video compare between gen and clean kinda cools to watch.and crystal is absolutely spotted on 🫡
A few take aways from that video …

1. Wow … these guys are good at making replicas.

2. I guess these guys are unwilling to spend the money on a crystal, because I can still see the “Blue Tint” in the Clean Factory crystal, but not in the Genuine crystal.

3. No wonder Rolex can run so many commercials, and sponsor every sporting event … their profit margins must be through the roof … i.e., if these guys can make a near like replica for $200 (?), considering they retail for $800 ish, then Rolex must be building these watches for no more than $500-$1,000 … and selling them for $12,000-$15,000 (stainless steel).
Throw out fancy buildings, overhead, advertising, etc. (which is their choice) … just consider the actual cost of making the watch.

4. How do these guys get all these genuine watches !!???
I buy every watch my AD offers me … I buy a bunch of jewelry I don’t want … and I still haven’t been offered the White Dial Daytona I want !!! Lol

Not only Rolex.there is high end designer as well.throwing 40 yrs ago noone really care about daytona.or 80yrs ago rolex available anywhere! It is all consuming and highly aftermarket collector’s empires behind the scene who silently boosting price and control them.u can see it with RM young watch brand compared to other but price on moon.the facts Rolex knows very well that but the end of road Rolex is the one whose selling tons of watches making tons of money.the most of peoples are cornered about Which watch are holding value or selling more money than enjoy the watch which is a few of it is truth collector.we are reper just along side of that river continues enjoy our rep games 🤪

This thread should be renamed "Clean 126500 Daytona eyeporn" and a disclaimer that reads "If you are undecided between the white and black dial don't open this unless you are prepared to buy both!"

The "Clean 126500 Daytona crystal dilemma" also comes to mind as a fitting alternative title... 😂

I ordered a Gen Crystal 🤪
So far, I do t think a member has a gen crystal on the white dial, only black. I’m eager to see the result on the Panda dial…

I can’t wait to get it! Install myself should be easy? Does this bezel come off the same way a 116500 would? I thought I read this in prior threads but can’t find it now.

It is the same as the 116 series. I used the stock gasket when installing my crystal. I tried using a gen but didn't like the amount of resistance I was getting. I didn't want to risk cracking this insert as there aren't replacements yet available.
