Beautiful indeed, congrats. For the ARF parts, did you have to source a whole watch?

What kind of tape is that? Because regular tape will slip or penetrate if the brushing touches it.

You better ask the modder, mate. I’m just an humble owner of this beautiful piece ;)

Absolutely Beautiful build tintonsi! I have a question though, even though I know your build did not include genuine daytona bracelet, do you think a gen bracelet will still fit the noob daytona?
Looking to start a franken project myself.

Amazing build!!! Oh, btw, I believe the tape on the center link is Heat Resistant High Temperature Polyimide Kapton Tape.

Congratulations to both tinitonsi , the proud owner, and to Harleysta91 , the kick-ass modder! Cool build! Will now consider a racing dial. I initially thought it to be too busy, but it looks cool here. Take a bow, gentlemen!

Very kind! I renew the thanks that I read in the thread, it is a long and difficult job to do it in all its details, most of them I have not photographed, but with the next mod I promise that I will make better and continuous photos.
To this daytona the keys have been modified to be more fluent and many work of centering the components have not been properly documented, I promise to improve.

Thx buddy, it’s one of the best dial around there. It’s has a very cool and warm grey/beige dial. Get it if you can ;)

You’re one of the best my friend. When you become TD or official modder here (as what you’re in the real life), people will realize what I’m talking about ;)
