Uses the full thickness 7750. Cool novelty watch but Daytona is much too thin for full chrono 7750.

If they used the same movement setup as the ARF Daytona’s then it might be worth it for some

this watch is a very limited production run so bumping into someone who has one is basically not possible

I just ordered one. Will review it when I get it. Thickness is a pity, but I won't be wearing it with a business shirt, so it should be ok.

Yea it’s a fun watch and should be worn as such so thickness probably won’t be a problem. Let us know when you have pics, I’m curious to see how the colors translate

I thought the same looking at that pic. I tried to find specs on the gen thickness but haven't been able to.

This is the rep from a side-angle (roughly)

Edit: There's an easy tell - the alignment of the case-back is off, it should be 'les artisans des Geneve' on this side.

Seem to be random
Top is real
Bottom is rep

Thanks for the info re case-back engraving. Here's another picture which shows it looking very thick. I guess I'll have mine in about a week or two.

Is the dial made out of Blue Suede? Looks like Alcatara on my BMW S1000RR

I got mine today. I scratched the bezel straight away. Anyway, I'm happy with it. The thickness is manageable for me. Rotor a little noisy. Excellently constructed.

A couple of cell-phone pictures, nothing like Dayeh456s though!
