I just don't see the reason behind the A7750, since subdials are frozen. Why not just improving the 23j? It's all marketing. I wouldn't ever pay that premium for only 904L. You can't even notice the difference, what you notice is different brushing.

Anyway, there's a saying "in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king".

P.S. some say that only the case is 904 and the bracelet is in fact 316.

If you'll send me a spare link i can test that for you. If this even matters for anybody here.

This I'm curious about. I believe @2fake4u plans on having it tested. Personally, I cannot see the difference between the 316 and 904 as has been said by others. The only real advantage is it's more corrosion resistant and a tad bit harder. It'll be interesting...definitely I'd go this route vs a 4130 clone movement (It they ever release it) if I was in the market for one.

In all my time dealing with metals i was never able to tell 304 from 316 or 904 just by looking at the thing :)) you can obviously tell copper alloys for ex. but not nickel ones.

904 has more Mo and Ni and 1%Cu so it might have a slightly diffrent color but honestly who cares.

I'm ordering daytona tomorrow.

I was thinking about getting JJF VC Overseas on bracelet but they will go for $420 - $458 and that's a watch with miyota movement and 316L. I rather spend that money on new Daytona than on JJF VC Overseas with the bracelet.

I was going to wait for ceramic but after your review I'll pop for this.
i think it would be cool if we could get spare black ceramic insert and pop the SS one and put the other or vice versa

Do you guys think there is space to shorten the rehaut about 0,2mm less?
If yes, and of course if some maker is gonna offer a no deco version of the watch(other 0,3 mm less or so),
We end having a replica wich is just 0,4 mm thicker than the gen

thank you for the great review - after your close up pictures I cant justify to spend this amount of money for a watch which still is that far away from gen..

I'm sure the TD will give you a rebate or let keep it for free if you are not satisfied. Most TDs does.

All the members who have been waiting for a 904L steel rep to come out.

Don't spread false statements regarding TDs. Unless you're willing to refund the member who believes you in case the TD does not actually do what you allege. :)

904L marketing is just bs

It's certainly marketing, just not sure it's BS (unless another member gets it tested at an independent laboratory and it comes out as another steel alloy). It's not like 904L steel comes from a single supplier who supplies exclusively to Rolex.

Thank you for the kind words :)

Wondering how the bracelet feels. Is it silky smooth feeling like the gen or same quality as the 23J one?

It's rumored that the bracelet is 316L instead of 904L. And tds are selling 904L bracelet separately..
