I’ve just managed to bag one of the last Daytona 6241s built by DW:


With a nice history, given its rarity and it having been a wedding day watch!

When it’s safely made its way across the pond to me, I’ll update my own Daytona photo thread, as I’ve managed to accumulate 3 VN vintage exotic dial models since I originally posted.
7750A o Mistery??

I can’t be sure - and I’m not even sure whether I’ll be able to tell once it arrives (I’ll have to re-read this thread for further clues!) - but given it’s a late one, fingers crossed it won’t be the original mystery movement.

The very first DWs (2010/2011) mounted Mistery and had a 37.2/3 diameter case and were and are highly sought after ,then switched to mount 7750A and clearly changed the case which had a larger diameter , and then vanished into thin air..........

tbh: it seems to be a standard JKF Daytona? Subdial spacing wrong, all fonts wrong, bezel is too fat, and completely wrong font. What irritates me most is the symmetric pusher layout. jKF normally has the correct asymmetric layout. You can change everything, dial bezel etc. and replace with vietnam parts. But the pusher layout can‘t be changed. The winding crown looks massive for a 6239

Do you know how I can get Vietnam dial?
Mate, have you read the thread you are posting in? Especially this thread is full of informations about getting parts. But it is important to get a best possible basic watch. Yours doesn´t unfortunately belong in this category. You are in a rep forum, you can get all infos you need with cruisin around in this forum.
