Ok,right,but for me height rehaut is a big and visible flaw,i have genuine daytona,the rehaut is very low..[emoji57]

That is for certain. Did you shave it from the top to lower the height? How did you do it? Did you just sand it down on a flat surface? If this is how you did it does the fixed counting hand hit the crystal?

Im just waiting to hear about the bracelet issue (which alternative is the best fit) and I am ready to buy! Seeing [MENTION=46945]shotgun[/MENTION] 's SEL fitment though makes me a little more confident. Also hoping in that time one of you will sell me one in the CONUS ;)

Anyone know if a Noob Sub-C bracelet would fit?

That is true. I am more a fan of non polished links but it does take away from the gen appearance.

Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the daytona

I used dremel initially, then I filed on a flat surface and ended with my hands repolish all..and no,the counting hand dont hit the crystal..

I've never order from a TD somehow and I'm so impatient I don't know if I could! Haha

If you go that route and C&R one, let me know!

Yes correct ,A7750...

Wow fitment looks quite good despite the A7750 case being bigger. Did you do any modification to the bracelet to make the SEL fitment so good?
