Think sunlight really brings out the real beauty of the watch. In normal lighting it looks like any other blue dial.

Enjoy bro

The problem with being a degenerate is that I got this, love it, and I already started searching for next Daytona build. It never ends and I need rehab.

Who makes that prototype white dial? Are these all reps?

Custom. I have it on order.

Are they currently in production or looking for NOS?

From what I understand SW, Buff and JJ are doing Beach dials, but haven’t seen a correct example so far.

Did a thread on it here https://forum.replica-watch.info/th...each-build-help.10998406/page-6#post-12184009

Bought a broken Noob 116519 v2.2 watch head some time ago and frankened it with a white 116520 dial and hand set.
Got it recently polished and even more frankened (gen crown and pushers).

Here it is as it is



The case will be rhodium plated and the bezel will be changed to a “racing style” one, also plated.
After that the dial will be swapped with a racing dial. Also the hands (unfortunately I was not able to source a gen red Chrono and gen red subdial hands) will be swapped.
Final result will look similar to this one:



And this is my vintage Daytona with a caliber 72 working in

Is it lighting or is the bezel font fucked. 70 and 90 on tachymeter is smudged
