the latest dials look even better. The Daytona lettering seems to me to be positioned in the right place.
Is getting the chrono hand sorted an easy fix? Like I say, I have a watchsmith local to me who does rep work. But only ever used him for swapping out bezel inserts etc - never anything mechanical.

Haha sure, I got used to lead times of 3-4 weeks, no issue. Just checking the tracking 10 times as day after all those magnificent QC posted here, i cant wait
gonna get it serviced though. I actually thought about learning how to service but I guess the 4130 is not an easy one to start.Hello. Some days ago I saw on this forum that ARF release a new update version of daytona.
Now I don’t fine the thread.
is guys better the clean or the ARF Daytona ? Please could you link here the ARF thread ?
thanks

Don't like how the ceramic bezel doesn't have a SS edge, received a Bakelite bezel from Phong for when C gets the sub dials correct.
Didnt know Phong did bakelite bezels for modern Daytonas, only really knew him for the vintage parts. Please post pics once you get it installed!
I’m in a dilemma. Help!
Received QC’s, looks acceptable. Couple of very minor alignments off but good enough. Amplitude seems a little low at 275 and it’s -6 slow…. Am I expecting to much…. Hoping amp above 290 and +\- 4 . Have purchased 4 other reps with those parameters including a Noob v4.

I wouldn't put too much stock into what the QC timegraph shows. In order to really assess what kind of normal amplitude your watch is running at, you need a full wind on the mainspring and then amplitude measured in different positions. I doubt any of the dealers do any more than a couple of shakes to get the watch running from rotor oscillation to demonstrate that the watch is working.

Amplitude is a little low but could be they haven't wound up the watch enough. Ask your TD to wind it up more and redo the test
for accuracy, COSC certified watches run at -4/+6s / day so yes you're expecting too much from a rep
