Clean 126500 Daytona review

[Bobi01]

Do you recommend I use the clean glass or do I have to put gen in it?

If you change go gen

 

[Bobi01]

Maybe

@Bobi01 & @m5smg2 are fighting virtual war with White & Black dial pics!

I was thinking the same just before I saw this post... (Goodness vs Badness?)

I say enjoy it with the stock crustal for a while. It is much improved over the so-so 11 crystal. But like @Bobi01 said, if you change it only for gen crystal.

I agree. Why spend the money on what could be marginal improvement.

You will never stop... the same thing happens to me, I say this and that's it! and when it arrives I'm already looking for another one! hahaha

It is exactly the same with me the new ine comes in and I am already looking for anoter one. The problem is that when ordering a new one I always say to myself that I will sell one, but never do… when I start thinking which ine should I sell I can’t decide

I was asking myself the same question. Is the rep Crystal just that close to the gen?

 

[m5smg2]

I can say it’s clearer with less reflections. In fact, the reflections are similar to the gen in the videos. I’m not entertaining a gen crystal on either dial. And there’s no cyclops to worry about

Maybe a dumb question, but what is the bezel construction like. Is the metal ring a part of the insert? Or is the metal ring fused to the case and the insert is pressed into the opening of the metal ring?

 

[japer]

Pressed in

 

[ombre]

Pressed in

So if you were to remove the crystal you would press the crystal out from the underside by removing the movement? This wouldn't be like removing a 116500 then? Thank you.

Great question. I’m curious too. Far as I know, previous ceramic and metal bezels were pressed together with the crystal onto the case? Maybe our @KJ2020 can say..

Id also like to know if the ceramic insert is pressed or glued in, and how the gen is constructed. Im sure our crafty modders will dissect one soon.

I used to green light Daytona's that had crooked bezel since I knew I could easily align them myself. These new ones....I'm not so sure about.
