Just got a new phone with better camera than last shots I put up, so thought I would share this beauty with you... yes it's a fantasy model, and not showy, but great dress watch, included is a picture of the watch its based on which I believe sold for $1.2 Million... so out of reach of most here I guess. but like it. don't mind the display back, why not.

And while Im here, some pics of my Pulp Fiction watch. took me 3 years to find 2 donor watches to create exact same watch as in movie, involved a lot of work by a great watchmaker.

That is a beautiful piece. I've got the similar one that is not quite as fantasy but still a bit too large.

Can I ask where you bought it, its not as fantasy as mine, and love it... and size is perfect for me.

Sure any dealer can get it. I use Marvellous Replica. Added bonus is that he has all the vintage daytona/predaytonas for $200. Hard to beat that. It has the same ST-19 movement that your current watch does. The 6pm is frozen just like it is on speedmaster reps.

It comes in white too, several different models of predaytona have been repped.

Just emailed him, and got super quick reply, Ill see if I can find out range, Im getting into these vintage style things, think makes the rep business more honest if you know what I mean, don't mind having a rep/homage of watch thats very rare and super expensive, but hate having reps of watches that are easy bought. As a collector of both gen and rep, makes me feel better..lol
