I can't tell if you simply crave melodrama or there's cognitive dissonance at play here driving your interactions. If you keep poking people I'd assume you will eventually get the response you are soliciting from them. The fact I felt it necessary to comment in this thread about it makes me, myself a jackass. Infer what you like from that.

So got my dial from JJ, beautiful isn’t a word I can describe it as. Absolutely stunning 
.
Only one issue, my wife wanted to see it and she somehow managed to lose the 1 o clock and 11 o clock marker
. She touched the dial and the numbers fell off and also left a fingerprint in the dial 
.
Dear god almighty!!! Anyhow spoken to JJ and he said to send it back to him so he can have a look and see if he can fix it.
Oh well lesson learned, don’t let your wife touch the dial
.
Hopefully JJ can fix it as the dial itself isn’t cracked thank god.

No individual subdial sunbursts :/
Some pics of QF... I know not the best factory, but ok if you want some OOTB, at least there's an OOTB Arabic Dial option now that has returned if you don't want to go the custom modding route

Yup, I mean, I wouldn't buy QF, but, I understand some people have difficulty finding a modder, or don't like to mod or touch their watches and just go straight OOTB, so it's an "ok" option, but QF lacks in all the details that made BTF and Clean superior, and I've heard of issues with the pushers not fitting and being giant fails for waterproof testing

I see the clover on the dial. As a Stelvio owner I wish mine had the clover on it. Cool dial.sorry for not responding. been away for holiday & off grid. Yes, it's an Alfa Romeo dial.

As for JJ, I assume he buys blank dials (probably from China) & makes his own completed dials... he recently had his team build me a dial & during QC didn't like the blue chromalight on the hour markers & is fixing before shipping.
Solved my endlinks problem. New crystal BTF with AR removed.
Niceeee

How did you solve your endlink problem? And curious, why did you remove the AR? Was it bluish tint or something? Seems like AR would be a positive. I am definitely not a daytona expert for what it's worth. And that aventurine dial looks awesome.
Used different spring bars. Didn't quite fit perfect yet. Put very thin double sided adhesive tape inside of the springbar hole. Pushed them through. No more wobbling.
The double AR is not per Gen and takes away some of the jewelery effect of the watch IMO.
But here the problem was that my deep crystal cracked during install, so I had to put a clean crystal on. I had a BTF with scratches on the AR. So we used that now and removed the AR. it's just a matter of polishing paste / cape cod and a Dremel.
My watch maker used his tool bank to do it though.
It's makes the dial sparkle something different. Incredible

Thanks, appreciate the reply. I have an old jf daytona with bp bracelet with terrible end link wobble so looking for ideas. That totally sucks about the cracked crystal during instal. The end result came out great. Really loving that dial on the Daytona. Looks great.Used different spring bars. Didn't quite fit perfect yet. Put very thin double sided adhesive tape inside of the springbar hole. Pushed them through. No more wobbling.

Try it.
Thanks bro, aventurine dials are something else, you need to see one in real life to really grasp it. Incredible.
