You're saying if you was going to time something you'd use your watch and not your iPhone?

I know I use my watches when timing something, but I'm not a millennial. The idea of a chronograph that is almost a chronograph is well, meh.

I do like the fact that this can be a great platform for a franken.

Just meddling.

I do get that, maybe it is a millennial thing, for me a Daytona with screw down pushers don't think I'd ever use it

I don't have an iPhone...I had one but I didn't use it as a watch. For watch related things I have...well...watches :D
But I have to admit I'm no millenial too...

I never use chronos with 7750s but it is nice if someone handled it they would see the chronos work. Better than no chrono!

!!!!!50 picture of the watch bezel..guard..bracialet.. pusher.. ok good.... but the only news, the movment!??? nothing? bhàààà. LOL
For me, if the only solution to having a low-profile case of two millimeters less, is to give up the complete chronograph function, having two locked counters, it's a big stupid thing !!!
For me the only confortable configuration of the daytona fake .. is the version with valjoux real swiss 7753 sec @ 9 although it does not like anyone now because it has counters too far apart. But it will work a whole life !! or manual winding 7736swiss tricompax....for the vintage model, or more better Val 72!! obvious but whit a too high price :(

I'm still waiting for QC pics. It's been a few days already, I usually get QC from my TD next day.
I can't wait :)

I'm in the exact same boat bro :) I was just told by my td they are still experiencing bad crackdowns and raids so it's delaying things a bit.

how many people are going to wait a full minute to see if the chrono minute counter works?

the center second hand works, which is a big step up from the other slim versions.

Thanks for letting me know.
I was actually wondering if it's because of police raids.

Thank you for the awesome & honest review! As a huge Daytona fan and gen owner, I say this is a huge step forward. I can look past minor flaws, but I am just a bit hesitant on this one for myself as I would like to wait for the 116500 version. Guys, under 2 years ago all we had was a fat Daytona with a sh!tty unreliable ticking time bomb. Today look at what we have at our fingertips. Look past small flaws, and you have a great looking/feeling watch that looks to be quite reliable.

PS- ARF released the YG/rubber version, so I should hope and pray a 116500 would be on the way. The YG ceramic bezel looks a bit slimmer than the 116520, but I do not have the best eyes for this.

I'm curious why the gold on rubbber version is $478. It's not 904 steel and has a rubber strap. So your just paying extra for thickness?
