Stunning bro....really love it ! what are the final specs ?

In fact a used my Daytona genestein base, the one with the rainbow black dial that guru love so much, and swapped it by this ice blue gen diamonds one, a new gen hands set all of them which are the correct ones for this kind of dials with baguette stones,

This Dial look good. But thing that bothers me is the Gen seems to have bigger Daimonds at 3 6 9 markers and also the subdials have silver inner and outter rings.
