Clean 4130 Daytonas.

Unfortunately, my CF panda just died suddenly after 2 months . It is now checked by a watch guy. Hope the fix will not be too expensive. Did this happen to anyone and anyone has ideas about possible causes? Thanks

rafi what do you feel/see/hear when winding the crown?

If you've ever owned a chronograph style watch you would know that these "imperfections" are sooooooo minuscule on the wrist to the naked eye. IMO these imperfections are within acceptable reason. GL it for crying out loud! That's a nice watch.

Please let us know the watch smith diagnosis. Were you wearing it every day for 2 months? It shouldn't matter. I'm just curious.

yes there is an issue with this new batch of dials with the left subdial 6

And sadly once seen, cannot be unseen

Anyone have the part number for the current gen crystal? 2020 onwards I believe has AR. Can only find the older B25-295-5-V3-C1.

Winding the watch is as usual, no unusual sounds or feel. Just has no effect on bringing the watch back to life. I will tell what the watch guy diagnosis after hearing from him. Hope the fix is possible and not too expensive. For 2 months the watch worked perfectly, I wore it almost regularly and did not play with the chronographs and I know the dealer did all the QC checks before shipping. Very disappointing for such expensive and hyphed release.

Those are reps and always be reps, they will look amazing but movements are not like gen and will never be because they need work ,finishing, cleaning,oiling and too much time for testing to be like gen

No doubt, you're right

From the very first moment? did you contact the TD about it? maybe they can send you a secondary crown or give a little discount next order.

Yeah mine is completely busted, does not wind, seconds subdial stopped turning and cannot screw crown back in, just makes a grinding sound. Will have to go to watchmaker and see whats possible, as I am not sending it back to China with the risk of it getting seized. Yeah reached out to TD, will update once it gets a diagnosis from watchmaker next month. But seems I have got a lemon! Next time need to ask for video unscrewing crown as well! Shame as it is the most expensive one that has failed. GMT and sub I got before were absolutely mint!

Issues with the crown on CF 116500 is the #1 reason why I went with BTF

Thats the risk with reps, the more complications there is, the more likely it is going to fail.

Not only the Crown but also tube is too short

Noob V4 vs CF dial. Would you swap? Yes/no? Why/why not?

Hey guys, clean updated the panda. The dial colour and crown had updated.

What have they done?

I meant to finish... What have they done? Why not fix the broken bits first like the fat Subdials in particular on the 116500 black and both 116520s...

Silly.

No. Weird O in ROLEX. Wait for a better alternative.

These are the photos of v2, looks really good to me

Noob v4 dial looks pretty horrible. Those subdial rings... No bueno.

I am sure that CF is updating the white dial 116500 first because it's their best seller.
