch is amazing and really pops. Especially the dial.

Quick follow-up question: For the dial, is it MQ, Ruby, Phong, NTD or something else?

Thanks again bro.
