I mean I saw the SEL (solid end link) n I am confused. (Sorry I am not good with vintage pieces) .. Nice photos btw! Thanks for sharing! HAGWE .. Jen


Here is a pic of the patent pending clasp:



A link to an original 1971 on Andrew Shear's website as well:

I'm not sure where it looks different.

This is what I'd buy, it's on my wish list. That and a white gold DD with a stick dial. I like white gold because it is so low key and flies under the radar.

I like this pic so much i decided to use it as the begin screen picture of my new iPhone 6. After installing it i was looking at the picture i was looking at for a long time on the previous phone. With the new picture on it i feel like a new phone as well.

Doesn't that looks great

I love the Daytona, but I already have one. Given the choice, I'd pick up a Day Date to compliment my sport watch.
