Hello,
Which traders currently handle QF or do I have to ask specifically for a QF Daytona?
Thanks.

Is this the SS?While I have not received it (currently in transit), here are some photos sent to me by a resident watchmaker who plated my Le Mans case, bracelet and rotor. I think it turned out really well! I’m excited to see it in person. Enjoy!
Guys i would Like add an Oyterflex bracelet to my QF Le Mans… Do you know if there is anyone that will fit it?

Thanks! Deep Crystal and replaced the gasket although it still looks milky to me. Going to try some of the other recommendations posted on this thread.

thats not alway the case here with whats app dealers ive been a customer with this particlar dealer for many years and the buying experience is excellent .along with better pricing and service ... and other contributer here on this treat can be testament to this ... posting his mods ....
I’ve owned quite a few Daytona reps including my current QF, 2 Cleans, 2 NOOBs and 2 ARFs. 1 of my NOOBs (now with my son) is a nice franken with gen dial, gen crystal, gen hands, ARF clasp. I compare all of these to my gen 116500LN Panda.
The QF (tungsten) is the only one out of those that I’d buy again. The dial is better than any of the 6 mentioned above, the bracelet and clasp is comparable with the best of them, the case is also comparable. The only parts I’d say weren’t as nice are the chrono pushers. I’ve never owned another QF before so I can’t say first hand about their quality but I compare my gen vs QF and I’d say the QF gives me 90% of the feel. I’d take it with a grain of salt when people say they’re waiting for a better LM rep to come along, they’ve never owned this QF.
Does anyone actually own a QF LM that didn't have the sunburst dial? I think because the sunburst is so subtle in person and doesn't photograph well, if at all, that they actually all came with the same sunburst dials, even earlier production. It's possible that early on people didn't see the sunburst in the pics, assumed it wasn't there and then believe there are 2 dial versions - early without sunburst and then later with sunburst. But if someone has a QF LM without sunburst then we'd know 100% for sure that earlier ones had flat dials.
Interesting. The sunburst is very subtle, but present on mine. I bought mine pretty early on, but I know they were out for a little bit before I purchased. would be interesting to see a flat dial.
I guess there isn‘t any Oysterflex that can close the gap to the case - I also tried this and was disappointed and unsatisfied with the result.
In my opinion the only way to close the gap and make it look good is to change the case to one which is made for Oysterflex, so with a little endlink between the Oysterflex and case (as f.I. 126519 has) that comes from factory with Oysterflex
Tomorrow or the next days I will explain what I did (or let do from a watchmaker) to a) bring a Daytona to a Oysterflex and b) to bring a 126519 to a ‚normal’ Oysterbracelet without any gaps - there are also the bezel and the backside to change to make it ‚perfect‘
Here are some pics of my LeMans on Oysterflex:
