Dave123 Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 Hey guys,hope alls well. Im picking this up later today... http://www.watchfinder.ca/inc/sdetail/5906/8381 Do they make a fake of this watch? What do you guys think of this dial over the standard dial,collectability over time and such...any thoughts appreciated,thanks.
cc33 Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 No reliable rep no, and gold plating sucks.. Enjoy the gen, why would you want a copy of it? It's a nice piece, it might end up being more collectible than the standard dials, who knows.. Imo the one that will be most valuable over time is the meteorite dialed versions. They are very unique and all have a slightly dif appearance. Those pn ones are cool but as far as collectibility it's anybody's guess.
freddy333 Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 Beautiful (albeit a bit loud for my tastes) watch, but not a Paul Newman (Newmans are 62xx Valjoux-powered models with exotic dials made from the early 60s until the late 80s).
Dave123 Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Posted October 29, 2012 Oh i dont want a rep,that day ended long ago,just wondering if they make them. How ya doing Freddy, That newman bit is how they describe the dial,similar to the old school ones,has that look. I know not much about the subject though. This one is apparently a limited edition....
Dave123 Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Posted October 29, 2012 "This men's Rolex Daytona watch in 18 kt yellow gold features a 40 mm case, a champagne dial with luminescent 18k yellow gold outlined hour/minute hands and hour markers, red sweeping seconds hand, black chronograph subdials with gold Arabic numerals, a fixed bezel with engraved tachymeter, and an automatic movement. Waterproof to 100 metres (330 feet). The dial on this watch is the most desirable dial of the Daytona Newman dials.".....

By-Tor Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 Hi Dave, that one would be a bit too much for me but it's a beautiful watch. Is this the rep? http://www.1-pc8838.com/rldf10006-sunset-gold-dial-asia-7750-running-secs-p-1584.html

By-Tor Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 Damn nice. But shitty pics. Send it over here and I'll photograph it properly. 1
cc33 Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 Got to love the weight and feel of a solid gold rolex, very nice.
Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 You should have stoped at a cellphone store and bought yourself a better cellphone with better camera. But ooooooohhh boy, you will be pimpin in about 15min
praetor Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) That must've weigh a ton. Get yourself a really nice camera, it's much cheaper than watches XD. Ja, I agree, there's nothing special about the dial itself. Paul newman dials refer to a special configuration of 6239 to 6265 models only, primarily defined by the squares in the subdials.

Dave123 Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Posted October 29, 2012 Got to love the weight and feel of a solid gold rolex, very nice. Not really,i took off my Bentley 6.75 and put this on. A light weight.
Dave123 Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Posted October 29, 2012 Quoted the wrong person there, meant the guy that said must weight a tonne....
Dave123 Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Posted October 29, 2012 You should have stoped at a cellphone store and bought yourself a better cellphone with better camera. But ooooooohhh boy, you will be pimpin in about 15min Galaxy s3! I don't know how to use it properly.

freddy333 Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 Check to see if your phone has a macro setting. A watch like that deserves (much) better pics. Congratulations, either way.
