Rich 41mm DJ

These look pretty damn good. Second two pics are Gen for comparison. The bezel comes white gold plated from the factory as well which is one of the most annoying upgrades you have to do on these things. Lug shape looks spot on too. So far it looks like only Rich and Gold factory claim to 18K white gold plate their fluted bezels stock.

Rich vs VSF (V3 6X03) GMT Crystal comparison

The Batgirl is VSF and the BW is Rich V2. Who has the better crystal? In person I can tell you Rich is very slightly less reflective under bright lights in its most reflective angle compared to VSF. Both crystals are excellent. What do you all think?

Another interesting factory to check out - Gold factory

https://a202312132006116312001602.wgstores.com/weshop/goods/\_dqIqfxwrw9kXZtPoZCte4JHTk4U1Ae4MhDEz\_3Q/\_dsbqfLpa1IhBCMuFGZ9hR30OzoAcUr1CnQqRPUQ

This Panda Daytona looks really good, it has the correct bezel (no 110 arrow tell) and free sprung JH4131. I'm not sure if it's as good as RWF (dial might be too white, like Clean plus which also has the correct bezel) but at least it doesn't have the damn bezel issue. Gold also claims to use real grade 5 titanium in their Yacht-Master 42 (VSF again caught using lower grade alloys - grade 2 titanium). Thoughts?

126502 modded dial (Lichen)

What do we think? I tried asking some questions about it but I think I angered him and then he was rude to me lol. I'll try again later. Looks like it could be real enamel to me.

Edit: btw he tells me it's real enamel. Definitely looks better than the stock factory ones.

RWF Panda Daytona update

RWF Panda Daytona update

Got it upgraded with a deep crystal, case and bracelet polished, and movement regulated and lubricated (i.e full spa treatment). Chronograph works perfectly (tested 24 hours), watch running +/- 3 seconds per day, also confirmed to have true free sprung movement. I think this thing is NWBIG. Give this factory a try for a near perfect Panda Daytona 126500 rep.

Modded ARF Meteorite Pepsi - Phoenix

Gotten a few pieces from Phoenix, this one's probably my favorite. It's a flash sale he had on an ARF meteorite Pepsi, modded with a Deep Crystal, whole watch polish (case and bracelet chamfer) and 7um 18K white gold plating.

ZF AP 26240 (free sprung) vs APS 15400 White/Silver

I know it's apples and oranges but still an interesting comparison. The APS dial is slightly whiter/warmer and the ZF dial definitely looks more silver. I'm really impressed with the quality of the dial and case on the ZF in hand.
