That is a stunning creation JD. I love the Daytona with the gen SS bezel over the ceramic for sure. It goes perfectly with the polished mid links on the bracelet. Would love to see this in M2M one day! Damn this is nice!

Beautiful work!!
Back in the 90's when I had a gen of this watch it was a favorite, but I never really thought of it as anything special and sold it.
Now, I can not see myself paying for a Gen given the collectors prices these days for the Zenith Daytona and would look at this as a keeper alternative - this is Fantastico - you are an Artist.

This watch is unbelievable !!
You must have spent a lot of time on this watch but the result is well worth it.
Superb work
(If you're ever gonna sell it, I'm a huge fan.)
