KBH 7 Posted January 29, 2010 No PD, you need a special tool to bend the links. Without that it is next to impossible to ajust a rivited bracelet. Which Rolex bracelets are correct on the 6263? Does anyone have pics of the case and case back engraving on the gen? I hope you guys are mentioning RWG1.1 (and linking to it) when you email these dealers. I have sent an email off and am waiting on prices. What mods can be done on this? Is the below list complete? Gen/aftermarket crown and tube. Clarkes crystal Otto Frei pushers. Col. Here's what I found for the bracelets and end link that were supplied with this at various times. Bracelets: 7205, 7835, 78350 End links: 71, 71H, 371, 571 Also, at least one of the crystals is the Rolex T21. Not sure at the moment if that's the flat or round one.

hk45ca 0 Posted January 29, 2010 i honestly don't know how it comes, i haven't seen a shot of the inside of the case back. really it would be irrelevant because of the movement and it not being visible anyway. as far as the markings on the bracelet and end links i look at it like this, obviously a black mayer dial that is 100% correct has sold for 160,000.00. normally you wouldn't see somebody wearing that around everyday. it is a very old watch and if it has had a great deal of use parts would have been replace along the way. if they have been replace with what was available it would no longer be valued at that kind of price and would be more likely to be worn. it's value would be much much less. all of these old daytonas i have seen on trf have been in need of a bracelet so incorrect numbers would be very likely.

RolexAddict 1 Posted February 7, 2010 (edited) C.R.S is the ident of the Swiss factory who has made Pre-Daytona and Daytona cases and case backs for the Rolex company from 1963 to 1978, like the Singer company who has made dials Edited February 7, 2010 by RolexAddict Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 996 Posted February 7, 2010 Any more comment on these cases RA? What remians to be done to make these as close to the gen as possible? How good are his dials? Col. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RolexAddict 1 Posted February 7, 2010 I have ordered from David a case and a PN dial, its on the way, when arrived I will give tech comments and confirm if this stuff is the same like the one sold by Spinmaster (reproduction of the original case/case back markings, assymetrical pushers etc.). If you order you have to send him a message asking for a Rolex printed dial, as the method to sell legaly on Ebay consists to show and officially sell a "PN sport watch style"... or a no-name - sterile dial. Very clever. I also ordered the famous Daytona book from Stefano Mazzariol "Rolex Daytona from birth to the myth." I will get it in a few days. This book is THE reference for tech. datas As for today, I have sold the first Daytona vintage I modified the reset pusher as it was a test and I was not completely convicted. I have right now 3 Daytona vintage bought from Josh I had TIG welding job on and re-drilled the reset pusher hole. Not difficult, I have the equipment and tools, but takes time to re-polish the case and re-install tube and pushers. I will post pics, now they have perfect assymetrical pushers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 996 Posted February 7, 2010 Thanks mate. There are at least a dozen people waiting to see what you think of the DW case. I have been speaking to him a fair bit of late and he has registered here. Hope you also asked him for the engraving, it's also an extra. The ebay cases come with no markings. Col.

RolexAddict 1 Posted February 10, 2010 Just a precision : I got today THE REFERENCE Daytona book from Italy, " Rolex Daytona, a legend is born" from Guido Mondadi Editions, this book is incredible, (and expensive...) I confirm CRS is a Swiss mechanical company owned by Charles René Spielman. This company had a contract to built the Daytona cases for the Rolex company till 1978.

Noddy 0 Posted March 6, 2010 I've been in discussion with DW over exactly what I am going to order for my 6263 or 6240. When he does the case engraving between the lugs does it look correct? He says he'll do my choice of serial number so that's a nice touch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KBH 7 Posted March 6, 2010 The engraving looks fine. Very close to the same as on my gen DJ cases. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Noddy 0 Posted March 6, 2010 The engraving looks fine. Very close to the same as on my gen DJ cases. Woah! Just heard how much the engraving costs! :ahw: So much for that idea! I used to do engraving on a pantograph machine - wish I still had access to one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
