WCM21_88 Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 They're decent, as I am no expert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Sorry, those are not Newmans. Just standard 62xx Daytonas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 They look good but the plating kills them for me. Plating = wear through on sharp edges, clasp cap etc in short order. Replica watch plating is usually thinner than on genuine watches. Also has FACS FACS = fat ass crown syndrome It looks thick as a brick to me...but my name ain't Jethro T. Anybody seen my aqualung?

Dlf Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 For the money, these look great to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rek001 Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I've been wanting a vintage gold Daytona for a long time, and I just don't trust DW. I agree the crown seems a bit thick. But the price is refreshingly good, and the Venus manual wind movement is great. What else do the experts have to say, is this worth buying?

WCM21_88 Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Agreed on the FACS haha like I said they're "a little" better then the past Cartel versions but same little flaws e.i. crown, stubby pushers, sharp edges, etc.. But again, they are "reps". If DW wasn't such a gamble I know I've seen a gold 6263 of his on here somewhere, very nice piece, but as stated not to shabby for the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 If you want a gold Daytona, it's worth a try. We all know Josh's pics aren't that good so hopefully the watch looks better in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Ditto alligoat (as usual). The Venus movements are generally very reliable (not sure about the Asian copy though?), but will likely need an overhaul (rep watches rarely contain new or properly serviced (used) movements). Replace the crown/tube with gens &, possibly, if you are especially enterprising, also the dial coronet & you have a nice looking gem........at least until the gold wears off revealing the underlying steel. By the way, these are Newman dials - 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rek001 Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 I'll wait for the PN black dial, that is gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preacher62 Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 The real ones are anywhere from $15K to $30K on eBay. How many of these do your really ever see in the wild? Who wants a watch that is supposed to be a $25K piece but one of the subdials is glued down. This is why a workable franken 'tona is so $$$$$$$.

cousin_hub Posted June 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Hum some SS Paul Newman are much more pricy. So it's not a real deal http://www.premiumwatch.fr/1042-rolex-6264-montre-occasion-vintage-rolex-daytona-achat-vente-occasion-a-vendre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be the deal of the century! Prices generally run in the $50k-$250k range, with Newmans sitting near the top of that range.
