I would assume Noob is planning on releasing something... Why else would they be discounting all their current Daytona models?

Hello. Just got my QC pics on the white and black. Both have the 12 and 3 not centered. I guess it's a calendar movement and need to reset them everyday...which I think I'm ok with. Anyway, aside from the SEL fit which I wish were better, it looks great. I accepted.

Some pics would be appreciated!

And do you think it is a single push reset or you have to adjust them separately through both buttons clicking the hands all around sundials?

No idea my friend. I read fake chrono and I just assumed the 12 and 3 counters were also frozen. I'll post pics when I get them (no QC pics allowed?). Ordered both white and black

QC allowed to show off watch, just not to ask questions if it should be accepted unless approved by mods.

I bet its just like nembo's , you have to push one pusher up to 7 times and the other pusher up to 30 times to get the hands straight up !

That would be a pain. Anyone know how hard would be to freeze the 12 and 3 counters?

Maybe shave off the teeth on the gears? You wouldn't want to glue anything on a movement.

Looks legit to me. I never use 2nd hand on 7750 so this is perfect.

wow looks great! and those pushers !!! PERFECT! trim those crown guards and your golden!!

You're particular about the pushers like me. I'm impressed with them too. Best short length and shape by far. But nit picking here, the gen pushers are angled slightly inward toward the crown guards. Still, very close in length, knurl shape, even the 2 engraved lines exposed just enough when screws in. I doubt would get better than this visually. I had to have both colors.

I'm absolutely fine with resetting this if the quality is as high as it is. But I don't know what this off center 3&9 is about? Can someone paint me a picture??

I think they are meaning the subdials aren't at the number "12" and "30" on the subdials. Since we assumed these were frozen originally they would stay pointing straight north, but if they have calendar function and have to be reset with the pusher they aren't frozen.

yeah looks nice and whatever, but cmon guys is unacceptable that those subdials runs as a calendar like a 50 dollar Canal Street ones! 300 USD for something like that is ridiculous, if they frozen fine, but if not is completely overrated!!

Atleast we keep them modders busy. Perhaps a way to freeze the subdials? After reading the subdials aren't frozen this is even more down on the wishlist!
