Nice colour combo. Is the case at least gen spec in measurement for crystal and bezel?

Only if they manage the right thickness, it would be a really fun watch to wear but no. Let's put a bulky and unreliable movement in there

Agreed. Its too bulky on the wrist. If you have skinny wrists like me theres only so much the CB can 'sink' into your wrist. For the fatties, sorry bigger, gentleman its not much of an issue :) I love my Nembo Daytonas, they look perfect on the wrist and I couldn't care less about working subdials, etc.

LOL, exactly!

I used to try to press mine into my wrist to make it look authentic...

Exactly my thoughts too...I have skinny wrist...about 6-6.25" wrist depends on the weather...I love Nembo Daytona. Used to have 3 but sold them all. Didn't like the calendar functions on the sub-dials...But besides that, if you could manage to change the crystal + crown on Nembo's that would be very nice.

The watch looks nice, unfortunately for the daytona reps, the weakness isn't in their look, it's in their movement.

There are rumors of brand new movements being in the pipeline, essentially clones of the gen daytona movement. So, the new line of daytonas will sell like hot cakes: slim case, good movement.. price will probably be around the $400 mark given the trends we've seen so far though.

I will buy several if this happens. Everything else is great on these except for thickness and sometimes clasp/markings.

I can't see any real differences in what I bought from Trevor over 18 months ago. I have a 7.5" wrist so thickness isn't a problem. The sundial and sundial sun bursts are pretty spectacular. Great Summer watch. I love the look. I have a good plating system and would love to Rhodium coat this case and bracelet. Sadly even with gen Daytonas the bracelet specifically the clasp is the weak point as its so thin.



What shall we have? An '82 Margaux! Is it any good? Good....?, It will make you believe in God!

A new movement in these would really make them sell like hot cakes as already the overall quality from JF is quite high.
