Ending the work week wearing my Cosmo'beater

Interesting, if questionable, comment (by Steve) about a new release of superdomes here.

Although I did add a bit of enhanced patination, the dial in my 6536/1 came from MQ

Not a criticism, just trying to make you aware. But good luck at the AD.

I hate to say it, but it looks like a rep.

yes, that is the 1 - watchny.

No aftermarket dial/case is perfect, all have accuracies. YOU must research & decide which component's inaccuracies bother YOU the most. In general, if cost is an object, Yuki is the best buy for component parts. If accuracy trumps cost, Phong is usually the best (but still not perfect & his quality varies, so be prepared to work with him). In any case, if you want the best, expect to do some additional modifications on the case yourself (or find someone to do it for you).

Check to see if your phone has a macro setting. A watch like that deserves (much) better pics. Congratulations, either way.

As the gloom approaches, thinking it might be useful to have a date in the coming days, I switched over to my beater Monday afternoon

Yes, good luck on the hunt. You might consider searching ebay for 1 of the aftermarket bezels like this (almost an exact match with the 4th generation gen - sorry, but I do not recall seller's name, but I believe there was a thread about these bezels a couple of months ago)

Whoever wrote that knows as much about Newman Daytonas as the typical gen Rolex owner knows about his watch (nothing).

Beautiful (albeit a bit loud for my tastes) watch, but not a Paul Newman (Newmans are 62xx Valjoux-powered models with exotic dials made from the early 60s until the late 80s).

It does look like conditions will be very serious in DC, which, according to revised storm tracking, looks to be in the storm's direct path. They also just raised the expected wind levels from 50mph+ to 80mph-110mph+. Sustained winds at that level could be devastating to the area. Batten down your hatches & keep your flashlight nearby, it looks like DC may be in for a rough ride over the next 48 hours.

Wearing my pre-Comex Sub

Not mad, but possibly toying with fate. Either way, I would have the markers repainted (with paint, not lume), because aftermarket dials usually come from the factory with brightly glowing lume (a dead give-away of fakery).

Both look professional, but the other 1 looks like a Christmas card.

I think you need a more accurate bezel with that watch (compare the spacing of 110 to a gen or good franken ).

I would stick with white. Artificially colored lume rarely looks authentic to me. And make sure it either does not glow or glows very little & fades quickly.

You should send this out as your Christmas card this year. Beautiful.

Although I am not a fan of the metalized dials, I always enjoy seeing a Sub. It is & will always be a classic icon.

I would have begun checking with the postal carrier, daily, once the tracking system stalled for 2 weeks. If they are unable to locate the package within 24 hours, I would request they begin a formal trace, which will either locate the package or result in it being declared lost.
