Rolex 6263 Daytona - An other DW dial modified !

One more DW 7753 dial modified here.... Nothing much done on the case except a slight reshaping and a 702 installed. All the work done is on the dial really ! I still need to change that ugly crystal and fit a beveled one and I'll be done ! That is the real problem with DW based Daytonas : they a...

A 6263 built with a DW case with a V72 and Gen parts could run $5000 to $8000 depending parts.

A 6239 built with a DW case (which is the most accurate case he made but to my knowledge was only available for the 7753 movement) would run from $1000 in stock form to $2000 modded.

The main problem I see with cartel rep 62XX cases are the slimer lugs but a lot can done with them and they can be very nice reps.

DWs 6263 was and is a very nice rep one of the best 62XX. His 6239 was the most accurate out of the box rep. He really hit out of the park in almost every way with the 6239 rep. Then he disappeared…

Thanks for that.

Do you know what the 6264 would be landing at?

I have the same watch obviously. If I remember right that particular dial was pretty faithful to the Gen as was the bezel.

The daytona 1967, year i was born, could you hazard a guess what that actually went for? I know the original went for 17 and half mill, I'm sure this has got to be close as it must of been one of the first ones made. Absolute beauty

This is an albino 6239 from DW- with the 7750 movt


this is a DW case with a Jensen dial and the V72 movement

I also built a 6238 with a DW case and a cartel dial and 7750 movement, but I don't have a pic and I'm away from home right now.

 

[gpvecchi]

Do you want to sell the Albino 6239?

Any news so far about what movement is the mystery one?

Thought I read somewhere that it was a 7750 with the rotor removed. Don't quote me though, I'm not 100% sure.

But 7750 has not the right specs for the two subdial, has it?

 

[Giammy]

Which other movement can fit in the vj72 case?

I was way off. Looks like Tripdog confirmed what it was here:

It is very strange that him was able to have an own manufactured movement
I think it’s more possible that him took a base movement and modified it to have his mystery one
Maybe is ever not a Valjoux!
It can be a 2892 variant or a 3018 eta/clone with chrono module too
All VJ 77xx are way too much differents from it
