Hi TheSociety,

Impressive collection and knowledge.

I bought this DW 6239 in M2M deal back in september : https://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/337458-Modded-DW-Rolex-6239?highlight=DW+6239

I've been setting the time right (thanks to Freddy over @ RWG*), but I'm now looking to improve modding : crown and pushers could be better, hour compax is now functional (but wasn't when I bought and received the watch, and don't know why...). Obviously, this is a symmetrical DW with a 7750 converted to manual and I don't think that can be modded.

Would you have any tips to give me ?

Thanks in advance for your answer(s)

Next step would be gen crown. Not sure what pushers would work but I highly advise you stay far away from using chronograph Function on this watch. 7750 are finicky. If you want to play with the chronograph you should get a cartel base and mod that instead.

That was my initial idea: found one on the bay, not expensive but threads appear to be very used... would you have a price range in mind for a good one ?

Do you know about Ofrei pushers?

I've been using the chronograph function, and this 7750 seems sturdy enough... at least until now. The "mystery" remains about the hour compax

She's finally ready! The star of this entire build is the extremely rare ingod newman dial! I added the correct flat S insert and thin hands for the finishing touch. Case was reshaped, then further softened [emoji4]
