Also, a suggestion for new owners. Swap out the springbars in the endlinks. They’re a bit too thin and make the endlinks rattle. New fatter ones make it better and the endlinks become flushed to the case.

These Daytonas look absolutely amazing. Did someone manage to source a red seconds hand for it?

Alpha sells a set of hands for their ST19 powered paul newman daytona homage that includes a red seconds hand: http://www.alpha-watch.com/details.php?myid=1383

Cost is $18.50 per set. However, the arrow tip looks like it may be too large, and the overall length may not fit the rep case/dial.

it’s looks nice and around the same thickness of my 5 digit SD. That must be 14ish mm so no problem wearing that. Just awaiting my QC from Marv still:
More pics please. Anyone contacted a modder about some gentle aging yet?

Can you tell what color the subdial hands are? If they are silver, I might swap them out also.

I don’t have my calipers with me, NYE celebrations in Orlando. But, it seems they’re either 19 or 20mm. You will see that the ones that come with the watch are far too thin for the endlink springbars holder loops. I’m sure that the original springbars it came with are like 1.5-2 mm. The ones I added are like 2.5 or 3.

Now it’s looks tight.

Ok, happy new year everyone. Hopefully heads are not too sore.

Next question:

Best place to buy said spring bars, I’m in uk though. Ebay a good start?

Spring bars for the vintage Daytonas are 19mm. Same as the Date and Air Kings. I would think in the UK, Cousinsuk is the place to go. Gary Clark, nostalgia_2000 on ebay has some vintage DJ springbars (20mm) and I'm going to check if he has a 19mm Rolex type springbar that would work for the Date/AK/Daytonas.
Just when I think I'm all watched out, KJ finds this great deal on vintage Daytonas. That 6238 looks awfully tempting.

Thanks very much, let us know what he has.

KJ2020 Is this the exact same rep you have? https://www.trustytime02.cc/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_6&products_id=7576

I need to send a link of it somewhere so my TD knows exactly what I want. Thanks
