Wow, this is a wonderful follow-up to your "substantial shoal of subs" post, and a wonderful way to catalogue the daytonas available and the nature of how each is repped. Thank you, thank you!

Great post [mention]p0pperini [/mention] . I bought a Noob and and an Arf but can’t bring myself to do the swaps for fear of scratching hands and breaking both movements. I’ll wait till one stops working or just not and admire your collection/ bravery instead!

As a matter of fact, yes I do. :)

It also occasionally hosts our granddaughters too - but they've got strict instructions not to mess with Popsie's watches...

Great write up, thank you for this



My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it and I look forward to seeing wristies once you've got yours.

p0pperini, how long ago did you get the gold 6263? I'd love one, but I can't find any and the word is they stopped production years ago.

It's quite possible they're no longer available. I picked mine up M2M in September last year, over on RWG.

Have you tried asking M (Marvellous Replica) if he can get it?

p0pperini I've always wanted to get started on building a Daytona reps collection and didn't quite know where to get started. Missed our on a couple of 6263 and 116520 with gen parts sales here recently, so yes, my journey is yet to start. KJ2020 made a good point about the chrono functions not being practical so I won't worry about them as well. I might try MR to get a score on the ledger though. Thanks for the huge write up!

p0pperini Great article! Beautiful pictures as well, real eye-candy!

I have a question: I would love to get the same leather strap (black with red stiching) which you have on the 116528-IVRA BP. Can you point me in the right direction for these?
