Olipro Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 (edited) I haven't actually "got" it as I'm currently out of the country, however, the person who signed for the delivery has kindly taken photos of it for me. When I actually personally get my hands on it, I'll take some (hopefully better) pics with the wrapping removed. But for now... have at it.

alphakazi Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Hey Olipro! glad you found us - very nice tona - the gold on white is... I'd have to say the best looking daytona period - if this watch came in a 45mm, I swear I'd be a hardcore rolex man best of luck with the sec@60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luthier Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 From whom did you buy it? Great watch, I'll buy TT with white face for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olipro Posted October 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 From whom did you buy it? Great watch, I'll buy TT with white face for sure! bought it from Ptswiss.com - it's a 14K with wrapped gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luthier Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 bought it from Ptswiss.com - it's a 14K with wrapped gold. Horrible website, hard to operate, no prices, only good music. But your TT is very nice, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olipro Posted October 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Horrible website, hard to operate, no prices, only good music. But your TT is very nice, anyway. haha, yeah, the website's interface is pretty unforgiving, especially if viewed from a 1024x768 laptop monitor... half the menu items are off screen, fortunately I figured out the trick to get to them. The one PT has advertised on his site also has a rather good winder on it, I'll see if I can crack the caseback on it and take a look. Just one noob question... if I do take the caseback off, will I need to do anything special to ensure it doesn't let water in? (other than screwing it on as tightly as it was before) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Fleischer Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 nice rolex. welcome. i have the same one, here with her sister! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olipro Posted October 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 nice rolex. welcome. i have the same one, here with her sister! Ah, very nice... two questions in that case: how long have you had her and is the seconds@6 still functional? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Fleischer Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 i have her almost 2 years and the watch works well. the only problem is the manual winder doesn't work. i have to keep it on the wrist. i bought it from a 'scam site' for about $1000. it may actually have a real swiss 7750, so they claim. i think its possible. i have 2 other daytonas - both had serious problems. i'm sure they are asian 7750's. one had the sec @6 dial frozen- now it works great.

AllergyDoc Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Just one noob question... if I do take the caseback off, will I need to do anything special to ensure it doesn't let water in? (other than screwing it on as tightly as it was before) Nothing, other than greasing the seal. I'm sure you know that a Daytona is a racing watch, not meant for the water. Rolexadict has found a way to make them water resistant, but I wouldn't let mine near the water. Good luck with the seconds-at-six. Mine isn't behaving very well.

Yeah, I'm not planning to take it swimming any time soon, was just checking it was OK to do nonetheless as I might occasionally run water over it, paranoid eh? I guess the Asians need to nab themselves a proper Daytona movement and clone that to get things working reliably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
