Arrived yesterday. 36 hours later, keeping time to the second. To the second! Winds much more smoothly than my other reps. This is my 6th rep and 18th watch in total, and this is the prettiest, loveliest, most awesome watch I've ever seen. Ok, ok, I probably say that every time. But this time I mean it. After 3 years waiting my in line for a gen, not sure why I bothered. If I do get one now, I'll definitely sell it.

It always makes me laugh having spent days or weeks analysing macro shots, how little you can actually see in real life :ROFLMAO: when it arrives. I can barely read the text. Although my 44 year old eyes are going rapidly blind, so there is that. Anyway, it looks epic. And of course, white all the way for the Daytona (sorry). Maybe because my darker urges are satisfied by my Speedy. But the Daytona just looks ridiculously good in white.
Congrats. Looking sweet. On the Clean 4131 I have to say both mine are running perfectly too. It’s early days, but thus far has proven stable and reliable 👍

Well said on obsessing over silly, micro details that go unnoticed in real life 😉 Just enjoy them..

Is is true this is really a 38mm watch? Atleast on GEN it seems to be the case. Also, how is everyone's Chronograph running? Do you keep it running all the time?

Interesting, good to know. Thinking about getting one of these bad boys now. I see are you running your Chrono :sneaky:
I just run the chrono in the beginning for fun. I don’t run it all the time not for reliability, but for wear n tear..

Compared my CF 126500ln to a gen 126500ln today, and CF crystal is very gen-like. Maybe 10% more cloudy, but my BTF 116500ln with deep crystal is 200% too clear and the edges are totally wrong
Great feedback and helpful. Thanks.

What color dial is yours and the gen?

Wow those are some really nice shots. Thankyou so much for such a detailed review. I am also looking to buy the Clean version of the Black Daytona. It would be great if you could recommend the dealer you picked up yours from. Thanks in advance and enjoy the beauties.
