Incoming Cosmo...
after selling a beautiful 6263 some time ago i never stopped feeling sorry...

Today i'm in love again... this '68 6239 arrived today and my sadness is over

a few quick iphone shots as a first impression, and it looks so much better in the flesh ! Don't mind the box it just came with the watch...

Great stuff. Enjoy that watch! And please post a few more wrist shots. I'd love to get some perspective on the size of the watch on the wrist.

i'll do that Mike !
i'm usually a sub or dweller wearer but i must say that the watch is feeling great on the wrist... not to small at all, just a bit getting used to the smaller bracelet (the clasp is realy thin)

Wearablilty :

i believe that the non screw pushers are more comfortable than the 6263 pushers because they are smaller and don't push against the wrist
otherwise the comfort is not different than the 6263... case size/ bracelet are the same


Design:
a big difference is the colour of the bezel.I love the look of the black insert on the 6263
on the other hand I like the 6239 with silver dial and insert because it makes the watch look a little bigger

the non screw pushers are size-wise more in balance with the case than the larger and fatter screw pushers of the 6263/6265 to my opinion


What can i say more, it's a fantastic watch to wear as is the 6263

I can imagine the feeling of getting a watch again that once left your hands with regret.

Congrats and it's a beautiful watch!
