I had my modder replace swap the crystal with Deep. I asked him to replace the gasket, but doesn't look like it was done since it's still cloudy. Does the rehaut look scratched now?
It seems its the visible edge of the Tungsten rehaut ring that I believe is removable on these tungsten models. The edges aren't polished well so they look scratched. Hoping that is the case here.

Nice, do you think the Deep crystal made a significant difference for the better?
Hey Guys!!! Soooo, I finally got mine from Elliot and was ESTATIC to get it! Almost 30 day wait! I unboxed it and took some glamour shots after taking all the plastic off. It’s beautiful. It’s a QF. Kinda shocked it weighs a lot less than the regular Daytonas and less than my Batman (Oyster). Then I went to set the time and it went down hill but Elliot is taking care of it. I am shipping back to him for him to fix it or replace it at his cost, shipping both ways too.
When you unscrew it, the crown comes out too far and then pops. If you go to wind it, it won’t wind. It just screws closed. If when it pops, you pull the crown to set the time, it’s easy and you can set the time. Trying to push it in to click so you can again wind it, it won’t. You have to really put some pressure on it to click back in and then it just screws in to closed position. This sucks! It’s gonna be 20 days shipping there, 20 days days back and however long Elliot takes. AAAARRRRGH!!! It is a beautiful watch and Elliot is awesome! The only positives. Hahaha.

QF gasket vs same as gen gasket. Quite white the QF version.

That’s not the crown that comes outside too much. This is the crown that still screwed-in on the tube and this is actually the tube that unscrewed from the case.
The factory didn’t screw properly the tube and not put theardlocker for sure.
This is an easy fix anyway
I need to swap the crystal and gasket once I get mine back from being plated. I'll probably go gen crystal. Can't wait to see the difference.

what do you mean exactly by it feels cheap?And here is my Le Mans QF gain weight. Over all a beautiful watch but the bracelet... it feels cheap...
IMO: Does not feel weighted and also the over all build quality of the bracelet stinks. Mine has pin (loose) issues and the oyster clasp and easy link was not fitted proper.
That sucks! I assume you did order the weighted version? Most bracelets come with the need of having to tighten the screws. Maybe talk to the TD about a new bracelet? Just throwing options out there. Sorry that yours is not up to par.
Correct. I ordered the weighted. I have other Daytona's non weighted and are better quality. I did not weight it, but I see no difference weight wise other than the case which is weighted imo is worth it.

i don't love the bracelet tbh. I have it weighted, but they should have weighted the bracelet more
