korporate Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 (edited) A friend of mine picked this up a few days ago. I don't think it is a gen but I'm not sure. I need help with any tell tale signs. All 3 sub dials work, the crown is screw down, i can tell it is an automatic but the second hand is not compleatly smooth. Definiatly not as chopy as my Corum rep that is jap movment. Any help would be greatly apreciated. Also the band is stamed 18k if that helps at all. I forgot to take a pic of it but the band is the old style with the screws in the end links. If someone can tell me how to open the back I will take pics of the guts if that will help. Thaks for any help! Robbie Edited April 22, 2006 by korporate
Pugwash Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 I don't think it is a gen but I'm not sure. I need help with any tell tale signs. Three subdials. Which one is the second hand? None of them? Then it's not a gen, or even a good rep. The 9-o-clock is showing the day? The 6 is showing the date? These are all signs that this is a cheap rep. Oh, and the hologram? 116610 is a Submariner.
rtsking2 Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 It's a rep, real daytona doesn't have day of week on left sub dial, word daytona over 6o'clock dial should be red . Sub dial spacing looks good, does the seconds run at the 6 o'clock position? To open you really need the tool or its going to get sratches! Not a bad looking piece...
rtsking2 Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 man, I need specs! didn't even notice holo #s
korporate Posted April 22, 2006 Author Report Posted April 22, 2006 the 9 does show the day, the 6 shows 24 hour, the 3 shows the day of the month. i figured it was a rep, was just hoping that it was a good one that i could get serviced!
rtsking2 Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 depends on who you use. I've found old korean guy through RWG (in NYC) and he works on all reps and is pretty damn cheap!!
Pugwash Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 i figured it was a rep, was just hoping that it was a good one that i could get serviced! I'd not bother. The big deal about the Daytona is that it's a stopwatch, and this one doesn't do that. The main second hand shouldn't be going around and that's a dead giveaway from 6 feet. The fact that this is a rep of a $10,000 watch needs considering too.
slay Posted April 23, 2006 Report Posted April 23, 2006 its about the cheapest daytona rep you can get but at least it has SEL endlinks
Ethan Posted April 23, 2006 Report Posted April 23, 2006 I've actually never seen one this bad before...
korporate Posted April 23, 2006 Author Report Posted April 23, 2006 Well thats a crack head special from San Francisco! My friend actually got a real platinum one with a diamond bezel a few years back off a crack head for $30! so he'll pick them up all the time now, just in case!

LOL
Esmarc Posted April 24, 2006 Report Posted April 24, 2006 A platinum daytona for $30? Makes me want to start selling crack, I could have got that thing for a 20 sack!
korporate Posted April 24, 2006 Author Report Posted April 24, 2006 No joke! My friend get cool stuff all the time. Random [censored] too. He got a hd projector for $50 a few months ago, set of golf club for 15 a few weeks back.
CY0811 Posted April 24, 2006 Report Posted April 24, 2006 explain the whole genuine platinum Daytona for $30 one more time....thanks
korporate Posted April 24, 2006 Author Report Posted April 24, 2006 It wasnt a Daytona. To be honest I can't remeber which model it was. He wore it my wedding a few months back, but I had a few other things on my mind that day! So basicly it works like this, crackheads, tweekers, junkies or whatever will "find" stuff and try to sell it on the street around my work. 85% is junk but you can deffinitly come up on some great buys. I work at a strip club, so while the area that io work in is not the nicest of neighborhoods, dumb drunk buisnessmen come to my club and park their $80000 cars on the street so that they will save the $10 that the parking guy will charge. I think that the dope fiends "find" most of these items around cars like these! Someone "found" a laptop and a cd book full of cds in myt car a few years back!
