Pump vs Screw pushers on vintage PN’s

[SubLover50]

What’s your preference?
The market seems hotter for screw buttons, but between a Newman 6241 with two lines text, and a Newman oyster 6263, I would personally choose the 6241.

Curious to hear your vision!

I have both types. Esthetically I find the differentiation to be minimal. Functionally it requires slightly more effort to unscrew the pusher but not a big deal.

However in terms of robustness, the screw downs win. I have sheared off the simple pushers by accident by getting them snagged.

I prefer the screw pushers, but do not own a Daytona. Love the look of them!

Nobody ever uses them anyway, but pump for me if I had to choose (which I don't - I've never been into Daytonas).

x100. Much prefer the screw-down pushers. Gives the watch a slightly chunkier feel, which it needs because it's quite a dainty piece really. And I also love the way the "teeth" of the pushers complement the crown, as shown here in this shot of my 6263 in the rain.

I always love to see that beautiful watch, Aaron.

Thanks, Dan!

It would seem to me that if one wanted a PN, they would want a 6239, like THE PN.
IMHO, all others, although some more rare, are "just" Daytonas with exotic dials.
Please advise ,,,,,, I am sure someone will.

These are beautiful pieces. There was talk that true PN dial never originally featured on the screw-down pusher models, rather the 2 most desirable features were put together to create the perfect model.
