is this a modified daytona?

from ebay, described as factory dial.
however, i believe the white dial models on the 116520 gen strictly silver subdial borders, not black.

this dial seems to be from the current 500 gen, yes?

i actually like this combo.

My best guess is when they say the dial is factory they mean it’s authentic but just not to that model

Given the source (unknown, posted on ebay) once it’s been open modified, I’d stay far away

I know but was using it as a reference. seems like the black sub dials are used currently with the black bezel other wise it's silver or matching PM. thought it was interesting.

Looks awesome. But I’d really wonder what happened to the DaytonaC with no dial? Is it really authentic?
