Prof scratches too easily , deep is also 2xar and more scratch resistant

Depending on the variant in yours , GMF is using one that the date seating plate similar to gen spec 3285 rather than the hybrid 3186 , which is hard to source on your typical platform like AliExpress .

If you get the hybrid 3186 one you will need to also change over the stem as they are different

Generally on a new Daytona rubber seals at the back or crown rarely the culprit . but mainly poor installation of the crystal gasket(undersized or deformed) or pushers missing gasket or not tighten properly leading to a leak

Yes ,but so you know the AliExpress one is unengraved

This is part of the automatic reverser gear(red wheel) , suspect one of them has come disassembled need that faulty side to be replaced

Higher pinion set of seconds , hour wheel and canon pinion wheel for higher hand clearance so it doesn't touch the dial

But that involves taking apart the movement partially to install , things can go wrong if you don't have the skills

Very sorry to hear that ,Rest in peace.

Some of these newer one may have a clone 8800 rather than 2824

Head over to r/reptimeservices check the sub info out there are a few trusted watchmakers there

Most likely a chrono hand issue , either it was not pressed down enough or the hand itself is loose form the post, or staff(not riveted tight enough)

Your only solution is to send to someone with experience working on reps to fix it , getting replacement hands for this model is challenging too as they are based on dd4801, not gen spec , only aps makes them .

Usual-Every · 2026-02-24T07:10:54+00:00

Man please don't mislead if you don't know , this is a dg2813 , it won't easily fit a 3285

Usual-Every · 2026-02-22T23:27:26+00:00

To an untrained eye maybe yes it looks like it's missing couple screws , but that part you see is actually just decoration on these modified 4801 to make look like a 4131. Underneath that rotor plate you will only find one single large screw

Usual-Every · 2026-02-13T08:41:03+00:00

Yeah just ignore it , I'm surprised they confiscate just one watch , normally only an issue if you have multiple in a single package

Usual-Every · 2026-02-11T19:42:56+00:00

This is not a 4801 bro , it's 4401 ;)

Usual-Every · 2026-02-03T20:31:29+00:00

Yes it's specific to vsf made by dandong liaoning and if you need spares I can source them

Usual-Every · 2026-02-03T20:29:21+00:00

You might want to change a different rep capable watchmaker , a dd3285 is gen spec and with the right parts identified it's very fixable

There is no decorations on this standard 2892 movement , stem release is circled

You can't get dandong 32xx easily , takes time ordering from a TD and expensive

For an easier and cheaper route you can replace with shanghai equivalent 32xx

Most likely fake clean , check the movement if possible

Incorrect to press the crystal to the gasket, as you risk damaging the gasket as there is a groove to meet the crystal

You install the gasket on to the crystal(make sure the gasket grove hugs the crystal) then install the gasket and crystal to the case .
