wimpie007 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 After laying it next to my other daytona's this one looks a bit smaller. Also the strap tapers down from 20mm to only 16mm The case looks different too: The top one is the black face that i bought. Any thoughts? Or are my other daytona's incorrect?

hackR Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 well...the black one kinda looks "wimpie"...no wait...that's you...i'm confused... you might want to add the size and the movement specs... and psst - what do i know anyhow...at least when it comes to this brand...

redwatch Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 I'm no expert on Daytona's, but that case on top looks just wrong. I've never seen lugs on any rolex dip down to such sharp points before. Something seems very wrong there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimpie007 Posted August 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Yeah i would't know, The movement is a high beat 7750 28k8 secs@6 and chrono's work Maybe they used the wrong case? My normal bracelets fit fine so that's the same. Also the crystal appears to be the same size but the case seems smaller/different. I have a 21J that has the same case though but looking at the gen it should be different... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmj Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Yes, from looking at the images, it does look smaller than the one its compared to. But the lume looks good though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Also i see that you have the steel thingies that cover the hole of the leather strap and the case, where can i get those? I have a black dialled version of the watch lost 'somewhere' in my home The 'steel thingies' to which you refer, are a machined part of the case, and not removable (other than with a grinder) I'm not sure how this corresponds to gens, but in reps, the ones sold with the strap instead of the bracelet, come with this style of case, where the ones with bracelets, rather obviously, don't have them (nor can they be fitted, again, due to the nature of their construction) Here's a pic of my Daytona from happier times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that, my case is different but i've seen gen shot that resemble mine though so not that worried anymore That clasp you have is really nice! Thanks for making the pics mate!

TeeJay Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Hmz, so i can safely say that i can forget getting those thingies ;-) How do you lose a daytona dude ;-) You must have a house that is too large then ;-) No, just a wife I lent it to her to wear for work, and put it on a white strap for her, but it's somehow found it's way down the back of a cupboard/got sucked through a wormhole as I just can't find it anywhere It'll turn up eventually, but for now, it's defied all my attempts to find it If you really want a case with that style of lugs, just go on CQout, grab the cheapest Daytona with a strap (probably less than $50) and then transplant in the dial, movement and strap from your existing watch Something else I discovered with the Daytona strap, was when using the micro adjustment on the clasp, when worn, the back edge of the clasp had a tendency to raise up slightly from the surface of the strap, constituting a snag/gouge hazard, so I modified the inside of the clasp by forcing an extra springbar into the last notch on the end of the clasp, thus holding it tight to the strap If you look closely, you can just about make it out in the photo I posted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasi Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 To spot a Fake Daytona is actually pretty easy its simply to Big, so be happy to get a small one from the Big ones out there . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
