But what about the rotor noise on these movements? I've owned a few of these 23j movement watches before, and they seem to make alot of noise.

The rotor on both 23J daytonas I wear everyday now is very quiet. First I thought the rotors were stuck, but they work. I was very surprised how quiet they are [emoji4]

Man this thing is beautiful. Does anyone know where to find a YG Daytona with the Black MOP, or Tahitian MOP dial? Been looking for one of those for a looooooooong ass time. Definitely gonna pick one of these beauties up in the meantime.

@lukko, Thanks for the info. I've been looking and reading for ages. And what a beauty with the black dial


No problem mate, currently over the various flaws of this watch (CG's, slightly higher reahut, etc etc)

I found these two things:


- Diver extension lacked: it does not engage, or otherwise disengages itself (two watches that i've ordered, two do the same thing. I have asked various users and also they have confirmed this flaw on them) Solution: a bigger springbars of diver extensions.


- Lume of the dial: This daytona JF 23j and daytona JF with A7750 are considered "superlume", but in reality, its lume is veeeery weak if compared to other replica watches superlume dials.

Hey Lukko if you find better/thicker spring bar for the clasp Easy link that fits tight please let us know. It's not tight, but once you fold and close the clasp it stays folded.

I tried the spring bar from other Easy link clasps and either same thin or too thick and won't slide through. Thanks

just received mine. unmodded, untouched. for now.

i'm planning to send it for a relume. shave off the rehaut engravings&shave down the rehaut. might do a gasket swap if the height of the crystal drops due to the shaving of the rehaut. or thin the bezel.

That is a beauty. Shotgun. I like the black dial better.
Can your bezel be polished down enough to get all the scratches out, or are the numbers too shallow?
