Add a deep and that might be a gorgeous dial. Love how it looks almost pinkish subdials there. Let us know how you feel, I think this is the first OF model of Clean's new 126x series I've seen.

yes sir, totally agree. Already have that deep xtal installation plan for this week.
Will take more sunlight/natural pix this weekend. But so far it feels superior IMO. Clean still hitting it out of the park with their daytonas : clasp (got a good click snap) bezel, case feels and looks great. I did have it aftermarket RG plated 18k with my china dealer so cant really speak on the stock RG color. But truly love the subdial on this model compared to the 116xxx

Ohhh I have this and the black dial on order with Patrick.

You have the Artisan or the Blaken variant on order? Both are slightly different.

The Artisan variant has a different bezel, blank caseback, and the subdials are stepped, more like 6263.

I kinda like the Artisan variant but the (A) symbol kinda ruins it for me, which is why I prefer the Blaken.

I like Artisan's subdials and bezel more, but Blaken's overall look fits me better.

The Black version looks okay, but I kinda dislike the bright silver subdials - which is totally out of character for a vintage inspired Daytona, it should be a matte white, not super silver subdial.

It's a great piece and totally in line with what I wanted. Slimmer 6263 style lugs with a vintage bezel style, it's very well executed.

If he releases more I will be buying more. At $720 a pop it's well worth the asking price for such a heavily customized piece. Before hand the $720 would get you only a CNC case and base watch. Add in $200 for the dial and $200 for the bezel and it's already a $1200 piece.

My silver dial is Blaken and black dial is Artisans

Is yours from Patrick?

Yep I purchased his first batch he released in his telegram a week ago. Great stuff from him to be honest. All the other "non-TD" modders quoted me $1600 for it, Laang, Hillbilly, etc lol

Damn you got yours fast. I paid for mine then too and no QC yet lol

Something cool about the Blaken is that the subdials are not actually matte, they have concentric rings. Just a cool detail to let you know.

 

[aHero]

He just told me at least one more week for QC

Patrick will always come through haha. He's ultra reliable as a modder and I wouldn't worry about him at all.... Laang on the other hand.... sigh. I know MartinLee was not the most well liked around here but he was my favorite non TD modder before his incident.

Yes, Patrick has always come through for me.

RIP Martin.

I haven’t heard from Lang in over a week on an active order despite many messages to him.
