Vintage daytona

[PP5712]

Is there anything that needs to be modified to make it more in line with the original? I want to replace it with an original surface. Do you have any good suggestions?

That looks amazing. Where did you get it? I just did a quick search for a gen case to compare and found one that just sold for $18k+.

You’re going to have to find a really good eye to even ID it quickly, let alone call anything out. Depending on your lifestyle, the 100k pricetag might be the only thing that anyone would notice.

Long story short the cheapest replicas are ok at around 250 bucks, then modded variants go for around 600-1200, then a full blown valjoux replica goes for 4-8k.

Let's talk vintage Daytonas with TheSociety & Friends!

Ok boys, You know what it is - vintage daytonas! The love for chronographs, the love for Paul Newmans - and in many many ways - reps have fallen short of our expectations. I've learned much (though not an expert by any means) from our community here so I decided to put together a little guide...

JKF Vintage Daytonas are nice!

Hi gang, I've always liked the vintage Daytonas but many of the reps are well, not so great. Recently I discovered JKF models and I have to say I'm quite pleased. Our own TD Marvelous Replicas MReplicasupplied me with this one in a quick, flawless transaction that will have me coming back for...

Longtime lurker, first time poster. I think you misunderstood what I was saying. Probably because of my lack of paragraphs, my two points seemed like one question.

Then i wanted to show him a case I found, to compare his rep to. It happened to be for sale, so I just pointed out the crazy high price for a case.

I was just trying to compliment his watch, show him how close it looks to a gen case, and then say that the only “flaw” could be the pricetag of the gen, if it contradicts your lifestyle.

Understood. Well in the context of your post count and question I assumed you were new. Enjoy the forum brother.
