Just got closer pictures of the coronet and it looks fine.
But my main concern in the original QC was the letter "O" in ROLEX and figure I'll ask for closer shots of the area and see the coronet and the "O'" at the same time.
It seems to be missing paint on the inside and the bottom of the letter is shaped weird. Everything else on the watch is great except that "O" which is on the most important line of the watch.
What are you building? Mind sharing?I know and I don’t mind that either.
I’m going to use this watch for a fantasy build. I’m still deciding if I should change the mid case to a steel shaped 116500 one.
I will make my decision on that once the watch arrives.
I'm not building anything crazy. Just a simple silver dial Daytona with a ceramic bezel.
I always like the look of the 116519 because of the ceramic bezel but I'm not a fan of the rubber straps.
When I saw member qualityazn post his steel bracelet, silver dial, ceramic bezel Daytona in the Daytona Appreciation thread, I knew I got to make one just like it.
I will most likely get the watch serviced once it arrives so I was thinking of changing it to a 116500 case at the same time to save on cost.
Hahaha, I have a picture of your watch on my phone and I periodically look at.
I'm guessing you have the steel shape case because the lugs asymmetrical.
Hello,
do you know by chance if the daytona noob 116519 4130 V3 is released? It seems so.

I received this beautiful daytona today and I love it already!
However the sprinbar at 6 o'clock is bended and needs to be replaced. I have tried to change it with 116500's ones but the lugholes of the 116509 bracelets are smaller. Any recommendations on the springbars I should use / buy ?
Thanks
There is such a big difference between the gen dial and the noob factory dial. The “R” in Rolex looks horrible on the noob dial. And the writing on the noob dial is so squished together. Instant tell imho. Also on the racing dial some of the second markers are missing on noob compared to gen. If you look at the seconds markers around some numbers they are not there. Pointed a couple spots out in the pic. Gen is on right.
So unless you want to swap out the dial. I would stay away from most of these until they fix it. Especially for the $688 price tag.
