DAYTONA V3 CLEAN FACTORY 116500 BLACK

[michaelle1193]

thanks for the comment, I noticed it too and he informed me that it is the new batch

I don’t trust them. It’s a new version but they use the old batch. I had the same problem with the white panda. New dial but old crown

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

Off center

What's off center? Rehaut? Come'on man. It's fine.

Misaligned, clean is well known for that. I just said what i saw. I said very clearly that i hope I’m wrong

The Dial is not centered in the Case. You can see the difference in the gap between the Minute Marks and the Case at the Rehaut.

It is a fairly easy adjustment to correct. It is an assembly quality issue. Many Noobs also had this problem.

I already said this but I don't think it's been fixed.

I think if you're looking at a 'fixed' coronet, you're actually looking at a V2.

Re the rehaut: On the wrist no one will notice. This rep game is all about what "imperfections" one can live with. For me if you can't see it on the wrist then it's not worth worrying about it.

Look at the white lines, minute mark

+1000. this is my point

I agree. This one is ok. I've seen some very noticeable from Clean.

The corona looks big hole man

Do we have to request 'small hole' or 'fixed' coronet to get the small one?

I don’t know about your TD but you should ask for another one if u are not happy with

I got the additional pics I asked for. I need more eyes on this, because I'm starting to think that my mind is playing tricks on me.. The coronet definitely has a huge hole. Is the rehaut misaligned? Did the lovely white gasket make a comeback?

Looks like great example. The coronet is so small. Enjoy! i’d be very happy with this one

Ironically... this one looks like a V1 big hole to me.

Maybe I shouldn't worry about it and just order the watch in it current iteration.

Idk what does everyone else think. Big or small hole?

Look at the coronet on the watch posted by @Rufctr2 and compare it to mine and gen. The rehaut is not centered either.

For some reason I find the BTF dial and bezel more eye pleasing, I have no clue which one is more Genlike. But if I saw latest Clean and BTF on the table I would pick BTF, but it could also be the lightning, photos not taken in same angle, distance or position so.

The rehaut is little missaligned.. dont know if you can se it in real life but when zomed in you can se it. And the hole in the cornet is so small in real life so i dont think you will notice it. But remember this is a 700usd replica, if you want perfection go gen, its the only solution, i think ppl offen forget about that and think its same quality/QC as gens.
But its a lovley watch, and you will be verry happy with it. Realy nice dial

@Tompa : after 15 years in this hobby, I understand your point. But I did pay the same as others though (788$ plus 65$ shipping), so I'd like a watch like other people are getting. Nothing more, but also nothing less. I've specifically explained the TD my reasons for choosing him over my TD of past couple of years (who tried QC reject shenanigans on me after selling me over 50 watches). I've specifically asked for certain attributes and a centered rehaut was one of them. Also a smaller hole in the coronet. I was assured that this is what I'll get and yet here we are. So no, I don't feel like buying aftermarket coronets and spending loads of money on shipping the watch to modders. I just don't. I had about 10 Daytonas so far, so I'm aware that these details are super small, but are also very important when you're trying to sell the watch. There's no need to go gen, TDs just have to do a better job at finding stuff that actually exists out there.
