Great review!
Great pics!
The "Daytona" on the white dial looks a little pinkish to me. Could be my monitor. But Ive seem that in person as well. But almost no one will ever catch that.

I remember when it was impossible to get a good Daytona. The first versions with the running seconds at 6 were modified A7750s that were prone to self destruct.

Ah yes, friend. You’re bringing me back to the early days of time bomb modded secs @6 on a chunky 15mm case.

Imagine if someone told us in the late 2000s one day we’d have a true 4130 clone, AND it would be reliable. Oh, and it will be in actual bright 904L 😁 We’ve come a long way..

The bracelet on my 126500 feels quite sharp on the edges - has anybody experienced this / any tips?

My friend, you sure it’s a Clean 126500? This Clean 12 bracelet is the best ever rep oyster bracelet. Who’s your TD?

It could also be a new batch of bracelet..maybe the edges are not as smooth as before. Let’s see if others find the same..

It is the hit or miss bro
My new batch is super soft while my old first batch is sharp… it is always hit or miss with reps

I did a lot but I cant find what is the best factory making the model that I'm looking for, I have mixed information here
Another spoon feeding in bound...

QF is the only one that makes it - but imho it's bad. If you want to ask why it's bad - research harder.

Clean doesnt make the 126506 Platona.

So either get the QF or wait.
