Hello, my name is Thomas and I live in Germany. I would like to ask you something and I hope I'm in the right place in this area. Unfortunately my English isn't that good ;-).

I ordered the new Daytona 126500 (Panda) from the Clean Factory from a dealer in Germany. The dealer is on Instagram under the name Rep Watch Collector and @the.luxury.watch.guy. I really wanted the Clean and made it clear to him. I got the watch this week and noticed that it is only 11.8mm thick. In all the pictures online, however, it is always 12.2mm thick. Otherwise, I can't notice anything about the watch, as I don't have any experience. I would like to ask you whether it is possible for the Clean Factory to have such a big difference in production? I would be very happy to receive a quick reply and thank you for your help and support. Best regards from Germany Thomas

@Submariner01 if your caliper is working correctly this is not the newest clean 126500 with SH4131 movement. The clean one is 12.08mm thick. How much did you pay for it? Should cost around 780€ at least that's what TDs will charge. I would highly advise you to buy from TDs, just go to TD section and choose one 😉

You got fucking fleeced

That's a VS/SBF SL-4801 126500 that only costs around $400-500 USD. I can tell because the crown is the VS crown which is very bad.

Thank you Reaps for your feedback and expertise. Yes, I have now also heard about it from a TD here in the forum via PM. The guy from Instagram cheated me. That's why he removed the stickers from the case and the strap. When I asked him why he did that, he said it was his customer service ;-)). So be careful with this guy, he's a scammer. I now only buy from the dealers here in the forum, where I have met very nice and trustworthy people. Best wishes from Germany
