Was very very expensive to say the least and took ages to be completed as I needed certain spare parts for the movement and had to ensure the v72 perfectly fits the case (unfortunately most of the times not a simple drop fit as the tolerances are extremely low and the slightest pressure or misalignment stop the movement from working properly.)

Mate, what is the reason that your bezel is not properly aligned?

That bezel is misaligned for 90 degrees

Outgoing... to the watchsmith, to get the bezel put on right.

If you do it yourself, be careful - a ceramic bezel is a fragile thing. I learned this the hard/expensive way.

But why would someone do this on a modern Daytona? Here we are discussing about differences in subdial thickness of 0,1mm and then someone does this on purpose. I do not get it!​​​​​​

The bezel is perfectly straight, it's the dial, hands and case that are misaligned

It looks quite interesting. Almost like a modern art interpretation of the chronograph on how many people actually used it.

That looks very unique and kinda cool LOL

At least the dial is perfectly centered

Is the bezel intentionally rotated 90 degrees?

Or maybe it has a special rotatable bezel? LOL...
