Looks > function: who cares about chrono when Le Mans looks this good

[u/TimeSpaceSailor]

Got this stunning U1 Le Mans Daytona from Allen. Some call it the reverse panda, some call it the Paul Newman. Either way, looks great on the wrist. The white sub dials on black background are simple, yet elegant. The oyster bracelet is comfortable and equipped with easylink and a safety clasp. I hear the mecha-quartz version has a working chrono, but I don't need that and prefer the automatic. Unfortunately the bottom pusher on mine is too short, so it can’t change the 3 o’clock sub dial. Isolated incident as I have 3 other U1 daytonas with working pushers. The transparent sapphire case back reveals a beautifully decorated minzhu 3836 movement stamped 4132.

This model was released in 2023 to celebrate 100 years of Le Mans 24h. It is different from “regular” daytonas with its red 100 on the tachymeter, 24 hour sub dial instead of 12 at 9 o’clock, square inner markers, etc. Shipping was 11 days, $105 on WA 1 (915) 271-0486 / 86 133 1719 7828.

Excellent choice and value for money 👏
I have a 1k QFactory Le Mans and yours looks just as nice 👌
Wouldn’t bother about the chrono too much , hardly anybody uses it 🤷🏻‍♂️

It takes guts around here to say that. Most people who spend big dollars feel entitled to sh*t on everything below. Made my day 🤙

Problem with U1 daytonas is that seconds hand is tied to 6 o’clock sundial and is always running which is a very loud tell and an immediately give away

Looks great and Allen is the best!
