Rolex changed the crystal on the ceramic daytonas :D

FRoms 2019, they use the b25-7000-2-c1. Don't ask me the difference, I haven't seen it, but a fellow enthusiast got me doing some research (damn you Tschacko :D)[/QUOTE]

Thanks for calling me an enthusiast. I am indeed.

Here we go:

Micasol, you the man brother...as said by others before, your builds are work of art.
Anytime you want to sell any of them let me know ;). Good work.

My last Franken build
116520 noob base, build it with the spare gen parts I have

Gen dial
Gen chrono hands
Gen gaskets
Movement servicing
Gen setting level
Gen barrel and mainspring
Gen auto wind module
Gen chrono bridge

Will probably add gen hairspring and open case back I have too.
Pics of gen parts before starting

You have way too much money for that hobby Mica. By the time you should have all the parts to build a complete 4130 movement.
Did you get that beat error of 0.6 down?

You’re right, my other one have 90% of gen movement parts fit in,
Yes take have a look, 0,1 to 0,0 beats error and regulate to take 1 seconds or 0 seconds per day

Mica, I adore your work and passion for the Daytonas. Inspired by your 116519 with the red subdial hands I ordered a set and got them fitted by Domi, watch will arrive in the next days. Since I also have a 116506 with an ARF dial I think your pictures convinced me to change the ceramic bezel with a steel one, looks stunning!

Did that whole balance wheel and bridge go right in? Any major modifications needed to the noob movement?
