I haven't noticed your post before, thank you for the tip!
Who would be the man to talk to about installing the CF bezel and swapping the crystal gasket in the EU?

yes man, it is brighter even in low light conditions. The installation of the bezel and the change of the gasket can be done by any trusted watchmaker.

For your reference bro,clean bezel is very very bright on stronger lights and looks very genlike,really sparkles on lights... in low light also visible id doesnt go black (on my v3 in low lights v3 went black in low lights and doesnt sparkles on stronger lights)
for fading idk will it fade overtime,i hope it wont
as you can see also this is extremly low light,almost full dark lol

OK, great, thank you! Are there different versions, do I have to pay attention to a specific detail?
Yours looks very good! Who did you send it to for installation?

I think old batches are less bright than latest batches,idk how looks intime QC pics so i cant tell you is it bright or not, i saw many simmilar QCs of trustytime so maybe can compare with mine
Nikz19 did full service,instalation of the dial,gen crystal gasket and CF bezel

Just fyi I have recently swapped the crystal gasket with the help of these guides:
How to remove and replace a Ceramic Daytona bezel. - Replica Watch Info (replica-watch.info)
Removing a SA4130 from the case and how to reset the Keyless - Replica Watch Info (replica-watch.info)
I'm not an expert, but with $30 items from Aliexpress and a lot of caution I've done it easily in 20 minutes.
Just saying, this may be also an option you could consider since the tasks are relatively simple.
Got my QC for my Daytona. Is the left hand subdial straight vertically to you guys? I think it is, had to RL one cause it was clearly not earlier so I may be a bit biased. Could use some outside opinions.
This is one of the best examples I've ever seen! And the bezel engravings seem to be improved too. I'd take it in a heartbeat...
isoltech : I'm blessed with two left hands, so I better let someone do the job...before I turn the Daytona into a Yachtmaster
Robi01 : I can't thank you enough!

Both noob with CF bezel , one with shaved ARF dial , cannot decide on both

Arf with thinner subdials,i would take noob dial bro
I agree, that’s not a good ARF dial, I would go for the Noob aswell
OK fellas, it's decided
Told ya.
CF is just way superior IN DETAILS. But the V4 is a good bezel IRL and on wrist. If you want a different dial and hands, you NEED CF. End of story. If you don't, then maybe not for you. If you change crystal, CF is a must. Basically if you give a shit, CF is superior.

Yes i guess u r right , i do own both as in the pic , the one with the ARF may be frankened with gen white APH dial and steel CF bezel
My only issue with the noob is the color of the word “daytona” which is way too shiny red and font does not have a slight 3D effect. I found a gen panda dial in Chrono24 but goes for around 5K
