Its a HEAVY Daytona kinda day....

[aHero]

So no tungsten watches are available?

I’m sure they can be sourced somehow through old stock or some factory will reappear with them.

 

[xing_david]

That’s what my dealer said as well

Wrong. I have 3 more cases on the way.

I just received this one today if anyone wants it.

 

[xing_david]

What a bummer. I genuinely want one

Msg me you can have this RG one if you want.

Also have a few buff meteorite dials and hand sets I could swap in if anyone would rather have that as the dial.

I've always found him very responsive and lets not forget he has a life outside of this

Have you tried messaging his personal number on WhatsApp? He left his number on the ‘about’ page in his profile.

Is the Daytona print so crooked on purpose?

Bought on 17th November, and received on 27th November. I think David’s credentials are reputable and enough but anyway, here’s my experience. The shipping is insured at my choice, to the value of the watch, with the invoice attached to the shipment indicated as watch repair. Received it in bubble wrap in a protector case. Photos are taken with iPhone 13 pro max. It really is difficult to work around with the glare Pictured is how I received the watch. There were minimal plastic wrapping on the bracelet.

Milled Tungsten case
Tungsten endlinks
Tungsten bracelet deep crystal
SS bezel
SS clasp
CF dial
Regulated 4130 movement

Unfortunately I don’t have a vemier caliper.





The push and stop button is firm to press, but the reset button is not. Satisfying engagement nonetheless.




Here’s my attempt to take the rehaut but to no avail. The CF panda rehaut is more visible. I can barely see the rehaut at the bottom of the watch.



As mentioned, the rehaut is difficult to see.











There are some scratches as you can see.











As pictured, this is the most I can screw in for the crown - it is rather tight.

Anyway, can’t wait to size it and enjoy it. Cheers lads!

I m struggling if I should also order one or not.
How does it feel? Do you think is worth the money?

I like the heavy feel on the wrist most, as well as the brilliance of the bezel, the oyster bracelet, and black dial.

I wanted a non ceramic bezel since I kind of grew out of the panda I had after a year. I feel like the black bezel is out of place with the white dial, so I have been contemplating on black dial stainless steel Daytona, or a blue dial tungsten Daytona.

I went for this since I came across the threads and saw that the weight of the watch is now manipulated to achieve closeness to the genuine ones. Besides the weight, I think there’s still room for improvement for it to achieve the finish of my CF Daytona in out of the box state - the bracelet, crown, rehaut, of this watch was visibly improper. As mentioned, tungsten is difficult to mill hence the rehaut. With that being said, seeing some of the people here, they probably cannot accept these flaws.

I see that you are mostly interested in Tungsten Daytona builds. I think you should still contemplate for now.

 

[JayTboy]

I appraciate your opinion
I think I will wait till the factories will improve with tungsten.
still enjoying my daytona Steel with black dial

Yeah but 3000 is kind of hit in the stomach ..

You got it from Xing or someone else for 15k yuan?

 

[JTSWE]

I have my own Suppiler, that can fix tungsten case/braclet/caseback,
But the Dail/movement/hands/crystal/dail needs to be bought/or searched for,

Fully build 15000 yuan, it’s still a lot of money but I am gonna do it when I have the funds over, can’t tho decide what model I am gonna bulid, it’s 100% being white gold/or plat,

Not under 220 grams.
