Vintage Daytona 6263 - my first real bargain!

Recommended Posts

cobn

Hi folks,

 

just want to share some of my pleasure with you ;)

 

i bought a vintage daytona from a member over at rwi and i still cant believe what ive got.

the sale was declared as "asian clone movement" with no further description. on first sight

it looked like a 21J, but there was no running big second hand - but the chrono didnt worked

in the first place. i dropped the seller some PMs and asked him to unscrew the pushers and

suprise suprise: the chrono worked ;) - after this was clarified, i did some research and by

reference to the dial, it seems like a Poljot 3133 movement - and of course, it is :)

sadly the ss bracelet is to short and there were no more spare links included. maybe one of

you guys has some spare links or a complete bracelet. would be awesome!

 

 

anyway, i took my chances paid this guy 110$ and 5 days later, this is what i got:

(sorry for the crappy phone pictures, they dont to this stunning watch justice)

Going to get a proper camera asap to shot some better pictures.

and of course, a new ss bracelet. if anyone got some spare flying around and dont know what to do

with it: give me a shot ;)

 

thank you for watching, hope you like it as much as i do :)

 

greetings

Looks damned good for $110. Daytonas are far too classy for a NATO though - gotta be bracelet or leather! ;)

I saw that watch and almost snatched it. Please take pictures of the movement. I like the 6263 on a NATO. Great but for sure. E

i will take a picture of the movement as soon as possible, still looking for a way to open

it up. i have a caseback opener, some kind of universal opener but it kinda sucks. now

i have to get some ducktape :D

handball or squash balls work also. A pair of Fiskas scissors can do the trick, but be VERY careful.
