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

Description
Better (BT) 4130 Daytona: A better factory, better quality, and a truly regal product! The best Daytona on the internet, produced by BT (Better) factory, a fine piece. Welcome to view! Better Factory 2022 Latest Daytona Specifications: Reference: 116500 Size: 40mm × 12.2mm Functions: Hour, minute, second, chronograph display Movement: 4130 Power Reserve: 72 hours Crystal: Sapphire Crystal Dial Face: White, black Material: 904L stainless steel Strap: AR Factory steel bracelet Bezel Edge: Ceramic bezel Platinum plating 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 according to the latest 2022 model, while the older model had 12.4mm. Other versions on the market, such as the 7750 fake movement, reduce the movement thickness by pressing down the hand bar. This results in extremely poor stability and cannot be matched with the genuine product. 2. Utilizes the 4130 movement (formerly the N Dandong factory), with a brighter finish achieved through engraving and electroplating on the case back. 3. The steel bracelet is from the original AR factory. Furthermore, the clasp's proportions have been upgraded. 4. The case is manufactured by the N factory according to the latest 2022 version, with updated polished back surfaces and toothed edges. 5. The hands are upgraded again by the Buff factory, with each of the three small and large seconds hands custom-made individually with solid sheaths and mushroom-shaped caps. 6. The ceramic bezel (Cerachrom) is upgraded with platinum plating to maintain color, and the font thickness has been updated. 7. The dial, based on the latest 2022 white dial, uses Swiss ink combined with Korean ceramic for a thick, pure milky white finish with no color difference from the original. This eliminates the previously prevalent "dead white" color. 8. Each hour marker is individually CNC-engraved, with each marker's edges hand-polished. The luminous crystal uses Swiss luminous powder with no color difference from the genuine product. The final effect is the closest to the original's luminous visual appearance on the market. 9. The glass is made of fully transparent sapphire crystal with no edge visual effect. Currently, the edges of glass on the market appear rounded and thick. Only BT factory's details and workmanship are consistent with the genuine product. Better factory is a watchmaking company with 30 years of experience. Their ability to integrate numerous resources indicates excellent technical expertise and extensive connections. We welcome your valuable feedback after receiving this factory's product and comparing it with the original. Thank you for your support!
