It was purchased from pure time and came with the warranty card which has serial number and ad dealer info,had qc pics 16th November and delivered to Uk 22 november ,awesome service,my third purchase from pure time ,it now has a minor issue where the previously perfect chrono now refuses to stop ,however it did work fine when I received it,puretime have offered to pay for the repair at a local watchsmith within reason or I can send it back for repair which really doesn’t sound a good idea to me. I am trying to wait till it runs out of power to try resetting it then but it’s still keeping time nearly 48 hours after taking it off my wrist ,And that’s with the chrono permanently on ! Any repair experts in Uk?

Hope you get the chrono problem resolved, you are lucky to have one with thin subdials. Wear it in good health ~!

Those are both gen 116500.
As can be seen here, over the years Rolex made different dial fonts.

One is “slim”, the other one is “fat”.

This means we use to call “flaws” stuff that R factory did themselves as routine :)

Hey guys, just an illustration that lighting can play huge tricks on Daytona Black Dial Subdials.
They might appear thicker n thinner depending on how lighting strikes them n how they reflect it.


sorry pictures didn't show:(

Re the light situation on subdials,I already had the fat sundial version with the 4130 movement (till somebody mugged me and ripped it off my wrist) so I can tell the difference ????
