For those of you (including me) who have purchased a CF Daytona, I thought you might like to see what's inside. I sent my 116520 to watchservicesny for a full movement service and install of a gen dial, hands and crown. Mike did a thorough job (as usual) but found the waterproofing of the tube and pushers deficient (which he fixed). Here is a series of pictures from the teardown and service of the movement.

CF and BTF are very close to the gen ... you just have to choose which flaws you can live with. I those of the CF identify them instantly :-(

What do the dial and hands cost?

Did you replace any movement parts with gen or high quality aftermarket parts? If so, which parts?

I can promise you that the printing on the CF is not identical to the gen
I just finished putting together a white dial 116500 for my wife, and we ended up using the ARF dial over the CF, mainly because of the white/blue color, and the to thin text print.
There is variations in both rep and gen. But posting several pics, from the internet, with different levels of white balance is just nonsense.
the CF dial is a pretty good dial. Is it identical to a gen, No, is it to blue in the hue, Yes. End of story

Movement service $350, including install of gen parts, waterproofing $120.

Watchmaker's description: "Retaped and waterproofed". Sorry I don't have more detail.

BRUH 120$ to waterproof a watch? On top of the service cost?
Edit: I re-read and saw that there was a problem with the tube lmao my bad

BTF is better for you? I have a clean panda now and was going to swap bezel for steel and dial for a gen white Arabic dial

Get $4,000 ready. To each their own. I just don't understand putting so much $$$ into basically a watch with no name, no brand. But again... if that floats your boat, knock yourself out. Have a party.

The owner of the watch has to read first and then put statements
I did charge him $120 for following
Install bezel, instal new tube/crown, fix the leak on the pushers (taking the out retaping thread and install them back) plus waterproof test

Where are you located in NY? If possible I could drop off a watch for service.
