KeNnY 29 Posted October 15, 2012 Hey all, so I already had wrote this topic, but stupid internet connection at my work has dropped and when I tried to preview what I have wrote I lost connection and lost all the half hour text and pictures ! shit I am pissed, but hey will write it again.... So finally after 3 months from order I have finished this Rolex 6263 Daytona Paul Newman Chronograph franken, and even this watch brought me a lot of headaches, it was worth it ! I am very happy of the results, it looks amazingly great. So before we jump into pics here are what we did to it. What we did and had Watch modded Rolex 6263 Daytona Cartel version from Mary ingod44 ROLEX DAYTONA PAUL NEWMAN MATTE DIAL IVORY WITH T SWISS T modified Venus clones movement 6 o'clock gear and pin to accept gen/aftermarket dials regulated movement within COSC redrilled case tube hole and to accept gen tube and crown rethreated thread in case to accept gen tube Clarks tropic plexi crystal installed gen Tube 7030 Gen crown 703 Redrilled lug holes from 1,1mm to 1,2 mm and then 1,3mm to accept gen springbars Reshaped, aged, polished case to give worn, refurbished well cared look This is how the watch looked before This is how we want to look the watch close to, for the little money invested And my finished product Hope you like it and thanks for watching PS: I also made a video !!!

andepad 0 Posted October 15, 2012 Kenny I saw your "preview video" on this sometime back.... ...was wondering how you will pull off aligning the small hands on gen-dimension dial. (spacing different from std Lemania movements) Simply Amazing work! Bravo! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnPilot 1 Posted October 15, 2012 Great work. But I don't see "Daytona" above the counter at 6? Why? Just curious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeNnY 29 Posted October 15, 2012 Kenny I saw your "preview video" on this sometime back.... ...was wondering how you will pull off aligning the small hands on gen-dimension dial. (spacing different from std Lemania movements) Simply Amazing work! Bravo! Thank you mate ! haha yeah you have to modify the gear with pin to accept gen dial, only difference on hands is the 6 o'clock hand. Great work. But I don't see "Daytona" above the counter at 6? Why? Just curious. Thank you mate The specified creame color dial didn't have Daytona written, but my customer wanted this dial color, so we went with this one. Great work Kenny. Thank you buddy !
