If you posted earlier, I could have helped you. I had a '99 Two
tone sub with blue dial that I just traded for a new S/S Daytona
with black face. Of course I had to put out a bit of cash too.

Check on http://www.watchnet.com/
I have dealt with Shaun Bozorg, he is a very reputable seller.
I am next on the list at my local dealer for a stainless Daytona. Ill sell it for $9200.
You can find them for $9000-9500 all day long... Or just buy a couple of new Rolexs and your dealer will put you in line for one.
Id get one soon, there is price increase coming in Feb.

Hey bro, i have an Omega Seamaster professional automatic doesn't require winding but im guessing your watch is different. When servicing a Rolex keep in mind , it usually doesn't cost less than $500 and you "will not" see the watch for 6-8 months even on simple issues. Stores will not work on them they have to be sent over seas at times. Omega has service here in usa and cost's a couple hundred for basic service.

Just from my experience.

Yeah, I miss my SS Sub. and will probably be in the market for another one, maybe 2-tone with blue or the silver dial with diamonds and sapphires. I currently own a 2-tone Breitling Chronomat GT and love the crap out of it.

I have a Rapport Perpetua Duo winder (double) and is the best of I've ever owned. I used to have one of the cheaper Steinhausens but they are no match for the quality of the Rapports. The Rapports are not cheap though but like twain said, you get what you pay for. You can actually find the Rapports on ebay right now but they are being sold out of the country and could run you $5-600 bucks for a nice one. You guys need to check out the F1 model in Carbon, that thing is bad-a$$...
