Guest avitt Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Avitt -- Where have you been keeping that beautiful ticker? I have not seen it around (especially at that angle) for some time. Thanks Freddy. This one doesn't get as much wrist time as its brother (probably just a wardrobe issue), but feels just as good when it's on... More pics please. Happy to oblige...

Pugwash Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 I'm starting the weekend with a utilitarian gen, as it was what was needed, but I'll go team rep tomorrow. Oddly, no wrist shot. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy333 Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Happy to oblige... For my money, it just does not get any better than this. I know that, technically, this is a franken, but it is still the highest form of pure horological art, in every sense of the word. And for any members who are not already aware, it was Avitt's watch (along with its black-dialed brother) that inspired/prompted these I normally have no idea what watch I will wear in the future, but I think I will have to make a point of wearing this 1 tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 @Stephane: Even the gen has that single sided AR coating. The rep is spot on. I went to compare with genuine. Even the tint looks the same. Couldn't agree more.. The Ferrari range is the best range of reps probably ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 what models are they and where did you get them from may I ask? Avitt's is a model 6265 & mine are model 6239, 6263 & 6241, respectively. All are DW frankens (there are scores of threads dedicated to DW Daytonas that you can find by way of the Search tool) &, with the exception of my 6263 (which was purchased whole, but modded with gen parts), were constructed by their owners with the same base chronograph movements & many of the gen parts used in the original gen watches.

jkerouac Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 It's amazing how dramatically my choice of watches can change my look. . . . . . . . . . Actually, I just received this amazing Royal Oak Jumbo on Wednesday -- thank you, Ubi!! -- so it is almost impossible for me to even consider another watch right now. This is a slightly different perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazz Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 I cant remember exactly how that pic was done but probably would have just been couple of filters. Looking at it I would say probably the cutout filter followed by the poster edges filter? Here is the PO pic after running it through them.
