In Amsterdam it’s impossible to wear this watch, the little robbers won’t see the difference even it hit them in the face. But damn I love this watch. The reversed ghost gets my love too, but not to sure about the glimmering subdials..

Even if we return to the usual discussion, here we are talking about a few mm and a small angle, on the wrist, in movement and in reality (not in photography) it is most likely impossible to distinguish them.

Ps I know perfectly well that it is not white gold
Every time I look at my QF on wrist I see those damn long pushers.

thx.
wondering if you spotted any difference between the stock QF dial resulting that you instantly made the swap to this custom one?
Dealer recommended it to me, thought I'd try it out since I haven't seen anyone else do it yet.

On a serious note, can you get shorter pushers? What are the specs on the gen (length)?

I'm very pleased with. mine. I am planning on swapping out the crystal/gasket soon. May as well swap pushers if they are available.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

It’s not just the pusher length, it’s the angle. Unfortunately, the problem is the case opening angle for the pusher, AND wrong shape crown guards. Just changing pushers won’t help.

The pushers are supposed to arch toward crown guards—almost touch the crown guards.

QF, APS
See the pusher to crown guard gap on QF…pusher Should be angled, almost touching the crown guard:






QF, APS



Yes, aware of the APSF 24 dial flaw. These are just to show the case differences. At least APSF is 1:1 case

Yeah APS case is better for sure. So maybe a contender if SW dial swap.

I still lean QF because dial is 70% of this watch and the APS dial and markers are inferior to APSF.

Well I don't want to come off as arrogant or mean but you started off your sentence with

"I'm completely lost.... help me..."... so i don't know what level you wanted me to go into detail, some people are not that knowledgeable with the replica or real of the Le Mans.....
@Reaps I found your post very helpful. I’m looking into a LeMans myself. Thank you! For WG plating, who do you send it to?

Bonjour, après avoir tout bien lu, je voudrais une 126529 QF tungstène.
Par contre, si je veux changer le joint et le cristal, et faire un placage en or blanc,
par qui faut-il passer ?
Existe-t-il un vendeur qui peut vendre la montre complete avec ces modifications ?
Merci

That would be a fun project!

White crystal gasket ring on QF, not on APSF

I'm thinking of doing a clean build,with the QF dial and bezel.mot to concerned with the gold rotor and clear case back to be honest.if it fits it fits.
I was wondering if the pushers, om the APS case, would line up with the movement in the QF.

Also, do you know what 295-C gasket I should get for a gen crystal? Esslinger shows must 295-C gaskets.
