Off-catalogue Rolex franken builds - confessions of a Daytonaholic
- Thread starter KruisingKhaos95
- Start date
Thrilled to come across this discussion. It perfectly resonates with my interest. All my Daytona's were acquired from Flan_dad, undergoing re-plate processes, some including custom dials. It feels like I've just scratched the surface of the "feel good" aspect, and now, I'm eager to elevate my involvement to the next tier (God help us).
While I haven't delved into all the pages of this thread yet, I'm eagerly anticipating the shared ideas. Speculating on my future interests, the prospect of custom dials with lab-grown stones holds significant appeal. Additionally, I'm intrigued by the idea of venturing into solid metals such as platinum and gold for bracelets, along with exploring CNC cases.

The factory really nailed the colours on the dial, it looks phenomenal!
One of the things I love about daytonas is just how much variation there is. Whether it be steel, white gold, yellow gold, everose, platinum, on a bracelet, on oysterflex or a custom strap. Who needs other watches when you can just have a shed load of 'tonas

Not a bad start to the week
Two new arrivals have landed today, the first being my black tahitian MOP 116509 as well as a CF v3 black dial 500:

Depends on the lighting to be honest mate. It's certainly not the most legible dial in the world and let's face it, Daytona dials already aren't good from a legibility perspective... But god it's pretty!
Thats why I asked, already issues with them and with that dial
......but yes, all of them are pretty after all 
Daytona collection update:
Edit - lighting is dreadful in this pic, I'll do a full breakdown of my collection at some point soon using proper pics in better lighting

As much as I'd love that title, there a few other members here that have crazier collections than mine
Honestly it's hard for me too mate, although after hunting the pre raid Noob 519 for months and months (pre CF and BTF release), it does hold that extra value to me, that watch is patient 0 for my obsession
