New to this ultra breed of rep watch enthusiasts , normally just look at popular sites ....tell me who is this DW dealer and where can I get a Quality vintage Daytona Im getting one built, from elsewhere but I want to explore the DW path aswell. What's the site address can anyone post me a link without endorsing it ..as Im asking?

Plus any info with regards to building the perfect (near) 6263 and 6265 money not a problem as long as its not the $50.000.00 on E~bay

DW sells the same cases for less than Phong does, but your biggest hit, by far, comes from the Valjoux 72 movement (once you are actually able to acquire one) & all the ancillary gen parts you need. Figure $1,500+ for those (plus the cost of the case) and you still have to get everything constructed into a cohesive watch. Considering the amount of work required, I can see why Phong charges what he does for a fully-assembled Daytona.

I proposed the idea to DW that he consider selling the 7751-version here (the 7751 is the manual-wind version of the 7750), but he felt there would not be a sufficient number of paying customers (retail would run around $800) to make it worth his while. And my informal poll, while showing there is some interest here, did not convince him otherwise. But, I agree with you that such a watch is sadly missing from the marketplace.

Thanks ~Freddy Ive already got J & W making me a 6263 they are going source me a V72 movement the whole deal is being built by them with genuine parts, The end cost is $6500.00 (toppy i know) But bear in mind the real deal is $50.000.00 on E~bay and im not planning to sell it, as it will have no box and papers.

It will be a good example that I can 'smoke' around town for the rest of my life . If it turns out good I will get them to 'Frank' me a 6265 as well.

Thanks for the Tip . I'd Never heard of J and W before you advised me . "I owe you one matey" (I mean a pat on the back, not a watch hehehe) I know this sounds painful but you know the meagre strap that goes with these little vintage Daytona's. Well with a little careful tooling or filing on the end link (collar) of a standard Oyster strap and you can make the bigger strap fit without it looking like the thin example they came with. Ive done one and it looks good. I even did it with a newer 'Rolesor' strap even though its not the strap for that watch I dont mind. its a strong sturdy (non Rattler).

I am buying custom vintage Daytonas, but there is never one that really does the whole trick either the movement cant set the time, something falls off the subdials are the wrong material or too close together, (serious offence)!! it has to be black with white dials with black or ss bezel I dont mind I would prefer a 39 or 40 mm case size even though I know teh older ones were only 37mm. Help Who is DW and how do I get in touch. I want ~ Parts emporium and someone to build it.

I want to pay good money for a genuine SWISS movement for a custom built Vintage daytona preferably auto. ??
