6263 Just Arrived...

[stac]

OK...after years of looking at Daytonas I finally pulled the trigger. I went for a 6263 because I'm partial to older vintage looking watches. I'm under the impression that the movements are "bulletproof". I got the thing from Paul and the transaction went smooth as silk. He states the movement is a Nouvelle Lemanina 1874 Copy Version. Does this mean I'm the proud owner of a "knockoff" movement

Anyway... I'm gaining about a minute a day and I need to slow it down. I searched but it seems there's nothing on regulating these movements...

Cheers!

I heard these watches are not only great value for money but also very robust.

I, for one, would love to see some photos!!

Good for you, I love the vintage Daytonas.

From Paul, eh? Not a very popular dealer around here, glad to hear he took good care of you.

Some pics would be very nice.

So you have the faux chronos?

Should be faux only at the hour subdial at 6:00 as it will be slaved to the hour hand. These handwind SeaGulls-copy (or whatever) are bicompax. Josh and Andrew sell one with the needle at 6:00 frozen, but the watch is only 37mm. True to the gen size but too small for me.
