freddy333 Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 Nope, its the all white dial and subdial! Same dial of the GEN that went for Half a million dollars! That's probably why it went for that because of the uniqueness of the dal! Oh that 1. Is someone making a rep version? If so, I would love to see some good, clear pics. I was not aware a rep was available.
freddy333 Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 The ammo strap really works on it...have you given it a shot on your wrist? I used to have a 1950 (& a few other Pans), but I always thought it looked silly on my 7" wrist. So I sold them all (Pans). I still think they are cool watches, just not for me.
StormTooper4 Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 Storm! That was fast! Nice! Looks good on your wrist! This today, going with the flow! I had seen a few Gen GMT11c's and really just had to get one, kind of learning that sometimes " if you snooze, you loose" in this game, so I jumped on the 2nd batch of CHS's. But given yours and Freddy's Daytona's I see that I am now Missing a white faced Daytona, or any Daytona from my collection AGGGHHHHHH Yours looks awesome on leather, is that similar to the Josh 7750 version, I am a ludite when it comes to Daytona, so why is yours different to Freddy's version?.

I still think they are cool watches, just not for me. My wrist is smaller than yours. It seems to look funny when I'm just looking at my wrist, but from farther away in a mirror, I love the look of it.
lanikai Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 Monday.... I'm starring too much at Ziggy's work whilst driving ... I cannot get over how this pexi crystal looks like water being suspended over the timepiece Tuesday... Black and Red
freddy333 Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 Monday.... I'm starring too much at Ziggy's work whilst driving ... You better stop doing that. You might have a serious accident & damage your crystal! Still wearing the 6263 Monday night Here it is next to the gen

Cats Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 Today i'm wearing the new kid on the block It will need some work but i already like the way it came out of the box. Only thing that sucks thats it's a real noisy movement. Carpe diem Cats

Hi Storm! Yup, mine is the Over-The-Shelf Joshua 7750 Version. I Just throw in a Black croc strap! Freddy's I believe is a highly modified one with probably a Zenith or (can't remember) manual wind movement! Freddy is the connoissuer of the Daytonas and had posted a lot of excellent article about it! He's the man and he actually help me decide on which one to get! He probably have half a dozen or more of the Daytonas......... Ok freddy, time for you to chime in here! BTW: If you decide to order this from Joshua, make sure to asked him to QC and regulate it for you koz the first one I got was problematic. The 2nd one he sent is perfect! Just don't wear it in water. In the kitchen or bathroom sink to wash your hands......ok!
Pix Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 Arrived this morning. Notice the quartz movement with Day + Date. From the reference on the movement it seems to be a Miyota 0510. Never seen before.
jeff g Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 Summer time in the water. Gen Seiko Black Monster. Pretty.

Well, only cause you asked But, actually, my 116520 contains the original, 1st generation A7750 with Josh's beautiful rotor swapped in. I also fit my watch with a set of gen pushers & chrono & second hands (unfortunately, the gen minute & hour hand holes were much too large to fit the 7750's pinions). You Can Build a Nearly Perfect 116520 Daytona contains most of the construction details, along with a link to the original powdered graphite post. Anyone considering a Zenith Daytona should search out Ubi's wonderful construction articles. He is The Man for 16520 frankens (not me).
TeeJay Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 I'm still wearing my 104, but swapping between the rubber strap and SS Bracelet. I've got the review written, all I need to do is get the photos taken. Everytime I plan to do them, something crops up and takes priority... For someone who doesn't really like date windows (had to re-set the datewheel today ) and prefers the base dials to those with the second sweep, I really like the 104 The dial just balances itself out, and the watch is really versatile, so great to wear with any outfit
