Veey cool. You are right the grey dial two tone configuration is very rare!

Hi All,

I'm not sure this is the correct area to ask this question but to all the watchmakers or DIY guys - what trick are you guys all using to ensure when pressing back the chrono hands they are perfectly aligned at 12? Everytime I press the chrono hand especially the large one it always seems a tad off.

Is there a trick to ensure when pressing hands they dont move? Or how are you guys aligning it and pressing it perfectly centre?

C factory new product Daytona Le Mans.

Rolex Daytona Series 126529-0001 New Le Mans

True 24-hour timing function, the upper limit of ordinary 4131 Daytona is 12 hours.

Transparent glass bottom cover, of all Daytona models, only Le Mans and Ice Blue Day have transparent bottom cover.



The three eyes on the dial are made of pearl white frosted technology, not pure white. It is consistent with the real thing.

Those who have modders - who do you use to plate white gold? This might be my first piece I actually am interested in making a perfect copy. Thanks all.

I've used both flandad and majorwilliams brother, the only thing with flan dad is he only plate stickers (brand new) pieces.

After fooling around with the custom watches and high level Daytonas, I always end up falling back in love with the classic. 116520 is so much nicer now I switched the case

Good boy

I didnt wear the 116520 for almost 4 months because of lug issue, now I swapped it I will wear it alot more, the 116500 is probably my beater and ill get a VSF 116500 for cheap to replace it soon

Hi,
This seemed to don’t have lug issue, what do you think about the dial?

i don't think that lug issue is that much of a big deal in real life, it's barely noticeable. I love my clean v3 520 feels gen as with a deep bezel
