Stock. Three days in, still running to the second. I know it doesn't really mean anything, but I have gens costing a lot more that don't keep time as well as this.

Did I mention how pretty it was? :ROFLMAO:
And about the feels when you hands between Gen nd CF, are there any differences?

Has anyone tried comparing it with the newly released VSF version? yes, the movement is different but functioning the same though. The price gap is quite substantial......

from what I could observe and read, in my opinion... the best white dial is the CF without a doubt, the best black dial is BTF because it does not have the numbers of the sub-dials close to the edges, but well centered, I also seemed to see in the sub-dials also a certain soleil effect like on the gen, something not present in the clean. also on the movement there is a very good SH4131 against a DD4131 of which we have high expectations, but of which we still do not know much... I, personally, wanting a black dial will wait for further comparisons and developments. but in the case of the white I would immediately go with CF
I am also waiting for the black dial.

Still trying to find which has the best black dial.

But doenst BTF have thicker subdials? (except for that it looks good)

Addtionally , can you explain little more about soleil effet on subdial of BT.

Lastly, am I the only one who is seeing some mottled visual on subdial for clean’ black dial? I am only seeing these cleans’ sub dial.

Can somebody who owns one of these new 12-series Daytonas confirm the lug spacing? Is it 20mm or 21mm?

I believe this is the first time I read of a CF 126500 that fails QC. CF has done an amazing job with this model. But there is a first time for everything...

Yeah, I thought that too but it’s definitely crooked and warranted a reject. Hopefully the replacement will be ok

Please post a QC pic of marker. Curious how off it is. Thanks
