watcher Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 What do you guys think about these. They Look quite good I think apart from the wrong colour Subdial hands on the black dial model. I've altered one of his pics(hope you don't mind me stealing the pic for demo purposes!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Hmmmm... Nice flat bezel and shallow rehaut. Looks great in my opinion. Dial could be a little better, but my first draw of attention was to the hard parts- The dial is easily replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasng Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Unfortunately the movment in this watch is awful, the pic on joshua's site shows an older style Asia 7750 movement in the back, which is double the pain, the daytona movement is unreliable on the new Asia 7750 and even more unreliable on the older movement.

By-Tor Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 I'm not a huge fan of gold watches in general. But Daytona is one of those watches that looks much better in all-gold than TT. I'm quite surprised, even myself, but I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2005SUBMARINER Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 i like JOSH'S daytona & he told me him self that the gold plating is very thick on this model ! dont know about the 7750 though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted July 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 THe movement is the problem but my early asia Daytona at 6 has been great for a long time now. It is lick of the draw though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfreeman420 Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 too bad the bezel isnt the one on the new gold daytonas. the dials on these look cheesy also. i woud love a good mop version but the one on his site screams fake. maybe the next version will be better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 too bad the bezel isnt the one on the new gold daytonas. What makes you think the bezel is wrong? Here's a gen 116528... Looks like the standard bezel to me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onezero Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 What makes you think the bezel is wrong? Here's a gen 116528... Looks like the standard bezel to me.... I thought gold daytonas (white or yellow) had a bezel that had small triangles instead of notches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 I thought gold daytonas (white or yellow) had a bezel that had small triangles instead of notches I guess since a picture of a genuine isn't enough to convince you guys... 116509's and 116519's come with the 'arrowhead' tachymeter bezels. The 116520's, 116523's and 116528's come with the standard tachy bezels. For reference, you can have a look at: http://www.rolex.com/en/ Click on: -Collections ^Oyster Professional ^Cosmograph Daytona You can arrow through a number of different models available; the combinations I note above are displayed as described.

halley Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Gold color seems way off...but it may be because of the balance of the picture? Dial is off also, but with a gen dial you may have a winner, God eyes on the rehaut & flat bezel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertk Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Actually, Joshua's is verrrrry close to the Gen. compare the pic's on the rolex site with his side by side. .......and even with a few flaws, no one is going to notice. It's a beauty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guesswho Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 in common with some of the people on here, i've never liked all gold watches. however, the pics of these daytonas may be beginnning to change my mind. i can't help but think i'll look like a pimp with one on though.

rek001 Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Beautiful watches, and an endorsement from Trusty as well. I'd love one but I'm not a gold type, I'm afraid if I get one I won't wear it much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasi Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 I have one of Jos's new gold daytonas and can only tell you TOP of the Line Watch havy and solid feeling much better as everything i have in FG befor . Gretz Kasi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahchard Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 mmm... nice... if only it came in a better movement... I got a SS daytona from Josh some time ago... but it does not get much wrist time as there is no date... can't get used to it... thinking i might as well sell the SS and get a FG daytona in the future and only wear it occasionally as a dress watch (don't need to worry about the date then...)

I've altered one of his pics(hope you don't mind me stealing the pic for demo purposes!) the subdial hands are the correct color. its pretty much spot on as far as the dial and such goes. i like it. i know it is plated but no more than i would ware it i imagine it would last me for years. i'm not very rough on a dress watch.
