speedzmaster 0 Posted April 6, 2010 What's the difference? DW has a vintage Daytona case on the 'bay for $75, while Yuki quotes prices of over $600 for his Daytona and Tudor cases. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 996 Posted April 6, 2010 Simple, Yuki charges too much IMO. Rolex Addict will be along to comment soon and he knows a lot more than me about vintage rollies. Col. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedzmaster 0 Posted April 6, 2010 I wonder who Yuki's source is for these parts. Maybe one of the "trusted dealers" can look into this and start to offer these items at a reasonable cost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silverspeed 10 Posted April 6, 2010 Don't know if there's any difference between Yuki's parts and those from DW... but I do know that DW price for a complete vintage Daytona seems pretty reasonable I ordered a A7750 auto 6263 silver dial and asked for the correct engravings, correct bracelet with the 571 end links...total price was $238 wich doesn't sound bad imo...

Luthier 1 Posted April 6, 2010 From whom did you order? Have a picture? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KBH 7 Posted April 6, 2010 Aren't Yuki cases made in Vietnam? Kind of hand made to accept only gen parts. Vietnam has been known for years for making exact knock offs of Rolexes made from those left behind by American GI's after the VN war. DW are probably made in Hong Kong. I don't know for sure but that's my theory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vietnam has been known for years for making exact knock offs of Rolexes made from those left behind by American GI's after the VN war. That is my understanding too. There are two other manufacturers that I know of in Vietnam specializing in replacement parts for older Rolex, and all higher priced than Yuki. I'm told they make their own parts, case, dial etc. .

speedzmaster 0 Posted April 6, 2010 (edited) Sadly, of the Yuki cases that I looked at, they are not exact copies. For example: the Tudor 7031 and 9420 cases have "Units Per Hour" printed incorrectly on the bezel. And missing date cyclops on all Tudor cases. I've also read bad things about the dials too...such as the paint flaking off. Edited April 6, 2010 by speedzmaster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
