what i experience with the v3 bezel is, after approx 2 months plus with minimal wearing (about 4 days weekly) the bezel started to fade and looks dull under certain indoor lights conditions, and if you have a CF bezel to compare side by side, it's quite a noticable difference. So i guess, CF is the way to go moving forward.
If you could live without working cronos, go for ARF

Do we need a different crystal gasket when swapping over to CF bezel for the height ?

the CF frame seems flatter. then the glass will rise more. but some gen also stick out more

Just an update. Been wearing the Noob V3 for about a month now and I noticed the bezel numerals seems to be darker in low light as compared to when I first received in. In normal daylight it seems fine but in low light it's quite obvious. Ordered a CF bezel so we will see how the CF bezel compares with the noob V3 over time when it arrives.


Also, tried to get the ARF V2 Dial from TD but TD says ARF doesn't sell individual Daytona parts for the time being.

Just posting to confirm I received my Daytona panda from pure time it's perfect as promised so far very happy with it can feel the quality and chronograph works perfectly to I'd like to leave the chronograph running as I like the sweeping hand is this ok to do with these replicas I've read it's fine with genuine one?

Hey,

I have a weird problem with my Chrono, maybe anyone knows whats happening or even had the same problem:

Watch is fully wound. When I run the chrono everything is fine for the first hour or so. After around 1 hour the whole watch just stops. Chronoseconds stop, chronominutes + hours stop, Normal seconds at 6 stop and normal hour + minute stop too.

When I push the chrono stop button (upper pusher), the normal seconds at 6 start moving again, so does normal minute + hour hand like nothing ever happened.

Anyone knows whats up there? Watch was fully serviced 2 months ago.

I'm assuming there is a teeth missing in some wheel which gets the chrono and therefore the whole movement stuck, but no idea.

Just use the chrono until you need it.

Hi mate,

Does it happen every time?
Is it always the same position?
Do the counters reset OK?
Do you have a die to take the back off to post a picture?

Hey red!

1. I'm not sure. I don't use the chrono often and when I use it I only use it for a few minutes, never hours.
2. Not sure either.
3. Yes
4. No

I will let the Chrono run tomorrow for a while and document the positions and times when it stops, maybe its always the same position, then I'd assume its a missing tooth or something

I have seen this a couple of times with this movement. I've seen the chrono Bridge incorrectly installed from the factory, also issues with the counter jumper and setting minute counter although that issue would usually be observed after minutes not hours. If you have ran the chrono since the service, I would be surprised if a gear was damaged. Best thing to do for now is as you say and monitor the chrono and report back with your findings.

I had 116519LN and i used the chrono often. And sometimes i forgot to stop it. I had no issues with it, but keep in mind...it is a risk, we don't know if all parts are properly build,polished and cleaned.

Thanks very much fella soon as I seen the QC pics I knew it was the one for me but only because I researched this forum for a year without everyone's help I wouldn't have one now! I will say it only just fits my wrist I'd say my wrist is big but not huge so if you have a big wrist I'd ask for extra links.

Save up for my next superclone now I'm thinking a pepsi!

Thanks everyone Karl

Very nice watch, maybe little sel gaps but who cares :)
Waiting for mine too, but i will use an everest racing strap.
Normaly right-handed people wearing watches on the left and vice versa but its no stricted rule so wear it like you feel most comfortable...

Yes I did notice the sel gaps but I didn't want to refuse and risk getting a worse one! Hope yours arrives all well and good! I have seen the rubber straps which I can imagine are more comfortable to wear I am right handed so I'll keep it on left wrist :)
