Let me guess, next question is "what is the best submariner"?

Hahahahahahaha

I actually got 2 of the panda and watch looks excellent but the weight seems to be not so good. Is it just me or the weight isn’t the same ? Other then that everything is very nice and looks stunning watch

I actually have a related question....

Given the fact Noob is using the same 904L steel, and a literal clone of the 4130 movement parts, I feel the watches are going to weigh very similar. I was wondering what is the actual discrepancy in weight of the crystal, hands, hour markers, bezel, etc.

Anybody measured the weight of a Gen and compared it with a Noob with the same length bracelet?

 

[WenR]

I also curious about the weight, so i ask my watch maker to mod the ARF bracelet to fit into my Noob base body (coz ARF bracelet have same 904 shiny look compare to gen, and noob is a little bit yellow shine n feel empty n light)

here goes some pict with ARF bracelet clasp n crystal

 

[WenR]

It is 132grams with 3links off

The full link gen daytona 116500 weight is 142grams

Is it V3?

I'm about to pull the trigger on the panda but I want it with the CF bezel.

I'm trying to order it from intime but there is no option to select the CF bezel and they don't seem to understand what I am asking for.

Can anyone recommend another dealer where it is possible to get the CF bezel with the watch.

Its not V3. Its franken with gen dial.
i only share info how to catch up gen weight spec.
ARF bracelet is heavier than Noob Bracelet.
Hope that can help forum member to get super rep.
Cheers,,,

Definitely a gen dial..

Funny that you keep on nitpicking about the Daytona red but can’t tell the difference between a gen and a rep dial. No hard feelings

Is it a 116500 or 116520 gen dial? I'm asking because I'm wondering how difficult and expensive it is to source a 116500 dial

116520. You can tell from the font.

116500 dials are very expensive new and very rarely come up for sale on the grey market.

That was my guess as well, but wanted to check
