Yeah, it's probably just due to the blurred pic. I just seemed to see those characteristic THIN hands, and I couldn't figure out why a Daytona with those hands should pop up in 2007 from an AD.

I am not saying it is not real! Just telling what I am seeing on the pic (Skinny Hands).

unclesallie · 17 September 2007, 10:54 AM

ouch...i hope you guys are being careful. am not technically astute, but somebody paid a whole lotta bread for that watch!

jasonbellevue · 17 September 2007, 11:08 AM

The S/S Daytona is a beautiful watch. Congratulations and welcome to TRF!

SSD · 17 September 2007, 11:29 AM

Welcome to TRF! Congradulations on a beautiful watch!

Rawhyde · 17 September 2007, 11:29 AM

Welcome aboard Porschedog! Great looking watch! I've wanted a Daytona for a long time, but it'll be a long time until I can get one.

roadcarver · 17 September 2007, 03:14 PM

Porschedog,

Congrats on the new Daytona. You're one of the few priviledged people to own such coveted watch.

You should set your camera to macro mode to prevent the outcome of the shot to be sharp and if possible use a tripod to prevent camera shape. My old Olympus C3000Z has that function, your Olympus should have it too.

Nice Porsche! I have a poor man's Porsche LOL (as you can see on my avatar). What colour is your Porsche?

Welcome to TRF!

Regards,

Vernon

Hi porschdog,

I am waiting for a call from my AD on an SS. Is that a Z and have you got some close ups?

Eddie.

ROGU808 · 17 September 2007, 06:52 PM

Great looking watch Porschedog!!!
Wear it in good health!!!

BTW: Which Porsche do you drive??
I have a 05 C4...thinking about getting a new C2....
What do you think??

Lol-x · 17 September 2007, 07:03 PM

Don't waste water, wash your car and your watch at the same time

P.S. Nice Daytonaaaaa

SPACE-DWELLER · 17 September 2007, 08:21 PM

The Daytona is such a nice watch!

I look forward to have a closer look of the dial and hands

HDHNTER · 17 September 2007, 09:18 PM

That SS Daytona sure does look like a TT Daytona or my vision is not what it used to be, lol.

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.
CLICK HERE TO READ/SEE THE DIFFERENCE

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?

I'm still learning here so let's see if I get this correctly fat hands should be on recent daytona's i.e. D and Z serial #. Sorry for the newbie question i'm just curious.

SPACE-DWELLER · 17 September 2007, 11:30 PM

Yes, that is right, Mike: Fat hands on the new ones (or on any since mid 2004).

kcmo · 18 September 2007, 12:54 AM

Simply gorgeous daytona! I'm lusting after the white dial myself!

joekim13 · 18 September 2007, 02:27 AM

what a tough crowd...

welcome and congrats on your daytona

ohsixx · 18 September 2007, 02:35 AM

Very beautiful. Congrats!

Welshwatchman · 18 September 2007, 04:03 AM

Since we have had more than our fair share of $10 Rolex watches posted recently I think that certain members (including me) seek to authenticate the watch before congratulations are forthcoming.

This may seem a little mean but there is a world of difference in my attitude to the fakes as opposed to the originals.

This watch may well be an original beauty that looks out of shape due to a completely unflattering photograph. The seemingly thin hands and non-parallel sub dials may be a trick of the same photograph or hosting site resize.

Look forward to some decent pictures soon.

SPACE-DWELLER · 18 September 2007, 04:09 AM

Welcome to the forum, I agree with the others about the comments of the pic.

But I must add... nice composition, I liked the 'makeup' of the photo.

Others asked if the watch was a TT, but I'm adding... is the Porsche a TT? What color?

txrob779 · 18 September 2007, 05:47 AM

I can't read German, Dutch or whatever that is, I just look at the pictures. LOL
