Pseudonym 0 Posted June 18, 2014 Just in from Rob who's too generous for his own good, I believe this originally came from Tori so thanks to her too! It's a nicely beaten up and aged vintage sub (5513?!) with Tiffany & Co dial (that's a real nice detail IMO). It looks the nuts! DC All about community spirit I have to say- what a difference on steel bracelet!!! Holly shit! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ishmael 92 Posted June 18, 2014 They really do look good, you're right though the black dial is the star of the show, it's making me rethink which one I want to get! Do me a favour and when you get the gold bezel version with black dial do a little side by side can you mate? DC You bet! I just got the QC pics of the gold 6265 and I'm looking for leather straps as we speak. I'm done wrestling with that riveted bracelet - I'm just gonna remove it the moment I unbox it... otherwise... I have ordered THIS watch on the strength of THIS photo. I shall site you as witness in my divorce. (I also ordered a Tudor BB v2, & have pending order for 2 watches with WatchFinder - but you're getting ALL the blame) P. P - you have my unwavering support. If the missus can't understand the significance of the black dial 6263, despite her doubtless brilliance, then she is clearly averse to reason. As venerable American Patrick Henry once exclaimed: "Give me a gold 6263 with a black dial, or give me death!" (I also ordered a Black Bay... I'm quite sick.)

I'd buy that off you If she ever leaves my stable I'll be gifting here on, no "buying" involved You can hopefully answers question for me though Tori. The dial has had some varnish/colouration treatment, is it water based?! In other words if I wanted to return it to white text and have it relumed would the current treatment clean off?!

Haha, thanks for the PM Mark, I wouldn't have guessed that it was only coffee, the effect is pretty convincing, but would like to return it to it's former glory and maybe get a KeNny relume done! It's a great watch, love the well worn case! It's funny to think it's gone from Mark to Hazz to Vic to Rob then to me, it's seen some action this watch, I like that about it!!

It certainly is, so which model was this? It's like a no date sub but it has an HEV on the side like a SeaDweller? I'm guessing the case has been modded coz the CGs are nice and slim!!

_DC_ 218 Posted June 18, 2014 That's interesting!! Begs the question, if they have this case with these nice slim crownguards, why do so many of their vintage subs (5512, 5513 etc) have awful thick chunky CGs?!? Dc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
