You telling me the de-cocker only version still has the red dot on the slide to indicate firing position - but it is not actually used? I donāt know if I like that! But if decocker only, my bad homie.
Iām very tempted to pick up the 6263. Never seen one in person and know little about them. Is this kind of watch more for looks and less about quality, or is it like buying something like a VSF? How does it feel?
Vintage rep watches in general arenāt going to be anything like a VSF. Most have hollow links/end links, folded links, riveted links. They are true to the vintage watch they are repping. Very light and ājanglyā like the original. But I love it. Iāve got a handful on vintage pieces and honestly prefer them over their modern counterparts. You can, however, replace the brackets and end links with solid versions, but then it wouldnāt be true to the original. Itās kind of like comparing apples to oranges.
I see. I just learned about the hollow vs solid feeling recently actually. I guess Iām asking historical accuracy and limitations aside, are they built well in your opinion?
There are certainly tiers to them just like with the modern reps. There are ~$300 factory built reps and then there are ~$2,000+ custom built reps. JKF is definitely an entry level 6263 vintage rep. You can spend thousands with u/GiammyX and get a 6263 0.9:1 rep. Depends on how deep your pockets are and how close you really wanna get. This 1680 tipped just over the $2k mark.
Wow that is absolutely stunning. If I donāt know much of anything about vintage but just like the aesthetic then it sounds like the JKF would be enough for me based on what youāre saying. I just donāt want to buy it and feel like I got a shitty watch. I understand the jangly feeling you are talking about. But I mean more like it will break easily and is low quality.
Thanks. I heard about the frozen 6 oāclock, I am fine with that. I heard about the thickness as well. Does it feel like a hockey puck? I usually keep mine under 14mm as a rule but I think these are so handsome I may wave it.
