but the Rehaut is so damn off and missaligned. factory will never get this thing right?
What do you mean by "damn off" ? Alignment is always tricky to check on pictures, depending of the angle.
Even some gen Rollies have the rehaut not perfectly aligned..

Question about the manual winding... When I try to manually wind the watch it doesn't seem do anything, it's too smooth (doesn't seem to be catching anything) and the watch doesn't kickstart. What I do is 1) unscrew the crown, 2) turn the crown clockwise

There are no issues with the automatic winding when on the wrist.

Am I doing anything wrong?? If no, does anyone else have (experience with) this issue?

Black beauty arrived today ... I hadn't planed to buy a v1, but no regret ... I am totally impressed.

Short comparison to my 116500 BT Panda:
- as already said in this thread, the 126500 wears bigger as the 116500. I always found the 116500 a little bit to small for my liking but the 126500 fits perfect
- on the black dial it seems to me far easierer to read the time as on the Panda. On the 116500 Panda dial I usually have to look twice. I guess just an advantage of the black Daytona dial

Will check accuracy of the movement in next days and adjust as needed.
Thanks to @m5smg2 for all the pics making me want this one ;-)

Congrats. Black dial is beautiful and Clean is beautifully made.
I love the white and black dial the same. I couldn’t give up either 😎

@m5smg2 - thanks, can't agree more - qckq - do you recognize any difference of ease when reading the time between black and white dial? ... just asking as my eyes likes to know 😒 ... 🤔

I think both color dials are equally lacking in legibility with the thin, chrome hands. Always have.

When I wear a Daytona, I check the time on my phone 😂

When you say this it feels a little strange to adjust the watch running +-2 sec. per day 😅

Yeah time setting works, automatic winding works. Just the manual winding doesn't seem to work... Should be a quick fix by a watch smith?
