Hello RWI Rolex Enthusiasts.
I am looking at an interesting Daytona face and realized the numbers are all upright (see picture) - does anyone know...

[wildrabbit]

[wildrabbit]

Anyone down for a group buy? Im in!!...

[wildrabbit]

Ditto! - My ideal would be in 904L with a VRF3135 movement...

[wildrabbit]

ugh. Now to find one through alternate channels....

Question of the day - Why not a 16610 Clone Production?

Right now, the factories are putting out some AMAZING Reps - but why not revisit...
