Watchmeister Posted June 5, 2010 Report Posted June 5, 2010 Almost a year ago I managed to convince Ubi to part with one of the 16520 twins. Of course it was impeccable. But then I came upon a pair of gen chrono pushers which was a must to go with the gen crown, bezel and crystal. And here is the upgraded piece. As always, big thanks to Ubi for parting with it and Rob for adding those pushers. My dynamic duo: Loving those pushers:
jmarin.72 Posted June 5, 2010 Report Posted June 5, 2010 Top notch Daytona built by a top notch member Just gorgeous mate Post some more pics if you can for us
HauteHippie Posted June 5, 2010 Report Posted June 5, 2010 The gen 16520 pushers aint cheap, but make a big and very worthwhile difference... BTW, that dial is starting to looks a little Patrizzi-esque. I like it!
Migge Posted June 5, 2010 Report Posted June 5, 2010 You must have some real "dirt" on R that made him sell you that one. It is nothing short of stunning. And a true grail watch for many!
Watchmeister Posted June 5, 2010 Author Report Posted June 5, 2010 You must have some real "dirt" on R that made him sell you that one. It is nothing short of stunning. And a true grail watch for many! Actually the opposite. We have been good friends for years. I have even had the good fortune to visit with both him and his better half (and she is the better half). Needless to say there was shock and awe the first time we ever got together. He opens a case and there are 20 or so pristeen beauties. I had a few with me that day and we actually swapped a couple. The rest is history.
By-Tor Posted June 5, 2010 Report Posted June 5, 2010 That's beyond nice! Hey Ubi, do you only have your whitey left now?

Watchmeister, it was intented sa a joke, but I guess you got that. What I know from talking to R on here he is as good as they come, a truly good person

redwatch Posted June 5, 2010 Report Posted June 5, 2010 Looks awesome! I was wondering what happened to the black twin!
rolexmaniac88 Posted June 5, 2010 Report Posted June 5, 2010 You are a lucky man! You can't get any better than that
ubiquitous Posted June 5, 2010 Report Posted June 5, 2010 W is right; Mrs. Ubi is by far the better half! She's got a heart of gold Hey Ubi, do you only have your whitey left now? Indeed- Just the white dial remains in my Daytona collection. Time to diversify a bit
Watchmeister Posted June 6, 2010 Author Report Posted June 6, 2010 I am always in favor of diversifying. It took 3 years for the Daytona. Give it another 3 years and I may be the proud owner of another one of his masterpieces. It may take a while but I am not going anywhere. By the way, please give my best to Mrs. Ubi.
Ronin Posted June 7, 2010 Report Posted June 7, 2010 Pushers look great, the whole watch looks great.
