I don't have a pic, but I tried on a "For Display Only" black dial 126500LN at my local AD earlier today. That was the hardest time I've ever had NOT spending $22,400.00 AUD. Especially at that price. F#CK me it's nice in the flesh.

A worthy rep will be out sometime in 2024, I think.

Unfortunately, there are no rep friendly watchmakers in AUS that I can find, and neither of our RWI AUS-based techs work on the Chrono movements. In the event of a movement failure, I'd have to send OS. Risk of loss or damage in transit. 😔

Non issue IMO. Unless the watch is heavily custom/modified, just buy a new one if the original poops out. But if the movement for the 12 series Daytona reps is as solid as the DD4130, then there’s even less to worry about. You can buy twenty Daytona reps for the cost of a gen.
