QF Le Mans Daytona 126529（White-Eyed Wolf）High Definition Photos

Having received mine and been lucky enough to view the original in flesh I can attest to what a great job QF have done on V8/9 model. The dial is fantastic and the star burst finish appears identical to original, the 24hr counter works a treat and as we know the QF bezel is spot on. The crystal seems to be have been amended on this version too 
No replica can be perfect but it’s hard to imagine a better off the shelf copy at such a price.
A few pictures attached but it’s a great piece of kit and for me the two most important visible items of a watch are the dial and bezel and on the QF both are better imo than the Clean.

Got to say I am loving this QF Le Mans, just wow. I have some expensive gens in my collection but this thing is going to be getting some serious wrist time! Great job.
Also big shout out to @trustytime for supplying it, a great dealer who stepped up when first package went AWOL.

Posted on Clean thread as well but for ref this is the QF dial sub register macros, printing is superb, not an issue, any poor printing on other photos for the V8/9 is probably artefacts on photos.
I don’t believe there is a V10, just one random dealer who mentioned it, my TD said there is only V8/9
Thank you for the information regarding the V10.
I have one more question I’d like to ask everyone—if I were to replace the strap on the 126529, what design or color would you recommend? Since leather doesn’t suit my skin, I would appreciate suggestions using rubber material.
If you happen to have any images of potential strap options, I’d be grateful if you could share them as well.
Clean 126509 case/bracelet/clasp, QF dial/movement/bezel/caseback, deep crystal. Best parts from each factory, no QF long pushers or flimsy clasp. SS looks closer to WG than the plated tungsten QF.

How much did it cost you? Had to buy both watches and swap? Thinking about the same but I'm lazy and poor so I may just go straight QFClean 126509 case/bracelet/clasp, QF dial/movement/bezel/caseback, deep crystal. Best parts from each factory, no QF long pushers or flimsy clasp. SS looks closer to WG than the plated tungsten QF.
Yes, bought both watches and swapped.
If I had to pick one I'd get the QF V8 non-tungsten and swap the gasket.
Or get the tungsten if you don't mind the ultra white metal tone.

Is the QF bezel ring noticeably whiter than the CF case? It looks to me on mine like it is. I'm contemplating the parts swap, but may just do the dials.
did the opposite wayClean 126509 case/bracelet/clasp, QF dial/movement/bezel/caseback, deep crystal. Best parts from each factory, no QF long pushers or flimsy clasp. SS looks closer to WG than the plated tungsten QF.
qf case, clean caseback, clean dial, clean hands, clean mvm, qf rotor, gf pushers (different construction overall, smoother mechanism also Clean does not fit to qf case), qf bezel, deep v2 xtal, gen gasket, clean crown, qf tube, qf sel, qf clasp both reworked.
Clean dial is darker and has more subtle sunburst closer to gen, print is crisp, more 3d effect, also the subdial finish is night and day vs qf.
Qf standing alone is superb but sbs clean dial is superior.
Qf bezel is genlike vs clean whose engravings looks cheap and overfilled
Surprisingly Qf case shape and finish is superior to cleans, hue is more wg-ish, inside and under the bezel there are two added weight rings (tungsten), overall qf (base) looks and feels gen.
