No name factory is ever better and no one knows them…
They do better bezels, dials and hands, the case is the same of jfk, the bracelet is better quality but without engravings.

So if you decide to mod the watch with viet bezel, dial, hands and tube + crown then you better choose jfk
But as an out of the box one, nonamefactory is way better!
Thank you! I just want to have one out of the box and enjoy on my wrist.

Thank you, there was a third link, but this forum made it a little hidden. This seems a No Name, right?

I fear not because of the dial, but sometime you have to know that old stocks haven’t updated pictures and descriptions :)
Just ask them explicitly for a no name factory one of the reference you want :)

Do you think is a stupid thing to buy a No Name watch, and fit a viet dial and bezel? I don't care of the movement, but just the look...

^no. it's actually the go-to path for that build i think. you probably don't even need a viet bezel. the no name has the flat s bezel i believe. so just switch to a viet dial, and you'll have a very nice looking vintage daytona rep.

No, I think it’s the best idea if you don’t care about the movement :)
If you want to fit viet bezel and dial, so go for a jfk watch ;)

Exactly! The NoName have good bezels too, it’s the best out of the box, but no deal for a viet bezel and dial ;)

If you want a good out of the box NoName is better

If you want a super good looking Daytona, jfk with viet dial and bezel is better

Obviously, if you want a gen-like you need the full viet kit with a vj72/726




Confrontation between 6265 (left) light aged NNF out of the box and 6263 (right) high end with vj72




And this is no name aged 6239 with modded dial and bezel ;)

Your choice!!

Thank you very much, so, if you don't care about the movement/functionality, the best you can obtain now is a No Name with viet bezel, dial, crown, tube, pushers and perhaps gen riveted bracelet, right?

If you change everything so is the same, both jfk and noname are good, but noname cost more :p
