tonton2000 Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 God how exciting is it when the parcel you've been waiting for all day gets delivered!? This particular one had something a bit special inside.......
tonyp1 Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 How much did you pay? Please give info on this movement.
tonton2000 Posted January 17, 2007 Author Report Posted January 17, 2007 How much did you pay? Please give info on this movement. Alot! But its worth it in my eyes. The movement is a Zenith El Primero Cal 400 with an original Rolex Daytona Rotor. Arrived just after having a complete service. It's a franken?? Looks excellent. Yeah. MBW Case Rep Bracelet Gen Clasp Redial on a Gen Base Zenith ELP Cal 400 with a gen rolex rotor. All put together by Riverwindmds
lionsandtigers Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 like i just said in my other reply, there are actual tears in my eyes, congrats, where it well!!!!! i am now officially on a mission
Pugwash Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 Zenith ELP Cal 400 with a gen rolex rotor. The rotor is where you beat Ubi. Of course he wins overall because he has two ...
tonton2000 Posted January 17, 2007 Author Report Posted January 17, 2007 The rotor is where you beat Ubi. Of course he wins overall because he has two ... I think Ubi wins anyway, because im sure he could get the rotor AND bridge if he wanted, AND he has 2!
Pugwash Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 I think Ubi wins anyway, because im sure he could get the rotor AND bridge if he wanted, AND he has 2! Well, yeah, he wins because he's Ubi, basically. Still, I'm exceedingly jealous and in awe of the 'Tona. Con-bloody-grats, mate.
Guest RiverwindMDS Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 Also the movement looks so original with the rotor and the gold colour gears
alligoat Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 That is one awesome watch! Bee-U-Tee-Full. Those shots of the movement are great. I guess you're beating Rolex at their own game. Wear it well and enjoy.
ubiquitous Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 Yes, the rotor is a lovely touch... I have had more than a few opportunities to get both the bridge and the rotor (combined and a la carte), but it's hard for me to justify the cost on something I'd see only very rarely. Regardless... It's a nice finishing touch to a fantatsic piece!! Enjoy your new lovely tonton!! In my book, it's a keeper!
HauteHippie Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 The rotor is where you beat Ubi. Of course he wins overall because he has two ... Ubi's utilize gen cases, bracelets, dials (not redials), hands, etc. too. Nevertheless THIS is a great watch.
Pre V Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 Fantastic piece!! I feel the 'Tona fever coming on strong... Enjoy!!!
elprimerozen Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 STOP!!!!!!!! All these daytona watch are not FRANKEN WATCHES the correct name is UBIQUITOUS WATCHES!
jfreeman420 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 I am definately jealous. Congrats on the ultimate rep. Although of course I would prefer a solid gold case and bracelet. Still searching for my holy grail, :sigh:.
Guest RiverwindMDS Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 I am definately jealous. Congrats on the ultimate rep. Although of course I would prefer a solid gold case and bracelet. Still searching for my holy grail, :sigh:. Two tone is a bit simpler to find but the full gold I think is really difficolt and expensive, but I had a frind that told me he knows someone who can make any rolex case in full gold. I can ask for you if you want.
jfreeman420 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 Wow, I would appreciate that. Thanks. I think I would get a yachtmaster done first it would be easier to put together. Let me know.
Guest RiverwindMDS Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 Wow, I would appreciate that. Thanks. I think I would get a yachtmaster done first it would be easier to put together. Let me know. No problem, If you find the movement I think I can make all the watch done for you. Send me a pm with what you want exactly and I'll let you know if I found out something. How much do you want to pay?
Falco Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 That's a beautiful daytona, wow nice work.
Tribal Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 Fantastic watch, and i think i know where it come from
