George. 34 Posted June 19, 2014 Looks like Burlington arcade ^^ +1, I was thinking exactly the same thing!! DC Very well spotted! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StormyNight 0 Posted June 19, 2014 DC. I don't wear it because I've got an almost identical Rolex Addict modded 5512 which I actually had done to "protect" the genuine thing! The gen 5512 is becoming fairly hard to find at a sensible price, for a decent one nowadays so I don't want to damage/risk it but wearing it often. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't blame you, they are indeed a rare bird, six 5513s to every 5512 so I've heard! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hsmooth 0 Posted June 20, 2014 Here's my collection. Next on my list -- some PN daytonas, maybe a milsub, and a 1675? Wait a minute hsmooth... where did you get the gold Paul Newman? Didn't think these were repped...? Hey sorry I missed your post Ish That gold daytona is a custom build. It has mostly DW parts (case, hands). The modder originally bought that dial as advertised to be a refinished gen dial, however it's actually just a really really old rep dial -- I don't have any specific details about it though. Apparently it's from years ago. Maybe someone here will know more about it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Conex 0 Posted June 20, 2014 I have just bought a watch from TT that was added in 2006. It's on it's way, so they do have them sometimes. I guess if it's popular and not updated every other week ie version 207 etc then you could be in luck mate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Despite it being around since 2006, it still seems to be the best rep I have seen of it. Nice start to a vintagizing project. I love the simplicity of the design. A true classic, iconic design.

I am in the mind it's the original James Bond watch as Mr.Fleming wore one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
