Hi All,

Decided to take some recent pics of my vintage Daytona collection. Hope you enjoy it.

The watches are:

ref 6241 Paul Newman dial circa 1968 722 caliber

ref 6239 Gold Tropical dial circa 1969 722-1 caliber

ref 6263 circa 1980 727 caliber

ref 16520 A Series 1999 4030 caliber

My vintage Daytona Collection so far

The 'Paul Newman' next to the 'Sun King'

When I look at these watches they make me go GAGA

.

Not the biggest but I'd say one of the more unique Daytona collections

Yes my favourite Daytona on the wrist is the WG 16509 the heft makes the SS 116520 seem like a Swatch in comparison.

However the WG is more scratch prone so on weekends only. My SS 116520 is my daily wearere.
