I tried on the gen in May 23 because I was lucky enough to be invited to the model launch event. I believe the rep looks marvelous - what really is striking on the gen is the very, VERY heavy weight though. That of course doesn't need to be discussed, it is part of the game. Visually the CF looks lovely!

Damn you, I now have to pull the trigger on this
It's really quite cool to be honest. You can see I tried to capture how lighting changes the color of the watch so drastically.

Those of you afraid that it's "blingy", honestly, the diamonds are so small that they look like markers from a distance.

It's quite a gorgeous watch.

It's my first Clean 126x series and I'm impressed.

Stop that
Make me

Isn't it cool how the watch changes color so drastically? I think the last picture is how it most often looks like, but in bright sunlight it becomes REALLY flashy (first picture)

It’s yummy.

I somehow have four Daytonas on order but feel like adding this before the end of the year 🥲

Debating between CF and VSF…

I haven't seen any VSF pictures but if we go by history, Clean > VSF, unless VSF is also using exact same clean parts. Wait until more people buy the VSF to see what it's like. Clean has consistently delivered on the Daytonas and so Clean is my choice for these sunburst dials.

BTW, I've checked the clasp marking, it still says 750. But it's actually a non issue because I had to use a loupe to see it lol

The subdial finishing does look better on clean

The platona never really resonated with me. But seeing you post these photos is making me feel some type of way 🤣 the dial color looks different in every photo
It really isn't for everyone, brown and blue I thought was stupid but as I hold it in hand, I can appreciate the design choice behind it. Like I said, lighting plays a big role in what it looks like, there is situations where the brown bezel becomes black, but then in some situations it becomes brown, even almost "cherry red/brown" if lighting angle is correct.

It is a bit of an attention watch though, so if you want subtlety, maybe it's not the best, but is any Daytona subtle? Hahaha

Yeah I never understood the light blue dial / brown bezel combo but everyone who’s held one says it just works. The cherry red color it brings out in certain lighting is very cool

Tbh the only thing holding me back from ordering is having to wait potentially 6 weeks for QC like you did lmao
