GHBG35 Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I have tried hard not to get involved in the Rolex Rep dept. stashing spare pennies till I can get the "real deal" for fear that my accountant (wife) will not allow such a purchase if I am content with the rep. But when I saw the $29.00 Daytona I pulled the trigger just for kicks. And didn't wear it for months finding excuses to not, oh it's too small, or today will be the day the movement explodes. I finally put away the Pams and Omega's and strapped it on. Wow, from my first stop at the coffee shop I have gotten compliments and looks. EVERYONE knows this watch, and I have to say has more presence than the biggest 44mm pam I own. Looks like I am a convert, been admiring a few DSSD's, and air kings as well.

lhooq Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Last year, I bought a $30 all-gold Daytona (with pusher-powered subdials and an unstoppable sweep hand) to complete an 'old skool rap' costume for a party. It is a very low-quality rep, but the wrist presence is immense. It got more comments that evening than my beloved DW6263 ever received in the past six months. You just can't beat a big gold Rolex!

lhooq Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 I don't know where the OP got his $29 Daytona from, but I bought mine here in the Philippines, at a shopping center that is famous for selling fake goods. 95% of the reps there are assorted crap, while the few good pieces are terribly overpriced. It's nice to be able to see them up close, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
