Have you ever think about paint mod Noob bezel instead? The arf bezel is always missalight

The issue on the Noob bezel is not the color of the numbers but the width (at least the width) of the numbers. They are too thin compared to the gen and to ARF. So paint mod is not likely to help.

I've got the watch back and I've had a chance to take some proper photos on this cold rainy day. Sit back and enjoy!

This Daytona has been slimmed to 12.3mm, and has been waterproof tested to 10atm!

how can you reach 12.3? I'd like to know what gasket/crystal u are using. Mine is 12.4 using shaved arf gasket/arf crystal, and 12.5 using gen gasket/arf crystal.
Gen Daytona should be 12.2. Ok I know we are talking about 1 or 2 mm … I'm just curious to know
Anyway, amazing job!

How much would it cost to install a dial in a rep in the USA by a watch smith? Like an average?

Look awesome with the arf dial and bezel in the mood.

I want a Daytona now but not sure if Toro will source the bezel and dial for me.

Has anyone else had any luck with other TD's that will get just the dial and bezel.

May also get the prof xtal as I seen a video on YouTube but not sure how much it will cost

Planning on doing the same thing with mine. Located in SoCal and would like to stay local.

Can normal watch smith do this type of job or do you have to reach out to an RWI watch smith?

misiekped I had an RWI watchsmith do it. Shaving the dial is tough work and there is a risk of cracking the bezel too. I recommend misiekped

Hey mate, could you share pics of your finished watch? Would love to see the results and in particular the SELs. Thanks :)
