Hi guys,
I've always been a sub fan but recently I am getting more and more interested in daytona's!
Now here's the 'dilemma'. I like reps and gens, but have a thing for wearing reps that I could also afford in gen form. (Not saying I can easily afford a daytona, but atm I could)
- Vintage (DW/Modded) daytona's seem to be the closest to gen without breaking the bank, BUT the gen version of those are $ 30K and upwards easily.
- 16520 el primero's are 4-5K (franken) but at that price they are getting closer to the cost of a gen, and I don't know how much I love the daytona (compared to my love for subs) to dish out 4-5K for a franken.
- 116520 seems to be off compared to gen. I've read a 116520 JF Factory review with OP being incredibly enthusiastic but in a later response he compared it to the gen and it was off by miles in terms of feel/finish.
Is there an in between route? An accurate modern daytona rep, or a vintage rep where the gen isn't $30-50K or maybe a semi-franken 16520? That would be an easier step to get to know the daytona and decide how to go from there.
Thanks for your input
