Just received QC

1) Is the crown misaligned at 12 or is it just the chrono second hand not fully reset to 12?
2) Does the bottom SELs look more recessed than the top ones?

I think its just the angle of the pics, the crown look good

This one has a deeper SEL step on one side that may translate to a shallow step up top on one side?

for what interests me, not fussy, the case looks good, i don't know respects to gen, but very good, higher push and crown than noob.
very nice panda dial, clear and precisely "clean".

black dial not good due to the exaggeratedly large sub-dials.

116520 white for me.

Yeah, but SS and PM Daytons have different shaped crown guards and cases. Upon looking closer though at SS gens, the CG's on the CF do looks pretty good, I'm just too used to looking at the Noob V4 which was not quite right.

Oyster flex and precious metal(except for 116508) has different lug and CG shape from stainless model if my understanding is correct.

I don’t think so because SEL is a single piece, not combined 3pieces into 1 as fixed link.
Gen 78590 bracelet too.

It is one piece yes, but this could translate to a lower step up top, if the machine is tooled to cut the mid or outer link to a certain depth if there is more below than up top it could mean there is less meat up top? Whatever it is, it's not quite right and is not something you would see with a genuine bracelet endlink.

Can somebosy post a photo of the side without the pushers? Thanks!

good question… it looks like it has the same wrong shape as noob. Totally wrong compared to the gen profile

not sure if it still needs the gen gasket as the noob

So my question is how will this case line up with a gen bracelet. I may do the clean install GEN hands and the gen bracelet. What are your thoughts
