The Devil Is In The Details... Daytona WG

Recommended Posts

GC

First off I would like to thank Robert @ PrestigeWatchCo. for a superb transaction and a phenomenal timepiece. I am absolutely blown away, floored, gobsmacked and speechless by how beautiful this Daytona with sec @6 really is.

 

Robert, you really out did yourself, thank you!

 

On to the pics...

Very nice indeed!

 

I'm thinking that I will have to get me one of these at some point... :)

 

Just to check, should the 9 dial be pointing at 12??

I hate you. Not only do you taunt me with your photographic talent. You make it impossible for me to choose between equally filthy wrist porn.

Yes, it's a P&S Canon SD1000 (only cost $150), I'm too cheap to invest in an expensive camera because that money could go towards a watch instead!

Holy smokes. Your detail macro is stunning on this one. Really looks like a stunning piece. It's really my favorite Daytona dial set-ups. The Black and Red are just spectacular together.

 

Are you considering the graphite treatment for this one?

Oke, I may have just found my new camera. I had a brief play with one of these last week and was impressed with it's macro shots and that just seals the deal IMO.

 

Hmm, No longer available, what replaced it?

This model was followed by the SD1100, SD1200 & SD1300 and now the latest is the SD1400.

ebzen, trust me when I tell ya... get yourself one! The flaws are so minimal

it's scary, and in truth apart from us, who would notice? Also remember these

photos are serious macro shots, everything looks huge, on the wrist it looks phenomenal.

It took forever, but I found a pic of the gen Daytona where you can see the height of the crystal.

No difference that I can see from the rep.

Of the two dial variations, the white dial with red contrast is the more striking, the red tends to get lost on the black dial, on a highly magnified photo it looks OK, but on the wrist it gets lost :lol:
