The movement inside This reference is built with either calibre. The choice changes the price, the rate and the reserve — nothing else about the watch.
| Base | Seiko NH35 or Miyota 8215, automatic | Swiss clone of the maison's own calibre |
|---|---|---|
| Rate | ±15 to 25 seconds a day | ±5 to 10 seconds a day |
| Reserve | About 40 hours | 55 to 70 hours |
| Balance | 21,600 A/h · six beats a second | 28,800 A/h · eight beats a second |
| Servicing | Any watchmaker can service it; parts are everywhere | Serviced by a specialist; finished as the original is |
| Suited to | Wearing daily, keeping simply, spending less | Matching the reference exactly, and glass casebacks |
The Swiss movement is $50 more. That figure buys the rate, the reserve and a movement that reads correctly through a glass back — not a different watch.
Which we would take. If it is to be worn every day and serviced down the road from you, the Japanese is the honest answer. If it has to survive a loupe against the reference — or the caseback is glass and the movement is meant to be seen — take the Swiss.
The exact base calibre for this reference is confirmed in writing, with the QC film, before anything is dispatched. The two movements, explained

In our words
Better Factory Daytona Specifications: Reference: 116500 Size: 40mm × 12.2mm Functions: Hour, minute, second, chronograph display Movement: 4130 Power Reserve: 72 hours Crystal: Sapphire Dial Face: White, black Material: 904L stainless steel Strap: AR factory steel bracelet Bezel Edge: Ceramic bezel with platinum coating Luminous: Swiss luminous coating Water Resistance: 100 meters Weight: 148 grams BT factory (better factory) produced by Rolex Daytona Nine Highlights: 1. The BT factory Daytona 4130 movement watch has a thickness of 12.2mm. Other versions on the market use a 7750 fake movement, which is thinned by pressing down the hand bar. The stability is extremely poor and cannot be consistent with the genuine product. 2. Using the 4130 movement (formerly N Dandong factory), the back plate features engraved and electroplated lettering for a brighter finish. 3. The steel bracelet uses the original AR factory. Furthermore, the clasp size has been upgraded again. 4. The case is manufactured by N factory according to the latest 2022 version, with updated case back polishing, size, and toothed edge curvature. 5. The hands are upgraded again by Buff factory; the three small and large second hands are all custom-made individually with solid sheaths and mushroom-shaped caps. 6. The ceramic bezel (Cerachrom) has been upgraded with platinum plating to maintain color, and the font thickness has been updated. 7. The dial face, based on the latest 2022 white dial, uses Swiss ink combined with Korean ceramic to achieve a thick, pure milky white color with no color difference from the original. This is a departure from the previously blackish "dead white" color on the market. 8. Each hour marker is individually CNC engraved, and each marker's edges are hand-polished. The luminous material uses Swiss luminous powder with no color difference from the genuine product. The final effect is the closest to the original's luminous visual effect on the market. 9. The glass is made of fully transparent sapphire crystal, with no visible edges. Currently, the edges of glass on the market appear rounded and thick. Only BT Factory's craftsmanship matches the genuine product in detail. BT Factory is a watchmaking company with 30 years of experience. Their ability to integrate numerous resources indicates excellent technical expertise and a strong network of connections. We welcome your feedback after receiving this factory's product and comparing it with the original. Thank you for your support!
