In a previous post, there was a rattling in the endlink.
From the beginning, mine has a 2mm end link spring bar and there is no rattling.
It seems that it has been improved.

Mate I don't even notice shit like that. Yeh mine rattles a bit doesn't bother me one bit.

I like perusing this site.

I think the watch that started this thread the pre-Daytona 6238 is probably one of the most authentic looking
There are issues with these in particular the subdials the size and positioning of which is not quite right. Crowns, pushers, cases, case thickness, non-moving subdial hands etc etc
Some of these pop up with fair regularity on the M2M salesboard with multiple gen parts, reworked cases, etc. Expect to pay several thousand dollars though.
I have thought about picking one up but I am considering picking up a gen Zentih El Primero Revival so to spend such an amount of $$ for what still is a rep is not my priority right now.

These JKFs are fun watches that offer a lot for the money, an old Rolex vibe for not a lot of $$.
Nobody is gong to mistake them for the real thing though that retails for $50k+ for a normal dial and $300k to $1,000,000 for a Paul Newman dial.

The red DAYTONA letters are a little thin, but I'm happy with the finish for $ 200.

For comparison

The one on the left is made by yodog.

JKF on the right


The sub dial looks a little silver.
How much is the one of the left? Subdials look bigger. More gen like
