Hi gang,

I've always liked the vintage Daytonas but many of the reps are well, not so great. Recently I discovered JKF models and I have to say I'm quite pleased.

Our own TD Marvelous Replicas MReplicasupplied me with this one in a quick, flawless transaction that will have me coming back for more. The best part is this rep cost a very affordable $200 and has the wonderful reliable hand wind chrono ST19 movement aka Venus 75. The one I got this time is a pre-Daytona chronograph. I absolutely love this piece! The bracelet fits the watch head well and is not very rattly at all and the clasp has smoothed corners, wow! This is the first rep in a long time that I'm not going to have to do ANYTHING to it but wear it. Holy cow!

Here's a link to the Marvelous Replica post about these great reps. Be sure to click on 'More images' in the image link to see them all.

There are more of these to see at NON TD TSWATCH.

Some are A7750, which are 1mm thicker. I recommend the hand wind ST19s. The 6 o'clock subdial is frozen (no bleeding). I could do with at least two or three more of these!

Is this a marvel of beauty or what?

I’ve been wanting one of these for the longest time. George Lazenby’s watch in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. Guess I’m emailing MR now thanks to you!

I have a silver dial 6240 oyster model with screw down pushers, and the plain pusher 6239 is on my to-buy list - so this is a nice reminder to get on to M and order one. Thanks KJ!

it’s just a shame that the manual wind (as you mention - no bleed) version doesn’t appear to be available from JKF in the “classic” Newman Daytona configuration - cream dial, red/black outer track, stainless bezel.

Sorry for the lazy noob-like question, but are these also way too thick or were gens also like this? I like the first one in MRs pics, the one with the subdials on the edges of the dial, I've never seen one of these before.

The 7750s were thick, you want to look for the hand wind models with "Venus" movement. With the OP's link above it shows all the vintage Daytonas TS Watch has for sale, just make sure to click JKF high grade.

haha - I found it about an hour ago thanks to your earlier link to TSWatches, and was just exchanging emails with M to order one (plus another 1680...)! :D

Can’t wait for mine to arrive to do some modding to make it look like George’s.
