Down under
The only big difference I see really is the gold stamps underneath the case, but when it's on your wrist who cares? A great release from CF

crystal is way off makes the whole dial look strange

looks amazing, only real issue I see is they engraved the model number on the case vs stamping it. Will be behind the band so guess it doesn't really matter.

Can't wait for more CF Oysterflex Daytonas. BTF hasn't been cutting it lately

As a Rolex noob the font on the bezel looks different to me. Anyone else notice that too? Looks less crisp.

Rolex PVD deposits the gold on the whole bezel then diamond polishes the rest off to display just the numerals in it... Looks like the Gen is applied much thicker.

To elaborate the rep looks sputtered like they do on their GMT and Sub models using platinum.

How so? Crystal looks just fine to me.

Gen looks like single ar , rep looks like ghosting on the crystal. Dial etc looks different color due to the crystal.
Its not a huge difference but its there.

If they manage to rep this correctly with nice dial I am even more in. Especially since the black painted subdial hands should hide the issues with center pinion holes that are usually off in rep hands!

I try a full gold 116508 and not really my cup of tea, but this one could be the one to have and add in collection!

Hope to see some QC or real life picture's soon! I rally love this! (Whit so called PN dial would be the perfect gold sport watch to me)
