Crown Is way too large and cgs are too small. But the cgs wouldn't look as bad with a smaller crown. Look at this gen.

Ordered mine today, this watch has a gigantic crown.. Gen seems large too. I didn't notice it in the pics at first but now I see.. Hopefully it will accept gen parts. Here's the pics the vendor sent me.

Seems as though the rotor is moving while manually winding the crown. Seems like its on full power reserve. I did wear the watch for a little before winding it manually. My other etas dont do this..

Avoid any 1680 unless its a MBW. To my knowledge there are no MBW 1680s available through vendors.

Ive never had it out in public, Mostly because I could never pull a watch like this off.. I'm too plain looking and my volvo doesn't fit the part lol

The pushers came with the watch. Its was suppose to come with a extra metal bezel but never did. Shortly after that the vendor disappeared. I remember the vendor having a very impressive web site showing the watch totally disassembled with high quality pics of all the parts.

Im wondering who else may have one?

So its going to run for 5 days and stop like that one I had 2 years ago lol.

What rep daytona model is most accurate?

gplracer where did you source your paul newman dial? I have a old EE 6263 that Ive held on to. These 6263's are amazing.

So whats a DW 6263 worth these days? I know I havent seen his auctions for complete watches in a long time.

Awesome, I've seen a 6263 on a jubilee bracelet. Im getting a bug for a gen rolex of some sort.

This watch has to be the most photogenic of them all!

Are there any improvements on the market? I know the DW topped it awhile back but I was holding out for a watch that actually worked..

I think you have the same watch as me. A nicer version though (Correct case). Unfortunately mine is built with a Sub case. This watch has some imperfections.... The the date wheel position is incorrect ect. The watch has really nice build quality though. The date wheel while positioned wrong has the sharpest font Ive seen. Not a bad watch but dont bring it with in a mile of the Rolex AD. GEN

Thanks much Vbarrett. Now I feel silly.

Well I can remove the old one. But I cant up load a new pic. The old pic keeps coming back?

The old one will not die? Ive uploaded three different pics but seem to be stuck with the old one. Post Police, I used the search button and have tried a number things but its still not working. http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=9823

Reminds me of the time I brought my 1680 into the A.D. for service. The sales woman was sure it was probably fake because "rolex crystals dont scratch". Then she asked "Where did you purchase it? Ebay....."

Thanks much TTK. Im using a cheap point and shoot digital. I have a old Nikon F5 film camera but its very tricky so I stick to the point and shoot. I was looking at a new Nikon D2Xs Digital but with a decent wide angle lens its more costly than a new Submariner. Id rather have the Submariner.

Ok, after much practice... Gen Rep

That watch is nice but not accurate. If you really want that model then go for it. Just Know that its incorrect in case dimensions pusher alignment and a few more areas. That watch is 39mm the real deal is 37mm. The pushers are also symmetric which is incorrect. All this really is trivial though, taking into account that they no longer make accurate versions of that watch. At least that I'm aware of. You might try to purchase a DW from a member although I doubt theyll let it go.

Sorry didnt mean to chime in here. But yeah neat idea.

Anyone tell me how you take a pic like this? I mean the gold on this rep looks better than any Gen Ive ever seen... So is this done with filters? Ive been wanting to take some pics of my two tts like this but I cant get anywhere close to this.

Is it just the camera angle (referring to the bottom pic) or did the rep suffer crystal failure?
