Need some advice here as to what you guys think of this.

What i’ve done so far:
- Ive swapped the band!
( old band was very flimsy and nothing compared to original „lug bolts“)
- Removed the daytona logo - yes, flare was one result .. just call it vintage issue ;))
( old logo was to close to bottom dial and color was pinkish orange )

To do‘s:
- I want to swap both pushers with ones i have that include the double ring seen when closed
- Big crown need flattening ( anyone done this? how do you separate the pin part from the crown?)
- i have been working on an aged bezel as this one is clearly to crisp and white

now to anyone with an expert eye on this daytona...
- what would you change
- what do you think needs attention

How did you remove the Daytona on the dial?
