I think this is the same one they had for sale at WatchesToBuy? If they're one in the same, someone posted that watch for feedback on VRF and there were some concerns.

I'm sorry, I should have clarified what the concern was. If I remember correctly there was a question as to wether the dial was correct for the serial number. I'll see if I can find it and send you the link.

Agreed. The description says it's a replacement dial. Now, I never have a problem with that, as long as it's disclosed, you like it, and the price reflects that the dial is not original to the watch. Still looks nice.

For $7700 you didn't overpay....if everything was "correct and original" it would have been $12K or more...

Vintage collecting sometimes boils down to buying what you can afford...

I don't have a Daytona 6263 Paul Newman and probably won't....but I do have an awesome Pre-Moon Speedmaster!
