6263 rep found in drawer after 8y...

Recommended Posts

 Friends of the forum,

 

So basically I used to build and play with reps a bit previously and I once bought a nice 6263 back in 2014/2015 for around 600€ from one of the forums! It was a nice build and I liked it a lot!
One day my father managed to drop some glue on it by accident and try to fix it and polish it and destroyed the bezel and the crystal... since then it's been in a drawer and forgot about.

 

I've been into gens since and last week I found it again and was thinking of fixing and maybe upgrading it. Unfortunately I can't find any information on any forum or e-mail I have except when I paid the seller and he sent me the shipping number :/ I used to have a list of the parts and stuff but just can't find it. 

I was wondering if anyone in the RWG could maybe help me identify the parts I have and recommend what and where I should source a new bezel and crystal and also if you'd have any tips on what I should be upgrading and what mods I could our should do?

I'm lowkey glad I'm back and might dig up a franken Panerai I misplaced a couple of years ago lol

Thankful for any input!

Clark Watch Parts on ebay has the tropic 21 crystal, as does ofrei's. You can also message Clark for the insert and bezel. You may not need a new bezel. Crown Art Customs also does inserts.

It looks kinda amazing with the nicks/scuffs! More gen-like :)

This looks like it had some work done to it prior to your purchase - nice “natural look” ageing!

I was thinking the same!!!  I’d leave it as is and wear it!  Looks like it’s been through some life!!

I'd wear it as is. Looks like more than a few of the gens look like after 40 to 50 years.

I just saw those trusted dealers and will contact them. Guessing that would be the right way.

Marvellous Replica is good for this sort of stuff. This is an old post by him, the prices may have changed a bit, but it's still valid.
