Clean Factory Racing Dial Daytonas Release

[Frank Martin]

Is this a 116519? Can’t seem to find a photo of the gen online.

Just saw this come up on my dealers postings and damn do they look fine. A very good v1! Even the bezel has the correct 4 font and units per hour font! (Non ceramic font!)

Markers, subdial, fonts and hands looks pretty much on point with the gen 116509!

Big moves clean, big move.

I can’t seem to find a photo of a gen (this exact model) online.

116519 - Slate Racing Dial. It was made for a few years. Not sure when it started & ended.

Does anyone know when the slate grey 116509 come out? - Rolex Forums - Rolex Watch Forum

It's actually called the Slate Arabic dial. Introduced in 2008 and last produced in 2016. There's some good info in the link above. But I don't think there were any dial variations with the 4 & 6 second markers. They were always present in the gen. CF missed it unfortunately.

I still don’t understand what u guys are talking about . This is a gen dial

 

[michaelle1193]

Ok know i got it. Oh yes hell. They missed it))

Typical the "not so clean" factory....

We all know what strategy this is. Clean aka zzf always makes a V1 with a small error first, and then sells an updated version.

Agree. I will buy the dial and bezel only for the next time )

 

[mmaggi]

Not sure if CF will update. I hope they do. But if this reference doesn't sell they won't make the effort to fix it. I'm hoping BTF makes one.

I definitely need a good rep version of this dial for the 4130 LOL . Sorry everyone, I feel like the guy who pissed in the punch bowl now. Truly, I want the Daytona Slate Arabic Racing dial to work out. When I first saw this on PureTime, I got super excited until I compared the dials. Now I can't un-see the issue. As mentioned, it only came in for the 18 WG version but did come in a leather strap or matching WG sports bracelet. The silver dial in gen seems to be known for the black of the hour markers coming off and onto the dial. Strange.

I hope someone comes out with a good 4130 version.

I texted TheOneWatches and the replier laughed when I suggested they say something to CF. LOL! Well... unless you ask, you will never know. I would think CF would like to know of such an error. He replied that they will try. Whatever.

It shouldn't be surprising that they'd laughed at you, even some here would laugh at you for that

Really? Not the first time someone on a replica watch message board contacted a TD pointing out the fault of a dial asking that they contact the factory to correct it.

But if you prefer to put your head between your legs and hope & pray on a change, knock yourself out. Again, it costs nothing to ask and the worst they could say is "NO".

 

[Frank Martin]

I agree and their is strength in numbers.

I don't believe it was ever sold with a rubber strap. All sales I've seen were with a leather strap.

You did not read me clearly, what you should actually focus on about what I said it is that it should not surprise you if they laugh at you about this because they probably did this error on purpose, it is like all those guy that can't understand how and why they can't get some supposed to be "easy to fix" flaws fixed

I don't believe it was ever sold with a rubber strap. All sales I've seen were with a leather strap.

The Oysterflex was introduced in 2015 on a Yacht-Master and the Slate Grey was discontinued around that year too as they introduced the blue dial in 2016 but I could be wrong

 

[edlorpi]

Straps shouldn't matter, I think. As long as the clasp and lug adapter are the same. People customize their straps or change out all the time.
