Was excited for a minute & thought you had the first 116520 QC as the thread is eagerly awaiting them :nailbiting:

But your watch looks lovely, so congrats on your order.

Trying to post links:

This is my accepted QC from Puretime!

The marker at 6 looks a little crooked and the large chrono hand might not be set exactly to 0. Did you ask for a video of it running?

It could be the angle of the photo or it could be the rep dial. Either way no sane person will notice it on your wrist.

Wear it in good health.

I see the main chrono hand off a tick too! Seen a few in that exact angle must be out minds playin trix?

AutoCAD scaled dial comparison. Rep is on the left GEN is on the right. Coronet and marker finishing and the crispness of the dial printing are always the biggest issues with rep dials.



End link fit is fixed with a leather/nato strap or a Rubber B. Things Gen owners have all day long.

2nd QC after rejecting an initial sample that had big chrono hand very far from center when being reset.

This one still not perfectly aligned. Am I nitpicking or is this the best we can get?

Hi All, recived my second QC 19 days after rejecting my first watch due to crooked coronet at 12 o'clock.
New wacth looks great, well aligned, perfect timegrapher numbers, SELs look, well, solid.

Reset position of chrono seconds hand is concerning me, it is off a click, but worth rejecting over?
How easy or difficult is this to fix?

Got a video and the large hand looks good there. The marker at 6, might be some what crooked... in 2 of the 3 pics of the dial I think i looks good. On the video its very hard to judge, as in real life i would assume.

What i am most unsure about is case thinkness, how it feels.
I got conformation that overall thickness is 12.5mm...
If am lucky and i feel the need i might pick up a new dial some time (even gen if watch runs great and case feels good).

Im also gonne run it on rubber or leather strap.

Its just my opinion friends.
I think we shouldn't ask too much of this rep.
the daytona is too complex and difficult to reproduce.
much more detail than a sub for example.
this is why the daytona reps so expensive is she is always faulty on one point or another.

Hello guys, my CLEAN 116500LN QCs. Sadly it looks like crooked markers will be an issue with these Daytonas. Mine as well looks suffering crooked markers at 6 and 9 at least and the big second hand looks a little bit misaligned. What do you guys think? I’m a too picky? I think these issue will be just fine on a 250$ rep but considering the +700$ price tag I will ask for more.

Despite that, SEL looks good to me.
