Thanks for the writing!
I wonder why dont you use Clean case if you think it’s better?

How about the gap between the bezel and the bracelet? Are both the same? I watched on youtube comparing daytona panda (he claimed to be a rolex employee) that’s one of the tell (there’s a gap between bezel and bracelet) pic attached of my mod cf datejust with gen smooth bezel (still there’s a gap) it’s a strutcural problem

Is it possible to confirm that in order to use gen pushers - the Clean V2 & V3 are unable to use gen pushers without retapping, and the BTF V2 will allow for gen pushers to be used?

Gold models is a different story, the clean case shape on gold is also different from the steel models. Don't know why. Different manufacturer?

Gen Rolex gold Daytona cases are different than than their stainless steel Daytona cases. At least it was until the new 126500 which made the case symmetrical.

This is my understanding, you need to retap a CF case to fit gen pushers

Brother we are talking about the build quality and accuracy of the rep cases.

The clean case shape is better and more accurate on the gold models than it is in their steel models.

Not talking about the bent down, flattened bottom lugs part.

It's about the accuracy. And the accuracy on replicating the gold case is better than their accuracy on replicating the steel models.

Is that better to understand now?

Why are you so defensive? Cause you got something wrong and have to act like you didn't?

You literally wrote, and I quote:

"the clean case shape on gold is also different from the steel models. Don't know why. "

You didn't say "I don't know why their gold is more accurate than steel" or "don't know why gold looks better than steel"

You said "I don't know why it looks different on gold".

I told you why - stop acting like my answer was not warranted. It's corny, you didn't know. You then googled to save face, kind of sad tbh.

Say thank you and move on. I won't respond further cause previous interactions with you including this show you're a clown and I'm not going to crap up the thread. Take care.

For a reshape CF is still the only correct option to start with.
All 3 models needs work, but might as well start with the one with most potential :)

This will still to date be my choice of dial :)




and I have had a few :)

You need a bezel removal tool (a good tool and a good skills with ceramic bezel) a press for bezel/crystal, a air-ball for remove the dust, and a strong light so see the LEC on the crystal for center it again during assembly. Don’t need to open the caseback and remove the movement.
