DC second time around

I've been a watch guy for 50+ years, but had never ordered a replica. In 2022 I started looking for a good Daytona 6263, but didn't have a good experience. Places advertising them often did not even respond to my queries. I bought one, only to send it back without even trying it on as the quality was so poor. I then came across DC and they had a Bamford Daytona 6263 which I drooled over. So I put in the order. I received an email with pictures of the actual watch, but there were several issue with the quality control. So I declined to accept it. Daniel organised a quick refund, no questions asked. So I thought that would be my one foray into the world of replicas.

But the itch to have a 6263 hadn't been scratched and just recently I came across the RWI website. I didn't realise that there were so many other like minded souls. So I joined and started reading up on the trusted dealers. DC immediately came into play once again. Having read the reviews I decided to give them another shot. So I contacted them and placed an order in for the same Bamford 6263.

The response time from them was excellent and the watch is now in transit to me, just 4 days after placing the order. The pictures of my watch all looked good and a significant improvement over their previous offering. So, I'm very impressed with their service and efficiency, much the same, if not better, than many authorised dealers here in Australia.

I will post a follow up with pictures when the watch arrives.

Is it actually titanium, or just sandblasted steel?
Movement is 7750?

It certainly has the darker colour of titanium, but I can't confirm either way. Yes, as far as I know it's a 7750 under the hood

You can easily tell by weight. If it feels lighter than “it should”, its titanium. If not, its steel.

Bamford didn't make them out of solid titanium. They were steel Rolex cases which were covered in titanium and then bead blasted. My guess is that mine is titanium coated
