Hiya,

Newbie here with some questions about where to buy the best Daytona 116500LN white dial watch from. I've read a few posts (with great info) on here but they're a few years old so I'm wondering if the quality has improved & from what factory/online seller I should buy from.

From what I've read here this is what I've come up with so far:
1. 4130, 1:1 movement is best
2. Best Factory: BTF, Clean Factory, then Noob factory (in that order)
3. Purchase through intime06.co
4. Price is around $800US

Corrections welcomed :)

From the comparisons online there appears to be no real difference visually, only when a quality loupe is used imperfections/mistakes can be picked up. Is it possible to get these watches repaired if they break down & out of warranty? Preferably I'd like to get this done in the UK if possible.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm based in London.

Many thanks :)

Shane

Yes everything you have mentioned is correct. BTF and Clean both are best options at the moment.
U will have to find a local watchsmith rep friendly who can help repair if something goes wrong . Go to trusted dealer section, there are few more options for dealers my personal fav is jtime.
Never use google to find TD website always use the links given here at the td section.

Thanks for your reply Bunny123, I'm glad I'm on the right track :) I'll have a look at Jtime now as well. Good info about not using Google to search for TD's as well.

Cheers

Well I ended up buying this from intime06.co and followed their purchasing process to pay using another site called rothenwatch. I hope it goes smoothly, I can understand why they've made purchasing like this but it's still a little daunting. I guess I'll just have to sit back and wait now.

Anyone gone through this that can make me feel a bit more secure? 😅
