DAYTONA V3 CLEAN FACTORY 116500 BLACK

[ombre]

Here's a QC photo of the fresh stock. The coronet doesn't seem corrected, the hole is quite huge in my opinion. I'm just posting for educational purposes because it's a new product. I will delete the post if it's against some rule.

I approved my QC from JTime this morning and mine looked just like yours. I am not really concerned with the coronet hole. See the coronet on the gen in post #350. Or maybe I just don't mind bigger holes.

I'm trying to get more than a finger man.

@FiliGelli you tried to cancel your order after not getting QC's after 10 working days - that's not reasonable by any standard.

You've been here long enough to know better.

Saying 'Its available' does not mean he has one in the office waiting to send you.

Ha mate,
Sure, i know.
The only thing that upset me is "Yes, Available" when it's not.
Usually i don't have rush but this time it was a gift.
For that reason i got another watch instead of this one.
Anyway, end of the story because it's available again.

I wanted to post this. Credit to @M Scott for the side-by-side comparison. And as @wubsub mentioned, the coronet doesn't look as big as the original release.

My approved QC pics that I received last night: (The bezel looks a little off but that is easily fixed on my end)

I don't think that the hole will bother me all that much IRL. The dial is very small, the crystal has virtually zero AR and there are reflections from all angles, plus it's covered by the chrono hand. Whatever, I'm not a psycho...or trying to fool people on gen forums and IG that it's the real deal.

I plan on dropping the movement and all in my BTF case when it comes in. Or, maybe just trying to find a DEEP xtal to put in.

@ombre I'll just wear it as it is. My Noob V4 Panda was awesome and this is supposed to be way better, so I won't bother. In case I won't like it for some reason - off to M2M she goes I simply don't have the nerves or will power to do any modding. It's usually barely noticeable results for loads of shekels, so I'm done with that. For good.

I agree. The only upgrade I would really consider for this would be a crystal. But, I will wear it to see if it bothers me enough to do so.

The crystal doesn’t bother me, better than the v1. it looks quite the same to my gen or because i’m not that picky

Already on the way, so just for more QC pictures.

I own a CF (so the aim of this post is not to mock the QC, the countrary).

I feel the pushers are a bit too long, or at least of a strange shape.

JD (that is waaaaaaay more educated than me) says they are good and that pushers of 116500 are different from 116520.

Nonetheless, I find these pushers "strange"...
What do you think guys?

 

[werdn]

The coronet looks pretty good on the QC above!

 

[Therion666]

Agreed, it looks different than the coronet on mine. Now imagine me explaining that to the TD...and accomplishing anything..FFS...
