Hi guys... While deciding to wait for a new batch of Noob Daytona with 4130, I always fell looking at 6263... and I really love it.
For me, the best one, is the first without DAYTONA text... but there is a rep of this model?

I coudl take one with DAYTONA on the dial with no problem, but wich one? I saw more than one, prices are fair and don't know much about problems on the movements installed. I read Venus 75... what is it? Chrono will work?

This is a gen for reference... and is simply GORGEOUS:

Any info will be appreciated, thanks! :)

Venus 75 is a manual wind movement, and yes the chronos all work on it. It is a well regarded movement without negative issues.

RepPossessed sells a few of these, look here under Vintage Rolexes if interested. I was thinking about one myself. He has some other Vintage models as well, The black gen he shows has 'Daytona' on it, the silver white dial one does not.

with the venus movement the second and minutes dials work, the hours do not. This is the best vintage daytona available off the shelf

other option is from another maker with a 7750 movement with full chrono functions, but the watch is seriously flawed anyway.

Thanks guys!RepPossessed

what do you think about dimensions and other things? It will be obviously a fake on my wrist due to value of the watch, but is for me, for when I look at it.
How good is it? Case is ticker than gen? Strange shape? Crappy dial or onsert/bezel?

It would shock you how many people have no idea what a real vintage Rolex would cost. A few friends have asked about mine to which I tell them it's fake and the genuine article would be worth more than my house. Much to their surprise lol I asked a couple of guys to guess and both guesses were £1500 and £2000

Just buy it a joy it for what it is, if you worry about people thinking its fake they are usually the people who may wonder if its fake even if it were genuine.

I think at the same way... I was asking for my interest, to understand how the gen is different in the shape of the case :)

The rep case is pretty accurate it’s 37mm like the gen but it’s too thick especially on the left side of the case however imo it’s not a big deal on the wrist, it has worse problems (like the dial)

Midcase is too thick, bezel is too thick, bezel numbers and letters have wrong font, chrono pushers have wrong shape, crown has wrong shape, crystal is too tall, dial has wrong subdials spacing and not so great print quality + wrong font in inscriptions... BUT it's a nice rep OOB which gets with a few mods ;)

So all posts lead to DW - Phong - Yuki, I haven’t taken the advice as I was unable to find an albino dial anywhere... So I purchased this:

no asymmetrical pushers, so purchased this:

http://replicawatchespro.co/item.php?item_id=3764&page=g&category_id=635

so I’ll swap the dial and hands, PRESTO! but, wait a minute, Asian 7750’s are notoriously unreliable, now I’m thinking about a movement swap:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/143557244947

all the subdial functions seem correct, but I’m hesitant as I don’t know if the subdial spacing is the same, will it or will it not fit my dial?

Perplexing.
