Bonjour,

Ou peut on se les procurer ? Cdlt

I would suggest you do lots of reading on the forum. Most of these (all) are custom (modified) models. There is nowhere to buy these ‘off the shelf’ new. You can browse the trusted dealer section of the forum to find vendors selling ‘base’ models, that will require a level of modification by a watchsmith before they resemble the ones shown in this thread. There is lots of information here on RWI, but it requires effort (on your behalf) to learn the processes, differences and standards of various models. If you want to just purchase a ‘finished’ model like the ones on show here, you will need a large budget, and to browse the member 2 member sales section to keep an eye out for a vintage daytona. There is also a (flame free) new members section elsewhere on the forum to ask questions like you have asked.
