Yes you must wind it manualy and it is not safe to fully wind 7750 every few days...just find watchsmith and tell him to remove deco plate and put 7750 rotor,no need to be gen rotor... and tell him (this is important) to put 2 movement clamps tabs when he removes deco plate,one clamp must imitate removed deco plate and second one to hold movement..take this advices and show him

What’s your impressions on this man? I’ve been waiting to pull the trigger on this beauty for a while now but haven’t. I’m worried about the gold plating but it obviously won’t be a daily beater.

Thanks for you comment,
This is my first gold plated from BK and it seems amazing. I will wear it for a couple weeks and see how it holds up. It has been a lot of fun to wear and it’s a true head turner :) here are a few more pics with different angles and lighting.

ARF Daytona, slimmed to 12.8mm and rotor silenced.

My thoughts are it’s a very nice looking rep and feels pretty good quality.

The bezel engravings are a little dull in some lighting and could be improved which is strange as my ARF Sub bezel insert is amazing.

The movement has caused me issues and completely stopped after a week. I had it fixed but noticed the other day that the chrono hand advanced 20 seconds without any pushers being operated. Bit weird but luckily it reset ok.

Wears a tiny bit small for my taste but could get used to it as it really is a good looking piece.

Gets lots of attention if you like that stuff (I don’t).

Is that the standard ARF bezel, or have you done some mods to it?
