A few of my favourite things "A trio of vintage Daytonas"

The red one is from Mary; and the other two from MR (received just today - oddly enough, the customs declaration stated "birthday gift"; AND today is my birthday ... what lovely serendipity)

Sorry for the poor quality pics - a photographer I'm definitely not. These were taken with my Samsung phone (Christmas gift from daughter)

 

This watch and the other two all measure 37/15; comes with plexi-crystal; hand-wind ST19 movement; and metal bracelets with hollow center links - the lug width on these are 19 and not 20 as I had presumed.

Really love the YG version with smaller subdial numbers. Looked really gaudy with the original YG bracelet. With a leather or croc strap, it is one elegant timepiece.

And finally, with the panda dial.

 

Don't know which one I like most, AND I want more :giggle: With the ST19 hand wind movement, I can sleep better at nights.

 

For my 6.25" wrist, 37/15 is a great size.

 

BTW, I have now received four orders from four different TDs ... I want to try out most of the TDs and then decide on one or two that I will deal with on a long-term basis; which I believe most of my fellow members at doing. Thanks for the read everyone.

I actually like vintage Daytonas over new models. They look great with leather strap. Yes with ST19 you will sleep without the winders annoying noise lol. What I like is ritual of winding ST19's every morning. Have to get one off these.

Enjoy the beauties mate.

Now that I've found this lovely hobby, I've only worn the reps (subconsciously making sure that I maximize the wear time before they die - hope that isn't the case) ...and I stare the gens in the box :giggle:

Go to MR's rolex postings under TDs and you'll find them there ... I haven't gotten a real good handle on the exact model numbers yet.
