It took several attempts with two cameras, but here is a photo of my new SS Daytona.

crocrr · 17 September 2007, 06:17 AM

Nice....I have the same one.

Robb · 17 September 2007, 06:21 AM

Very nice!!! Congrats

Demagogue · 17 September 2007, 06:42 AM

Very nice watch - Congrats!

SPACE-DWELLER · 17 September 2007, 06:43 AM

Hmm

A "Skinny Hands" and are dial markers not moved up at 3 and 9?

What is the series? And where did you buy it?

Downing · 17 September 2007, 06:47 AM

A penny for your thoughts, Bo?

EvEr34 · 17 September 2007, 06:52 AM

about a buck for that same thought

SPACE-DWELLER · 17 September 2007, 06:58 AM

You know darned well what I think

Seadweller · 17 September 2007, 07:13 AM

Is the porsche real?

Well, I might be wrong, but time will tell.

I wasn't wrong on the "brownoysterdj" one, though.

Bo,

What do you mean by dial markers not moved up at 3 and 9?

Rob

robm · 17 September 2007, 07:23 AM

Another comment: it is actually a TT. But the section under the safety clasp is all gold, instead of have SS on either side of the gold center. I have a Z series TT Daytona, so it could just be different.

SPACE-DWELLER · 17 September 2007, 07:38 AM

WHICH is actually a TT, Rob??

I think he's talking about the above pic...it looks a little like a TT when you look at it quickly. Anyways, I thinks that what he meant.

SPACE-DWELLER · 17 September 2007, 07:45 AM

I don't see any TT in the pic. Maybe I need glasses.

I will just wait for a better pic.

walds11 · 17 September 2007, 07:51 AM

The subdials at 3 and 9 are shifted up 7 degrees. Notice how the markers at 3 and 9 don't line up exactly with the center of the subdials. That is part the the 4130 movement construction.

SPACE-DWELLER · 17 September 2007, 07:56 AM

Yup they are moved up, apparantly also on this one.

Here is a little info on it:

The subsidiary dials at 6 and 9 are "moved a little up" as they should be as compared to the predecessor, the Daytona ref. 16520.

It looks like it has "Skinny Hands"?

More about them versus "Fat hands" here: "Skinny" vs "Fat Hands". CLICK!

Well, I dunno. I just still have this gut feeling. It has got its keys and all, but where are the box and papers?

robm · 17 September 2007, 08:00 AM

I see the what you mean by the markers now.

From the picture it looks like gold links in the middle, so I thought it was a SS/Gold Daytona. It must be reflection.

Seadweller · 17 September 2007, 08:02 AM

I don't know, but I'm going to give the guy the benefit of the doubt.

Nice watch, welcome to TRF.

ohsixx · 17 September 2007, 08:02 AM

Your Porsche Key is "dated."

Yeah, I was only thinking out loud. These kinds of photos and the lack of info about the watch etc. just tends to ring my alarm bells.

So congrats from me, too

Read both quotes then look at the pic and the answers is :

.

The blurry pic clearly shows a pre 2004 Daytona. No way is it a 2007 AD new stock arrival.

The hour and minute chrono hands are not parallel to each other either.

SPACE-DWELLER · 17 September 2007, 08:28 AM

Okay, what I am confused about:

I might be wrong, but I see the socalled "Skinny Hands" Daytona on that pic.

Here more about the "Skinny Hand versus Fat Hand Daytona":

"Skinny Hands" versus "Fat Hands" Daytona. CLICK!

The "Skinny Hands" Daytona were discontinued sometime in 2004 (mid F-series).

How come your AD got a fresh "SKINNY HANDS" from 2004 in????

Welshwatchman · 17 September 2007, 08:42 AM

Bo, jinx.

I agree with the 3-9 comment on allignment.
The Zeniths were off-set.

porschedog · 17 September 2007, 09:57 AM

JR Dunn - it is brand new. Yes, Bo, it's real. So is the Porsche (996)

porschedog · 17 September 2007, 10:02 AM

Guys, this is a brand new, 2007 Rolex Daytona. I purchased it last week from JR Dunn in Lighthouse Point. Shall I post pics of the paperwork and warranty, too? Yes, they are an AD. The picture may be fuzzy, but the watch is not. I own four Rolex, all of which are real, so I have a clue. I am new to this forum, but not to Rolex. Sheeesh.

the186element · 17 September 2007, 10:07 AM

Nice watch.You can only dream about those were I'm from.
They have some,but for vip only.Dealer said you have to spend 100k a year
for a shot at one of those.Owner had a black one.Don't know whats the big deal.Other
than there hard to get.

Some day I doubt it
