stac Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corgi Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 I heard these watches are not only great value for money but also very robust. I, for one, would love to see some photos!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rek001 Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllergyDoc Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 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.
