Do any of you know it you could fit a ceramic bezel on the silver white gold edition?
Yes the bezels have the same inner diameter. if you are doing it yourself be careful as the ceramic cracks easily. Two things that can help - shave the outer diameter of the crystal gasket a tiny bit, and put a light coat of silicone grease on the bezel inside ring.

I’m in the same boat. I got EMS tracking from my dealer but it’s been nearly 3 weeks and there’s not so much as a pickup or sorting scan. When I asked my guy said it was likely that the courier or my parcel is in a hard lockdown area of GZ.

I found a couple parts others might be interested in. They look decent IMO. Hour and minute hand have limited use.

US $55.00 | Red Color Watch Hand Set For Daytona Watches Fit to 4130 Movement, Watch Parts

US $90.00 | vsv factory made stainsteel watch insert bezel for watch parts 116500 4130 size 38.5mm(30.5mm)
I haven't bought from this seller yet, but I have her whatsapp if anyone likes to contact her directly. I also enquired custom dials where she said MOQ is 10 which is not bad.

Mine was sent on 11th Nov - it has arrived Australia, waiting for local courier to post

My EMS tracking just went live on Nov 30th — the day that GZ came out of lockdown. I suspect that my dealer printed the shipping label, but the package never got picked up. He did say that he was locked out of his workshop. So my guess is that my package sat in his office/ workshop with a label on it for three weeks, and then when the GZ lockdown ended the local courier was able to get in to pick it up.

I ordered another watch from him on Dec 1st and he gave me QC with a few hours. So it seems that things are getting back to normal.

Does anyone know the following: the grey dial from the 116519 oyster flex model and 116509 white gold model are they meant to be the same on retail?

Could someone help answer this

Thanx!

Lovely! 😻... By the looks of it BTF factory is shaping up to be a top contender in the coveted DAYTONA 116 ref niche.
