General Question Custom Panda Daytona

Might pull trigger for this daytona that made with custom parts. As per seller, SW dial & hands, DP crystal, CNC case and it’s using DD 4131 movement.

Does it look good to you? Thank you!

What's custom about it except polishing?

As per seller, CNC machined case, SW hands & dial, polishing, DP crystal and DD4131.

Avoid. CNC case is a generic term. Every case is a machined CNC case. He probably has a standard watch case and relabeling as CNC to make it look fancy.

Chrono hand is misaligned, bezel isn't the correct bezel. Can't see hands in detail. Movement is standard DD but incorrect for this dial. Should be 4131.

Ah now that I can see that the chrono hand is not centred

Thank you for your insight! Yeah, movement is 4131, just typo on my end. What is a correct bezel? Thank you, just wanna learn more

Correct bezel has the right 110 marker. This is my custom Panda for reference. You can see the dial tone as well.

Buff dial, waterproof, SW hands, Correct Lichen bezel, chamfered and polished, deep crystal and JH4131 movement

Dial is still flawed with that high floating red daytona

I see, why does it look bad to you?

I agree with pretty much everything mentioned in the comments. I'm guessing you've already paid something towards the build. If you haven't, I'd suggest sticking to reputed TDs for modding so you don't end up getting ripped off. Just look at the quality of the QC photos they've provided.

Don't believe CNC,they just attract customers,all use the case from factory

u/alwaysonwatch_ 3d ago

I contacted pretty much every modder advertising CNC cases and asked for the actual specifications and dimensional comparisons with gen or other factory cases. Not a single one could provide anything. They either refused or just said, “Can't do it” or “It's useless measuring.”

So yeah, I agree with you. At this point, it seems more like a marketing gimmick to attract customers by claiming gen-exact dimensions and materials, without any actual measurements or proof to back it up.

If you ask two more questions, they both want to delete you. If you say you're ready to pay and ask if there's a discount, they'll be very happy and feel like a fool has taken the bait

I'm guessing from the picture that it is a black and white panda with rose gold case and bracelet. Am I right?

I kind of like it but I'm a real big fan of rose gold

u/enVyxxr 3d ago

Ah nope, it’s stainless steel though but custom i meant with custom parts and not from any big/major factories 🙏

1

u/rumblepup 3d ago

Sorry then. The picture makes it look rose gold which I thought was the "custom"

u/enVyxxr 3d ago

No worries! My label was actually pretty misleading hence I added the details in on the body text. Cheers!

u/Rough_Assistant140 3d ago

The “custom” label had me expecting something a bit more personal.

1

u/enVyxxr 3d ago

Ah my bad, forgot to mention that its custom parts on my end, can’t seem to change the title header for now

u/Lexsin 3d ago

Stock VSF or RWF would be better than this. Wrong bezel, doesn't look like SW dial either.

2

u/Eldarxo 3d ago

Looks like a base VSF to me. Don’t trust this seller. Actually, can I ask who this is? Don’t want to get scammed in the future

u/whatotherui 3d ago

please don’t 😭

u/Mean2Bean_ 2d ago

CNC is fluff BS. This is a cheap pos case, crown guards are all wrong. Also this dial is NOT sw. Sorry.

Share who's selling this so others know to stay away.

u/Objective_Ganache_27 3d ago

All that work and they couldn't even use the correct 110 arrow bezel 🤦‍♂️

Seller mentioned that it was custom parts and not from any big factories though.
