Daytona 50th Anniversary Blue Face. WOW!!

[1675Fanboy]

Well, Stan is the MAN!! First time I've ventured into the replica world on-line and like many I was dubious about how it might work out but all I can say is WBK is definitely a trustworthy chap. Due to being new I had to pay via MoneyGram which was a major pain in the arse to set-up as my bank didn't like it due to the nature of fraudsters etc liking the service but once I spoke with them I eventually got my payment to Stan sorted out. I cannot believe how quickly Stan got my watch delivered, here's the timeline...

- Ordered and paid on Saturday around 8.00 am
- Stan collected payment and dropped watch to USPS same day.
- It arrived at my local UK postal depot Monday night but the cretins decided to not deliver it Tuesday or Wednesday.
- Wednesday at 11.00 am I collected it from the depot.

Now for the watch....

Considering this is a rep of a $50,000 watch and it cost me $215 (including $50 of postage costs) I cannot and do not have any serious complaints. Yes, if you look close enough and I mean in minute detail under a torch light you can find flaws, but in comparison to the Omega rep I bought on holiday this year the Daytona is a far superior rep.

- The lume isn't great at all, barely visible but hey it's only a $165 watch!
- The underside of the clasp is a bit messy as you can see where the recess for your nail to lift it up has been filed by hand; but hey it's only a $165 watch! I can polish this myself.
- A couple of the removable link pins poke out from the links, but hey it's only a $165 watch! I can file these down.

- Yes, the 6 o'clock sub dial isn't sweeping and indexes in it's movement but I'd rather have this due to it being the Seiko quartz movement over an inferior unreliable Asian automatic movement, I want this watch to last a year or 5!!

In short, I will buy from Stan again as he is easy to deal with and sells a great product.

Thanks WBK!!!

Have you tried using Tapatalk on your phone? I use it to post my pictures. You don't have to mess around playing with sizes (The upload tool on the forum itself doesn't work, you need to use an external image hosting site like photobucket or imgur).

With Tapatalk you just upload a pic to your posts with the click or maybe 2-3 buttons? You can even take the pics from in the post, you don't have to have taken them beforehand. Tapatalk app is free and SO easy to use! Check it out, I'd recommend it!

Still loving the Daytona, one further observation on the sub dials. The 3 o'clock one runs permanently rather than staying sat at '12' and running when the chrono starts. On the gen this dial is the minute counter for the chrono. No big deal but worth a mention...

Just ordered the same watch. I would love to hear an update? Still going good?

Still working perfectly, no problems. Hope you like yours [emoji3]

Good to hear. Have you modified it in anyway yet? Polish, file etc?

Not yet, I was being picky in my review and the minor flaws really don't bother me. I bought it because I like the look of it and not because I want to convince someone I've got $50k strapped to my wrist. Anyone who knows about this model is going to spot it's a copy very quickly and those who don't know the model will just think it's another Rolex.

Very true! I love the look of the watch, it is very eye catching!

I think it would take more than a watch to convince somebody that it is worth $50k.

Does the main chorno start and reset?

Thanks for this. Great education on the Quartz movement versus automatic. I do like this. May have to order one!

This is such a funny watch because in your photos the bezel looks black, not choice brown. Im sure it is just the light?
