elliaz 0 Posted December 4, 2022 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! <3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tribefan 6,768 Posted December 4, 2022 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TA8088 1 Posted November 19, 2023 I'd wear it as is. Looks like more than a few of the gens look like after 40 to 50 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
