Kuared 6263 Big Red Build

[Beeper]

I’m relatively new to the world of replica watches, but I’ve had my eye on the 6263 Big Red for quite some time. After reading through several threads, it seemed like Kuared was one of the most reputable builders in the space. I’ve come across a lot of talk about how he sends an abundance of photos (which is true), but at first, I didn’t realize these were meant to be options for me to choose from—I thought he was just showing off his inventory.

Now, I’m about to make a $5k+ purchase and am starting to second-guess my decision after reading mixed reviews about Kuared’s dials. If you could take a look at the photos below and let me know which dial you would recommend, I’d really appreciate your input.

Also, I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on whether it’s worth paying the extra $1,100 to have the Val72 movement converted.

Thanks in advance to everyone on this forum for your help, and for being so kind and knowledgeable!

There appears to be 4 dials there, as to which one to choose I've no idea. This is not the way to present items for sale to your customers, it's confusing and does not instil confidence.

I've dealt with kuared a few times and appreciate his responsiveness but yes, you often end up with a photo dump. You'll have to get specific with him in regards to dials, pictures, and comparison shots. But he will do it. Ask for them side by side etc...and then ask for pre shipment pics of whatever dial you select just to make sure it's the right one.

I've also heard mixed reviews, but I believe only regarding this dial. I've ordered other 4 digit daytona dials from him and been satisfied.

$5K for a replica build?

Considering a Valjoux 72 movement can be at minimum 3k USD then yeah 5k is the low end of a good vintage Daytona build

How does this 37mm watch wear on an average wrist size? Not too small?

I've got small wrists, so it made sense for me!

My wrist is around 7" so anything 36-40mm works very well.

I find the daytona has a lot of presence and pop (depending on dial). And generally looks solid on all but the biggest of wrists.
