Daytona 116519 Grey Dial From GOLD Factory inquiry

[Temple]

First page here is the Jtime listing and some QCs, on Jtime's page it can be seen clearly.

Hmm - generally prefer to wait to see in hand pics. Be super interested to see when people have their gold tungsten Daytona’s in hand

I have my QC pics that I can share, I have approved QC, watch is already accepted and on the way (because I know it’s forbidden to ask members to check QC pics before approval ) this is mine :




IMI Watch is very very nice, I will Franken like all the parts, GF dial isn’t bad but the RB dial I’ve ordered will perfect my Franken project

RB dial I’ve ordered (QC approved) and dial on the way, just for your curiosity :

 

[Le_Connoisseur]

It’s not perfect but it’s probably the best rep for 116519LN ! Next step will be Gen dial, but at this point is too expensive … I will do with the RB dial for a time

What rep is ever perfect .

Thanks for sharing these, really helpful. Looking forward to seeing your final build once it’s done

can u share some pictures please?

When I get back in town I surely will. Might be a few weeks. A lot going on. Hopefully my QCs on page one will tide you over.

Hello !! I put some news there following my projet.
I receive the watch and the RB dial too !!!
Absolutely stunning ! The watch quality / weight / esthetic absolutely perfect !
My biggest surprise is the quality of the Gold factory dial, really really good rep !

About the RB dial, it’s absolutely stunning too, the shiny is incredible and I would like to have some real pics of 116519LN dial to compare ! Here some pics I take :

How does the case compare to the clean case? is it any good?

 

[Le_Connoisseur]

It’s tungsten case, rehaut is very good, so probably better than clean, weight more close to Gen (clean is SS case)

Rehaut is awesome for being tungsten, for the case I don't see any major issue against clean/BTF

 

[fatarms]

Rehaut is awesome for being tungsten

That was my impression as well, looks pretty good compared to other pictures I've seen of tungsten cases.

Watch will be WG platted, and fully serviced (and Franken for sure )
I will send pics of all the parts and watch next week when I have a bit of time .

Nice franken, I would try to add a gen bezel too if I where you. And if its to expensive sell the hands pushers and crown. The bezel is much more obvious of being a rep then these other parts.

 

[Le_Connoisseur]

A Gen bezel is hard to find and price are often crazy . If one day something with correct price appears, I will consider it for sure !

 

[gekkehenkie]

If you sell the hands pushers and crown you come close

 

[Le_Connoisseur]

No I will not selling any parts I get , I can add but not remove

 

[Le_Connoisseur]

Between 3000-4500$ Gen bezel : it’s a NO

 

[Le_Connoisseur]

More expensive than gold … no way
