If you can get for 35k range I'd go for it.

Service bezel and pushers. About $5k if you want to change them back to originals.

How do you know if the pushers and bezel are service ones or original? I am looking for a 6263 so I am educating myself with regards to this reference also..

Thanks..

Bezel does look new compared to the rest of the watch. Pushers don't bother me.

Service pushers are referenced on the RSC invoice. Bezel font is different than my 2.8mil SN. But that watch is a little newer.

On service pushers they will have a small ridge that circles all the way around the edge of the pusher on the surface of the pusher that is exposed when the screw down is fully tightened. Non-service pushers will not have the ridge. It will be smooth.

There's four "marks" of bezel widely accepted with also small variations within each mark apart from mark four which are all the same and are currently the issued service part and what the watch in question now has. Look at the fonts and spacing on various examples to see the differences.

I'm between this 6263 and a 6239 I looked at the other day. I am supposed to have the case opened and inspect the movement next week on the 6239.

Here are the pictures of the 6239. The clasp is not original, the hand in the register located at 9 o'clock is bent and the case was polished. The difference between the two is $10,000. Which one would you guys suggest getting?
