Gotcha. Pushers looked a little different in those pics. Please post yours when you receive which I hope is this week, finally [emoji57]

It will not be this week, Sir.

Hey all. Great to be back home and see familiar faces (avatars) hehe.

As some of you know, I’ve always been obsessed with the Daytona pushers, even on the excellent ARF 904L. Ive owned gen Daytonas over the years and no rep has ever got the pushers correct. This was always a loud tell for me—they wrongly point straight out at 2 & 4. I’ve pointed it out to Angus, and in this thread and other threads, that a true 1:1 (except tiny thickness) ARF needs the pushers repositioned closer the crown guards, and a steeper angle like gen. I was confident because ARF indeed listened to us and corrected the rehaut height with the 116500 launch (and updated 116520 starting same time).

Finally, during our beloved forum’s “remodeling” downtime, ARF listened yet again and redid the case, not only positioning the pushers closer to the crown guards, but at the correct angle like the gen. I’ve borrowed a couple of members’ photos from the latest ARF batch. Have a look see:

Is there a comparison between V1 and V2? I can’t understand what version I got...

Haha. I literally thought the same, put it down to old age and my eyesight! I take it it's a very very minor change / difference

Sure please post a pic.

TheDonSL the “gold” model cases still have the old pushers. I hope they update that case next, and launch the white gold bracelet models too

I could care less about the pushers, but I’m not anal about Rolex. For me it’s an office watch. Weekends are for play and that’s AP all the way in more ways that one lol
