How do you think about this SELs?
For me not so bad bro
The black dial is my favourite looks like will have to wait for a better version.

Perfect bro,this one is one of the best… is this yours?
Thanks for your opinion.
I felt same as you, not so bad.
Physically it is almost flush condition, I can feel my nails get caught on the lug edge very very slightly but I guess Gen has more bigger steps.
I worry about left top and bottom SELs in your QC, I suspect these are not well recessed because it looks very similar to mine.
I hope yours have appropriate condition on SEL.
Thanks!
Yes mine but condition is same as my first photo, it is back to not bended spring bar.
I haven't touched the Gen daytona for a long time, so I don't know the correct SEL steps.
As far as I can see the Gen photos, I think mine doesn’t have enough steps.
This is with bended spring bar.
I can feel step increased very slightly on my nails.

This old thread explains how good sels should be. Maybe it's me, but reading it doesn't seem like CF Daytona has good sels

CF is too small to behave this rude. They made worse dials then Noob V1. I hope they will be raided next.
I think Daytona has different SELs fitment than 116610 Submariner.
116610 has bigger step than Daytona.

I didn't read the whole thread but if you're referring to the 1st post in that thread it's relevant for 116610 but not for daytonas. Different Rolex models have different SEL recessions. Just look at the latest 126610 they are basically flush so let's compare what's comparable.
And that's how it's supposed to be. There is less recession on Daytonas. Here's a pic of my gen 116520, as you can see there's just a little recession and the SEL is also shorter than the lug so that there is some recession all along. From the pics it looks to me like CF did a good job

Are you really saying that you wish folks at CF to get their business hit and potentially spend some time in a Chinese prison because you don't like the dial? This is just appalling

Thanks, I understood how Daytona SEL should be.
Which do you think about better?
116520 is Noob

Some time in prison can really clear up mind. Everybody should try it.

Try and put noob bracelet and let us know how the fitment looks then
Oh I forgot post this.
SEL gap become tighter, SEL recession is well aligned and step slightly bigger than with AF bracelet.
It became very similar looking to Noob condition.
I feel it is not bad.

Looks amazing. What about movement? How does the printing looks like to you compared to your noob? Does it looks rusty needing to be service at arrival? Is the rotor loud?
