  • @canonyeo4286
    @canonyeo4286 6 років тому

    It would be a first if someone does an in-depth review comparing the Daytona with the GS Dragon chronograph which Ariel of ablogtowatch speak so highly of. For a start, it has 3 more complications and more decorated with superior finishing not to mention its much longer history. Yet, the Dragon cost a quarter of the Daytona's premium price.
    This kind of review would indeed be helpful for people who are into high horology beyond branding, but, of course, one need to be very knowledgeable, though it's hard to be in the league of Ariel who has handled tens of millions worth.

    • @watchfinder

      I've looked through and I see the part you mean. That's the just the bevel on the inner part of the 'N' reflecting the light back. If you look closely, you'll see that all the letters have a slight bevel rather being cut straight down, which is more pronounced on the 'N' because of the tight angle.

    I have a 116503. Feel your finger round the crown and the guard, then the
    pushers. Then, feel the edges. Now, i also have the Jade Dragon SBGC207. If you
    have one, repeat the same. Now, you can feel the difference between machine
    made watches and handmade watches. If you want to know what 'sharpness' mean,
    you compare it with a Grand.
    Also, my son get rashes wearing the Rolex but not the Grand. Strange!

    Is that a "high-end" 35mm camera there on your "workbench"? What brand? Do you have the high-end flash to go with it or just the cover for the mount? Do you normally keep your "high-end" photographic equipment laying around with no lens cover while you play with your watches and practice your knot-tying or was this just a "spontaneous" video you shot as soon as "your" Rolex showed up in the "mail" that caught you working on your Merit Badges for knot-tying and photography?
