Guest Sql_pl Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 Always nice to see some nice watches worn in real life, some pics for you guys! Bateman seems to be wearing his all the time!
lhooq Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 Wow, it looks tiny on Ruud Gullit! Sarah Jessica Parker: Beautiful watch. Is it an Omega? Daniel Craig: No, Roleeks.
freddy333 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 Sometimes, I am hesitant to wear my Newmans because I feel they may look out-of-place in anything but a formal environment. But, on Patrese's wrist, the 6239 looks as natural as a well-worn pair of old jeans.

Personally, I wouldn't dream of wearing a chrono as a formal watch, so I'm really surprized that you would say that, considering all the other elegant watches in your collection
Guest Sql_pl Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 Wonder if they are all authentic? I guess we will never know, funny thing is - my V72 6263 came from... Hollywood

What I mean was that due to the perceived value of a Newman Daytona (a good percentage of the people I come into contact with have a good idea of the general rarity/value of these watches), I generally only wear them to more high brow establishments. But, after seeing this pic, I think I need to rethink that (a bit).

I figured that you were referring to the perceived value of the watch, rather than the aesthetics, it's just having seen the other really nice watches you have, like the Mystery and the Patek, I was surprised you would consider a chrono for 'formal wear'
geoanthem Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 I ordered one from Spinmaster. he shipped it a couple weeks ago, hoping it gets here soon.
Dizzy Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 A couple of the watches in those pics look like they might be on a wider 20mm oyster. I;ve seen some apparent NOS 7836 bracelets that come with 19mm endlinks. Was that actually an option back in the 70's? I would LOVE to toss this skinny little bracelet on my 6263 and put on a 20mm rivet bracelet with 19mm endlinks. I put one on it before and it looked really good, but it looks a lot different than the skinny 19mm bracelet. Anyone know if a 20mm bracelet with 19mm endlinks was actually an option from the AD? dizz
wat44 Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 are there any standard dealer vintage daytonas that ok?
jmb Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 Dizzy: I've done that with a rep bracelet, couldn't tell a whole lot of difference...
lhooq Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 are there any standard dealer vintage daytonas that ok? None of the cartel vintage Daytonas has asymmetric pushers. All of them get key dimensions wrong, and these are less subtle than you might think. I find that a too-thick bezel or a too-shallow crystal is much more noticeable than subdials that are <0.5mm off. Considering an unmodded 6263/7750 from DW sells for well under $200, I don't see why you would consider anything else.
wat44 Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 I thought quartz or 21j to get away from 7750 probs - where do I see an ad for the DW, thanks!
lhooq Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 I thought quartz or 21j to get away from 7750 probs - where do I see an ad for the DW, thanks! DW now has his own section on RWG. There's an ad for his more expensive (and excellent) 6239/7750, but you should contact him and ask how much he's selling his 6263s for these days.
Ephry73 Posted July 28, 2011 Report Posted July 28, 2011 Does anyone know which rep daytona case(Paul Newman) would take a gen 7750 or 72 movement? E
Ronin Posted July 28, 2011 Report Posted July 28, 2011 Is it me, or does Jean Alesi's subdial spacing look off. 7750?
lhooq Posted July 28, 2011 Report Posted July 28, 2011 Is it me, or does Jean Alesi's subdial spacing look off. 7750? Kumiko bought it for him from Honpo! It looks OK to me.
