Daytona mod question from an old member

[gioarmani7428]

Long time, no see etc to everyone here.

Before tearing these apart, I'm curious if anyone would know if the dial from an ARF 116520--specifically this model:

https://chazingtime08.io/product/da...and-bracelet-black-dial-a4130-super-clone-v2/

will fit without modification onto the movement of this new Clean 116520 model--this one:

Daytona 116520 Clean 1:1 Best Edition 904L SS Case and Bracelet Black Dial SA4130 V2 – Chazingtime​

Any help is greatly appreciated. Hope all is well here.

Hi! Nope you need to shave the dial to fit it

The dial feet are also in different positions. So the ARF feet need to be clipped and the stumps grinded flat. At that point new feet can be glued on or you can use dial dots or even some epoxy blobs to anchor the dial. There is plenty of room on the movement top plate to do any of those techniques.

The dial can be shaved by hand, easily and safely. This may all sound like a lot of work but it is worth it. ARF dials are still top tier. Here is one in a Noob case.

Thanks for the heads up.

I wonder if a gen dial would be an easier fit?

Yes a gen dial would be a 1:1 fit, no modding needed.
