Fantastic watch! Who did the gold plating?

Probably the nicest 6264 I’ve ever seen.
Congrats!

As a newbie to vintage Daytonas, I’m obsessed. Am I right in saying that there’s only 11 genuine watches in this reference are known to exist?

You are right, eleven known (!) examples.

I want to share with you that the watch has been sold to an excellent collector. It has been a project that was both incredibly fun and, at times, frustrating. However, due to personal reasons, I had to let it go. I’d like to share some photos I took of it as a little visual treat.

So first off kudos. Watch looks beautiful. I initially thought he had gotten the idea from me. I think i had gone to him or another modder just last week saying "cant we just gold plate a stainless version"? Lol but then i saw you have been working on this forever. So whatni understand about the current yg situation is jkf doesnt make the ygs. I didnt think wm was still around. I did find them from a factory. But i was told by someone else theres a factorh called "no name" thats better. You hear so many different things. If someone wants a yg daytona just msg me. I can point you in the direction. I was working on creating a custom dial for a watch idea i had snd i guess i stumbled across an idea of possibly getting the newman vintage lemon dial..but.... making it sized for a cureent yellow gold wrapped daytona. Im a le mans fiend. I love vintage dials. And i thought it would be really cool to do something like that. A custom lemon vintage newman inside a new yg tona. Might look bad ass.

Anybody have any tips on most affordable route for a custom dial like that? Like insaid i have some other dial ideas as well but dont have thousands to put onto it. Interested in what op spent on his.
