take my money. all of it.

silverbullet818 · 3 February 2016, 04:39 AM

Nice! I'd take one given the opportunity.

GB-man · 3 February 2016, 04:46 AM

No screw down pushers so it's a big fail IMHO

mps354 · 3 February 2016, 04:48 AM

Not trying to stir up the pot, however, I find it funny that if you start with a fake Rolex and add real parts it's still a fake. On the flipside, it seems as though people feel that if you start with a real Rolex and add fake parts it's still somehow real.

Hairdude1 · 3 February 2016, 09:06 AM

Yassssss

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

opaline460 · 3 February 2016, 09:20 AM

Balsquat · 3 February 2016, 09:28 AM

Love the white dial version. Would love to see a new daytona look something like this. I would like to see a screw down pushers version though.

versatile1 · 3 February 2016, 09:54 AM

Well it's like the story goes.
I will never give away Grandpas ax
I've changed the handle twice and the head once but it will always be Grandpas ax.

Take a real Rolex and change this and change that and no matter what as long as you started with a real Rolex someone will always believe it's still a real Rolex

Dashimmy · 3 February 2016, 10:49 AM

One thing I have noticed about Rolex is they don't go backwards. It's always a new and better way. Improving the next generation of that particular model. Tudor on the other hand, will throw one into retro in a New York minute!

Well the second is classed as a franken, not a fake, as it was made by the OEM.

simongpaez · 3 February 2016, 12:05 PM

I don't consider it a fake but discussion aside, it looks amazing, I also rather buy the original but it won't be $22K

Screw-down pushers have nothing to do with water resistance, they just keep you from being able to accidentally engage them, be it underwater, or otherwise.

Who would buy a faked up rolex - case ruined, dial and hands not rolex and movement no longer rolex either yet double the price - ridiculous good job Baselworld will see ceramic Daytonas almost certainly this year

GordonC · 4 February 2016, 02:04 AM

If they'd done the 6265, they could have kept the screw-down pushers.

Then you'd have a polished case, new bezel, and new dial... But for $10K premium? I don't think it's worth it.

I do love the dial, though, and wish Rolex would do a real Panda dial like this for the SS Daytona (rings don't cut it on the sub dials, they need to be solid circles).

Brian Page · 4 February 2016, 02:20 AM

6 to 8 week waiting period for this - I must confess I reached out to them... Don't think I can justify 10k premium for this mod, but it looks fantastic...
