Wore my '39 today 1 of these days, I will have to do a copycat pic with my Z.

Congratulations, but best not to get ahead of yourself. Being able to (honestly) charge for watch repairs takes alot of practice. In any case, good luck & enjoy the experience.

Can a Daytona play?

Ignoring the issues cited by previous posts, it looks like a nice rep Sub. I have seen better, I have seen worse. As always, the salient point is how much deviation from gen are YOU willing to tolerate? As always, you should educate yourself on how the gen 5513 looks & then go shopping for reps. That way, YOU can compare reps based on how much the sins of each rep bother YOU.

If you are willing to do some serious modding to the inside of the DW case, just about any V72 can be made to fit. However, considering the condition of that movement, fit may be the least of your problems. The movement may have other needs beyond a basic overhaul, which can only be determined once the watchmaker has it apart.

Read it? Surely, you jest. Remember, this is the fairer sex. She wanted to wear my watch, so I gave it to her & that is how she put it on. Obviously, not a sportsfan.

No mystery. She put the watch on backwards. Women.

That pic was taken in the Tr The models - not naked & you have to pay more if you want them to jump, but they show off my watches nicely

That is a bit high. 325 is generally considered the upper safe limit so the balance wheel does not knock.

PM sent.

Ditto back to you. & your car trumps mine.

DuDro - Did you find that job in your chosen career (I am assuming you would rather not have details posted here)?

Are you a postal inspector (1 of the few that does not wear a rep gotten from an intercepted package)? & where is the pic of the gen collection?

If the stem lock is stuck down, you have no choice but to remove the dial/hands. Once the dial is removed & you have a looksee at how the keyless works operates, the problem should be obvious. In most cases, you simply have to realign the parts that popped out of position. Good luck.

Oops, I was not even aware this dealer was listed here. You really do learn something new every day.

Only as a last resort (before throwing a watch out) would I whack a watch against anything. 1 of the 1st rules you learn in watchmaking is to never strike a watch or force anything.

1st off, most rep watches contain used or unserviced movements. 2nd, I have never heard of Toro Bravos & most rep sellers (not listed on RWG) should be considered rogues. Depending on what you paid for it, I think you have 3 choices - keep trying Toro Bravos to see if they will replace the watch, take it to a local watchmaker for a complete overhaul (disassembly, cleaning & oiling) or replace it with a watch from 1 of the sellers listed on our site (I would recommend Trusty or PerfectClones). But, before you do anything, I would recommend reading Toad's Guide to Newbies, which is pinned atop the Introduction forum.

I would recommend going to a Chanel AD to see what the gen looks like. Alternatively, try searching google & be sure you are not looking at a rep site/watch.

The date, especially when amplified with the addition of a cyclops, mars the purity of a Sub dial. Putting a date feature on tool watches that were designed, primarily, for specific tasks (diving in the case of a Sub & timing races in the case of a Daytona) makes the watch look a bit silly, as if the date was slid in, as an after-thought, sometime after the watch was original designed. On a Datejust or other non-tool watch it looks fine.

Working late just past midnight, so I am starting the Saturday wristies still wearing my 116509

Looks good, but where is the full frontal?
