Maybe buy the diamond version with correct hand is good idea?

I did consider this although the dial looks really washed out and too pale in some of the pics I've seen, which to me is a bigger put-off than the hands on this. I do really like that version though and I will keep my eye out for it in future :giggle:

Good job, Khaos, as always. As I have gotten older, I have really become lazy. The Daytona is the perfect watch for me these days because I don't have to set the date lol. Since I have so many watches in rotation, all of my annual Calendars take a back seat to others for that reason. Gotta love a stack of Daytona hahahha

Thank you mate! Not having to set the date all the time is certainly a big convenience for me too! Plus It wears perfectly for my smaller wrists :giggle:

You juist can't go wrong with a Daytona, there's one for every occasion 😂

Btw how do u like the dial’s color compare to gen? And the weight?

Dial colour is great, although I feel gen has more turquoise hints in it, this is more a silver/blue colour.

As for the weight, I haven't weighed it myself but I imagine its around 150 ish? Similar to other steel daytonas like the 116500.

Of course weight is an instant tell for all precious metal Daytonas and I don't see this changing any time soon, unless the rumours of the tungsten alloy reps are to be believed

Thanks for the post friend! great work! Have you thought of making youtube videos too about the clones?

Thank you mate and oh god no 😂 No-one will want to listen to my incoherent rambling about watches trust me 😂 Plus I am not nearly knowledgeable enough for something like that!
