Beautiful pair !

Are the cases different size / profile (as per gen) ?

Would you mind posting a picture of the side profile ?

One is a steel case, the other one a white gold, the difference are in the end lugs white gold model is different of steel one
First steel

Had just finished my last franken build, have franken the movement with
Gen mainspring
Gen anchor
Gen auto wind module
Gen hairspring with of course the bridge
Gen case movement screws, really much better than the noob one
Gen setting level

To regulate the hair spring really easy with the good tool

For the anchor a good moebius

To have made a complete service of the movement with the rolex servicing book, I could say that this movement is really awesome, well built by noob, expect parts I have changed by gen, all rest of movement parts are really good, no need to change more.

Oil I have used, not the 5 that rolex used but 4 of them
D5
9010
8000
9415

The rest is quite classic for a franken, expect for the dial
Gen slim hands all
Gen gaskets all of them
Gen crystal
Case shaved on lugs and left side,
Arf claps and ceramic bezel
Band brushed to gen and pushers too
Aftermarket black rainbow dial with gems saphirs index hours

You have stunning Daytona builds. Top notch.
Always nice to read from your moddings on the Daytona and see the pics.

Everyone want to hear some good news just as they finish their 116500 builds?

Rolex changed the crystal on the ceramic daytonas :D

From 2019, they use the b25-7000-2-c1. Don't ask me the difference, I haven't seen it, but a fellow enthusiast got me doing some research (damn you Tschacko :D)

Stunning! really love the 116519 panda dial
Did you do anything to your sel? Mine also has arf bracelt mounted but it is flushed with the lugs not recessed like yours.
Also it is about the same length with the end of the lug.

Yours looks great.

Thanks

Wow that is stunning
