Interested to hear - What's your initial thoughts having the watch on the wrist?

In all honesty, wearing it feels fantastic. The external components are of high quality, and the bracelet is silent and comfortable, comparable to my ARF oyster on my DJ41. However, there are some noted flaws:

- The unidirectional rotor is a bit loud, but a quick fix with some oil should solve that.
- The 4131 decorations are subpar; a plain, undecorated SL 4801 Movement would have sufficed.
- Crown guards could be more beefier like the genuine.
- Pushers might be slightly shorter than the genuine version.
- Lugs are subtly curved, as discussed before, but it's not very noticeable unless closely compared to genuine side-by-side pics.

There might be other issues, but overall, it looks impressive on the wrist. The mentioned concerns don't bother me much, and I'm thrilled to finally have a Daytona that doesn't appear too small. The beefier lugs on the 126500 model make a significant difference. Loving it so far.
