Clean Factory Racing Dial Daytonas Release
- Thread starter 2fast4lust
- Start date
Interesting to see the blue racing dial, was not expecting this at least not this early!
Do we think 116518 version or 116503 version?
awesome dial you have there, the meteorite scarring is good.Nope. It is aftermarket steel bezel. It came from watchesparts.com.
I have two other bezels (on my Meteorite and my white Arab 116519) from them that have the numbers laser etched. On this one it is engraved.
However they seem to be out of business now.
However, the font on the bezel is not really good :/ left edge of the 4 is sharp, it shouldn't be that way.
the units per hour are also in the incorrect font, PM bezels should have shorter and stubbier fonts - very unlike Ceramics

Thanks for sharing mate!
Any idea on when these (along with the silver racing dial 116519) are going to release?

Thanks for all these sneak previews. Will Clean Release this watch with the 116523 bezel, or did you put the dial in a Gen case. Lume seems to be SL and not CL.
Regarding the watchesparts bezel I have to disagree you. For me it is very close to Gen ( besides WG color).

White dial is Gen, grey dial watchesparts.

I’m sorry I misunderstood. Is a BTF with SW dial. Not clean. I have trouble translating from my dealer.

Apologies as i did not open up the image you sent earlier and only viewed it through the attached image.
I reckon the 4s are still a tell from gen and the N in the font is still not "smudgey" enough. But hey we're really talking about zooming in the pictures to such extent for us to be able to tell, if not to really see the bezel upfront! it ought to good enough from wrist level
Overall I have to agree yes, the bezel you shared are 100% a big upgrade from the Noobs of old and current BTF ones. What a waste they are no longer in business, really good alternative
I've previously also managed to source this Clean bezel - Wayyyy before clean came out with their daytonas using the 4130 movement and the quality of the print impressed me a ton.
Credits to @SuperLory as this bezel belongs and photo was taken from him.
Ah shit, i had the the images put in wrong order. The Yellow gold bezel is @SuperLory clean bezel.
P/S i can't seem to find the edit button for editing my post - it makes me look so foolish when i typo like a drunkard.
Anyone knows where did it go to?

No need to apologize!
Discussing different opinions is what this forum is made for! Thank you very much for all your information on the bezels and new Racing dials.
Yes on the wrist these watchesparts bezels are good to go. People who can tell the difference between WG and SS will know anyway it is fake.
But I guess these people are very rare in the real world.
