Hi MCU, I'm also looking at watchesspace.net & noticed Replica Watch Report had done a review - because I can't post links yet (yes I'm new to this forum) do a search for watchesspace on their replicawatchreport site Looks like they have good quality watches, but service/policy/shipping could be better Hope this helps.

Hi Dizzy, Thanks for the reply. Given $4000 being a little out of my price range for a replica, I'll start looking into one of the older + thinner version A7750 with the more "reliable" / low beat 21,600 movement. Sounds like you then need to piece together the remainder of components around this older case + movement to get an overall accurate replica? I'll have to look through Freddy's posts to see what he's come up with. Looks like this will also be a tough challenge to track down an older A7750 + movement. Will let you know how things progress. Kind Regards, DD.

Hi All, Out of all the new Daytona models, I've always had a sweet spot for the 116509. Whilst I know that most of these replicas have issues with the seconds at 6 movement - I'd still like to try my chances (& can always remove/rebuild this later) So far puretimewatch is the best I can see, looking around at the various sites on the links page/google. I wanted to see if there were anything else out there with a better/closer reproduction & more reliable movement than the "Asian 7750 29J automatic movement at 28800 vph (IMPROVED STABILITY AND RELIABILITY)" around. Does anyone have any good tips on the best approach, or where to buy or start building a reliable & accurate 116509 replica for around the $400USD mark, or am I setting out on an impossible quest? Many Thanks, DD
