Cant be overstated just how amazing the power reserve on this watch is. I don’t wear it for days, put it back on and it’s still keeping perfect time.

…someone know or can check if clean corrected the serial engraving between lugs with correct 116520 code?

Mine is the v3 and the case does not have the correct code. It says 116500

Tuesday 20, I think one of the best feature of Daytona(s) in general is that they don't have a date
Valid also for all chronographs w/o date.

Nice build! I was planning also to remove the rehaut branding. But i have a CL Dial. So i wonder if it would be period correct ot have a non rehaut case with Chromalight!?

Finally, is there also the wrong 116500 case engraving as you have the V3 from Clean?

It’s wrong for your CL dial buddy

Mine have “520” but i know that sometimes these case can have “500”

Hi All, in march 2022 I bought a 116520 white dial clean factory. I actually do not remember if my version is v2 or v3. Is there anyone that can explain me when has been released the V3? Many thanks!

For the clean v3 - is difference in subdial materials visible vs gen? (Assume it’s SS vs WG which I think is quite visible). How do people feel about it?
plan to purchase one - prefer black but for the above reason leaning towards Panda where subdials are at least black…
thanks!

Subdials on 116520 models are quite different to 116500, even gen wise, the 116520 were a bit more dull (depending on year of production), on 116500 are shinier. So it depends on the build you are after, in my opinion if you get a 116520 you might want change the dial to gen if you can, if you on the other hand get a 116500 you can even keep rep dial, even better with white dial as you said as they are black so not very noticeable compared to gen.

In my experience, I have a 116520 with gen dial and compared to rep it’s a big difference.

Anyone know about these flanks on the top of the lugs on recent clean batches?

Bothering me a lot and wanted to know if anyone tried polishing it down?

Unfortunately I didn't QC hard and have the same batch issue. There's no good way to resolve this, just sell it on with the disclosed issue at a discount and buy a new one. Or source a new 116500 case (they come up around sometimes) and live with the wrong engraving.

I heard a guy on reddit had it polished down by a jeweller, never got pics of results. dont think this would work?

No, I don't think it would work sir. Because you need to add material not remove it. Compare to original, this "flat" part should actually be curved.

Removing and polishing it would remove the case shape of the lugs, so you made a small problem into a huge problem.
