+1, aventurine is different than any other dial material, even differs in visual and enjoyment factors from the beloved meteorite
IRL consideration is a must

BTF 116509 base? Fuck I might build this one next or the metal bezel platona
Solved my endlinks problem. New crystal BTF with AR removed.
Niceeee
Nope, cf base
Movement was fucked, endlinks were wobbling and fucked, deep crystal cracked when we installed it because clean (as usual) have their own measurements and the bezel came off
All fixed, all good now.
I have my clean 116520 for the next project. Also problems with the endlinks, also problems with the pushers not being oiled and staying stuck.
It's the last clean watch I will buy. Seriously. I'll stick to btf as I said before, but I got a good deal on both so I said fuck it.
You end up paying with lost time and more money sinking into them lol

That's actually the underside of the crystal reflecting the aventurine effect.Hands could use some cleaning
Bezel looks like it's cracked above 240 mark?
See here
Same watch, same hands

Probably my favorite arabic daytona... the arabic bezel makes it. Now I don't even want a Arabic Platona or any more arabic dial watches... the grey is fucking gorgeous

I have the same setup (skipped the YG crown/pushers) but on bracelet. Looks good on Oysterflex.

This is the only Arabic dial I like.
I agree. The grey is sick.

Its very coherently designed I think. The design elements all work together. I got it on Oysterflex because I want to grab a grey leather band to complete it. The PCLs would make it too flashy.
I think it's the only good matte grey dial watch. The gold arabic markers balance it out nd break up the monotonous look of the grey. Often arabic markers are too busy but it works well with the grey.
And yeah I opted for steel pushers because the gold pushers and crown is too much.
Has anyone built a rose gold 116505 meteorite dial? - seen a few tungsten examples but haven’t seen great reports of them. I know JJ has the dials, but hasn’t seen any real life builds.
