6263 Vintage Daytona

Recommended Posts

Cynikal.Mindset

So, I caved and picked one of these up on m2m sales the other day (patiently awaiting its arrival). I know this thing is small at 37mm and I damn well hope I like it on my wrist as much as I like looking at in pictures.

 

So, I ask of you fellow forum mates is to post up some wristies for me...please!

They are small but somehow manage to have a nice wrist presence.

I have a gen Sub and a 42mm Omega CrPO - would be interested to see a vintage Daytona comparison with other watches - I don't have a massive wrist but prefer the 42mm size watched - even dropping back to my gen Sub feels a tad small now so dropping further down to 37mm will indeed feel strange. Would be great to see some photos Cynikal.Mindset when you get it.

Awesome! Having never seriously looked at vintage Daytonas, I had no idea they were that compact. Also not having looked at them, I don't know any one maker's from another, but greg_r, that one looks great. What maker is it?

well I have mine now and I've been wearing it since it came in the mail and the smaller size of it does't bother me at all and I usually wear a Super Avenger! Thats a whole centimeter difference in case size (nearly half an inch for you non-metric fakahs)

 

this movement like greg said is probably the best feeling asian movement to set, chrono function and the like...its just smooth and perfect.

the paul newman is a spinmaster(so DW+), the gold is a strait dw, and big red is an el cheepo....i also have this DW. but it has been problematic from day one and is at the modders getting serviced, and they will be joined by a monte carlo 7032 shortly

I had Trk's for a short while and it def didn't feel small. It sits just right on the wrist no matter what size it is.

Hey Baxter, not seen a vintage Daytona in 39mm only 37mm. Which TD does the 39mm ones. Avoiding the dreaded Secs@6 modern models.
