Mac and Cheese sucks
Around 13 mm, it's gen spec if you use a viet case, Gen daytonas use val 72/727 so will be the same thickness.
hi all - i bought this off rwi about ~2 yrs ago and it's apparently a build by thesociety.
the ref 6239 with tiffany dial should be pump pushers and not screwdown pushers i believe.
can any experts suggest where I can buy compatible pump pushers for this? I believe it's running a ST19 and has either a cartel or viet case.
any help is appreciated.

That’s a vietnam case with a gen spec caliber in it. Visible on the moving hour counter at 6 o’clock.

The cartel/ ST19 has no function of the 6 o’clock counter, yours seem to move, or it’s just badly angled.

That is a beautiful watch !
I am a newbie at the 6263 game. About to head down the path by buying a "Cartel base" Marvelous Replica $200 + $30 shipping 6263
Any words of advice ? Would like to end up with a watch similar to yours.
Thank you!

Thx sir for your kind words. Mine is a cartel based build by Slay. Case was reshaped, and has Vietnam dial, Vietnam bezel, custom thin hands, Clark plexi, gen crown, softened stock cartel pushers and gen 7835 bracelet.
We have some really good modders here on forum and they can literally do magic with their hands. Cartel 4 digit Daytonas are great base to start with for a budget route.

Hey all! I’m new to RWI and looking for a decent 6263 Big Red build (black dial). I recently bought a cartel 6263 PN from Marvellous and I love it. I was going to buy the cartel Big Red but the dial looks way off, since the subdials look silver, instead of white. Could you please offer some suggestions for a nice simple build? I don’t know where to get nice Vietnam dials or anything like that. It doesn’t have to be a perfect or expensive build, I really just want a nice decent dial. Your advice is much appreciated, thank you!

Ruby's is probably your best option: http://www.rubyswatch.com/Products/parts/day-6263 You need to enter a password in order to access Ruby's site. I will PM you the password. Ruby's doesn't currently have a Big Red dial in stock, but they seem to update their stock every few weeks and I have seen that they have regularaly had Big Red dials in stock in the past. I would email them. I think the cost will be around $300-$350 for a dial + 50 shipping.
Yuki is another option, but I think Yuki daytona dials are a step down from Ruby's: https://www.yukiwatch.com/catalog/it...9/10282040.htm
FYI, you will need to modify the ST19 movement to fit a gen spec Vietnam dial. hanski posted some information about that here: https://forum.replica-watch.info/for...79#post7157379. There is also a more detailed explanation in this thread over on RWG.cc: https://rwg.cc/topic/136033-modding-...-dial-spacing/
Best of luck!

Thanks for all of that information! I noticed that the new cartel subdials actually don’t “bleed” at the 6. My new cartel 6263 PN has a bit of space between the 6 subdial and the outer ring. I noticed that the spacing is slightly different for the Big Red as well. Did they fix the spacing now? Would the mods still be necesssary?
