He's a member here with that name. Haven't dealt with him personally but you can't be a regular here without hearing from him, directly or indirectly. Italian modder/watchsmith as I recall. Wellspring of knowledge and one of the many people who really add something to this place.

Please have a look on the 9 marker stick, which don’t seem to be very aligned (but it might be the shot angle)

You could be right or it could be the angle. Honestly most rep dials are not that good. Rolex in particular. Rolex uses white gold for the hands and markers. The printing, finish on the crown @ 12, markers, etc. simply can't be replicated at this price point.

I intend to modify the watch once I get it with a Gen panda racing dial, Gen hands and a Gen crown.

This is the inspiration for the build. Someone on the Rolex forums years ago modified a gen 116520. Even the Rolex purists didn't seem to mind.


I have the dial and hands. Just waiting on the watch.

tacitly, I am hoping, from the first day of announcement of the new daytona cleans, to release this one. for me the most beautiful daytona in existence, but with SS bezel

Congrats!

I think like many rep Daytona dials, the subdial numbers are in the wrong position, it is not exactly centered on the subdial, it sits just a bit lower. Just look at 60 with a gen dial and you should be able to see what I mean.

Thanks for the comparison. This CF release definitely has a lot for itself!
