DW Rolex vinage Daytona

[Mickey Padge]

Just got this piece back from Domi, after some serious work to get her back up and running again, thanks very much Domi for your excellent service and help in this matter!

This is a DW vintage Daytona, with a slightly different bezel I sourced, and an aftermarket crown and tube. The watch uses a manual wind 7750, Domi did his magic there, removing the auto parts and installing manual wind ones

Not sure how accurate it is, in fact it probably isn't true to any gen, but it has a set of parts that I like best!

I am very happy to finally have this watch on my wrist and working, even more so when you consider it was a member sale gone wrong, sorry to the peeps that ended up with nothing, at least I was lucky and received a watch at all, even a broken beat up one.....

Cheers!

I must have missed the background story on this watch, but it looks great, MP.

Thanks freddy333!

It wasn't pretty, I think three members purchased this same watch, I was lucky, and I received it, in a non working not as advertised state, the other two poor fellows got nothing

Suffice to say I am pretty sure the seller was booted from the boards at least

Cheers!

looks good, the vintage daytona bug is nibbling at me a bot these days, but not as much as the GMT bug

[Mickey Padge]

Have you been vaccinated yet?

Which GMT version? The ceramic GMTIIc or an older vintage build?

The only thing that bugs me about this watch is the lack of date, but there's not a lot I can do about that!

A plexy glass vintage GMT master i think

I think the 6263 would be an easier project parts wise, but like anything else I suppose it depends on how far you want to take things, a V72 based 6263 is not cheap, but one like mine is much more affordable

I have one too Mickey and I really like it.

Looking good, my man Doesn't have to be a perfect recreation of a specific model, if it's got all the parts which you personally like, and it represents the watch which you want to be wearing, that's all that matters

Good to see that its working and looking good. The smart thing I did was to use my CC via paypal. I filled in a disputed charge form and got my money back from my CC and Paypal. So it ended well.

Thanks for the pic gplracer, looks fantastic!

Also it's good to know you got your cash back mjmj, I wonder if the funds came from the "sellers" account, I sure hope so....
