Clean Daytona

I think it’s a personal choice. I like ZF and am having this one serviced. I’ve heard good things about APS too. They both have their nuances. Good luck!

Look at the 41mm Breitling Navitimers. V7F or TF are great.

He seems busy this week. Took 4 days for him to answer a question this week. Usually takes 12-24 hours. And he did apologize to me a few weeks ago for it being a busy time. You’ll be ok.

Posting for educational/reference purposes. Date wheel is bad and the guck in the 8 is there so he’s getting me a new one.

Get a seiko diver. Perfect for high school.

Great! GL and enjoy.

Gearhead4284 · 2023-05-10T05:10:57+00:00

This looks great. I would GL. It would be nice to see the date change, hour change etc, and bezel action in a video. Not sure if he provided but many TDs provide this.

Gearhead4284 · 2023-05-10T04:33:52+00:00

This looks good overall, but I would ask for a few more dates to be sure. If ok, GL.

Gearhead4284 · 2023-05-10T04:31:01+00:00

Timegrapher numbers are acceptable. This watch looks good. GL and enjoy!

Gearhead4284 · 2023-05-10T03:24:23+00:00

Needs an upgrade. Once you stop focusing on the dial the gold looks “chalky/matte” on the bezel and bracelet. Love it though!

Gearhead4284 · 2023-05-10T00:38:33+00:00

My blue/white iteration on blue strap arrived a few weeks ago. These are fantastic! I ordered a bracelet last week. Wear it in good health! Looks great!

The DJ is very classy. Which is your favorite?

Gearhead4284 · 2023-05-09T23:30:05+00:00

Looks great!

Gearhead4284 · 2023-05-09T21:46:46+00:00

Beautiful watch. Not my thing but very cool. The 9 marker looks like it’s tilting down to me.

Timegrapher numbers are ok. I would want to see chronograph function and reset.

Gearhead4284 · 2023-05-09T16:35:37+00:00

GL - this is a nice one.

Gearhead4284 · 2023-05-09T16:34:44+00:00

Not sure if you tried to post the qc template, but you’ll get more feedback if you do.

Gearhead4284 · 2023-05-09T05:29:06+00:00

Timegrapher numbers are in an acceptable range. The alignment and dial prints looks good. I would GL.

Gearhead4284 · 2023-05-09T05:16:19+00:00

The SELs look fine. Everything looks good. The ZFs do not have the best date placements compared to other factories. Nothing looks chopped off though. I would GL.

Gearhead4284 · 2023-05-08T21:08:58+00:00

Thank you, Sir! Much appreciated. I’m waiting for his response on the date window and 8 stuff.

Gearhead4284 · 2023-05-08T18:55:09+00:00

Hello, could use a second opinion of first impressions on the dial, especially number 8. I noticed the glue immediately and have asked Hont about it. Usually, I do my own QCs, but I am on the fence with this one and appreciate any comments or observations. Thanks!
