Ok boys can I seee more pics and specs of everyone's beautiful Daytonas I just CANT get enough of these beauties! Here's one of my PN from this morning Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you for looking out! I noticed you tagged me but out of respect for the seller I didn't want to say anything but it's too beat up for me. If it didn't have those 2 dings I would buy it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Is that yours?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's the one I'm missing [emoji15] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@Retina you buy that 5513 and let me take your 6241 hah

@paristoto@retina maybe this is why people buy GEN! They can only afford one or two haha

@retina specs? I'll buy it when you want to upgrade haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk @paristoto classy bro, classy!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow stunning! Is that pillows from Donerix's line of beautiful watch boxes? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You're in GEN PN territory [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow that's STUNNING Bro. Funny that it would be yours. There are only 4 known examples that I have counted across 4 forums - all DW of course. I know he probably made more but whatever happened to them we will never know! Your collection is seriously impressive! What are your plans for the Franken? Someday I will get the courage to do a Gen movement Valjoux 72 build! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well in any case like I said I think I paid a very fair given the mods / gen parts (regardless of whether the dials are reprints on gen plates etc) / gen rivet and case works [emoji4] Also here's a look at the elusive DW 6263 Albino Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Incredible read. I need to get your Franken and mine together for a photoshoot! Let me know if you're ever in California [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pls make put me first in line [emoji1374][emoji1374][emoji1374] love your Franken build! what else do you need to source? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Guys I appreciate the input. Either way I think it's a great buy. I have about $1400 in the Cartier one. This is what it has when I got it. The bezel I added later from my dads parts pin of gen parts so im pretty sure it's a gen bezel - I'll take some Better pics of it on the gen rivet when I get a chance Rolex Daytona 6239 Paul Newman Tiffany GEN Dial (refinished, one-off) GEN Pushers GEN Crystal GEN Rivet Bracelet (in amazing shape) GEN spec spring bars Athaya Crown / Stem / Tube Case softened Serviced movement Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That looks beautiful bro! Ps when are you gonna sell me the panda silver dial? [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I recall the thread you are talking about (although now can't be found). I didn't buy it from that person (tysodrum I believe it was?) so this is a different dial, could be the same refinisher though I'm not sure. I do beleive it's GEN PN dial, just not a T&C dial - like you said that would go well into the 5, maybe even 6 figure range. It wouldn't make sense. But I did compare it with the daytona reference book in large format and all the details lines up. In any case, I'm really enjoying it always a good controversy to get the blood pumpin haha

Thank you Retina! I have much to learn from you guys, I'm not an expert but just someone who reads and try to learn [emoji4] I enjoy meeting members in person too. Made countless friends on the forums and I'm grateful for that [emoji1374] Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI also want to add that I'm Totally in love with this Gen Dial Tiffany Paul Newman (refinished) this is absolutely an incredible watch. I have the gen rivet bracelet for it too [emoji4] And my other love a 6263 Paul Newman gen dial (also refinished) with patina on the subdials. Case has been slimmed and reworked.

I basically messaged every person who have every owned one back to 2010 across 4 forums. I don't know but I might have sent over 50 messages. One guy replied and he lived down the street from me! I ended up picking up the DW Albino and the two frankens. He's respectable and works with some well known names in the daytona world, namely Watchguyusa1, DW and he literally lives 7 mins walk from my loft. I will document all the pieces shortly but I consider myself very lucky to have acquired these so quickly. The gold one I got from a friend of mine from SF but happened to be in LA with it. Again, pure luck.

Thanks bro broken chrono but time keeping is great. This thing is so rare I didn't even care! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's refinished but it is a gen PN dial Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Guys I hit the jackpot the other day with the biggest Daytona find! DW 6263 Albino (ultra rare - 7750 movement needs work but I don't mind since I don't really see these ever!) DW 6263 Gold (rare) Paul Newman 6263 Franken White Gen Dial, Gen Hands, Gen Pushers, case reshaped Paul Newman 6263 Super Franken Black Gen Tiffany Paul Newman Dial, Case softened, Gen Pushers, Gen Rivet Bracelet Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey guys, So I've gotten lost into the interweb space of the elusive perfect vintage daytona. After doing a ton of research I realize I would like a daytona with a DW case or a full DW 7750 piece but DW is not someone I'd want to do business with (and it seems like he's long gone). That leaves us with Kenny (cartel base) and Watchguyusa1 (cartel base) but I don't see many of them pop up either. Is the only choice left to build my own? If so, which modder would you recommend?
