it looks like 121 to me.
See where the little index lines come down from the 120 to the black indexer with the 1 on it , that should not be at 120 you might want to change that to read 110
and then leave the 1 where it is on the black indexer.
 
The 100 was visible before using the black dial.
 
That looks like 121 to me. I would back it up all the way, find what i know is zero, give it ten turns to 100, study your marks, then add eleven.
And dont forget to unwind all the tension off before you put it away.
 
Glasses on. I know I’m a dummy. This is my only source for reliable info. How about this?
Now i know why all lugs took a turn...

I’ll re torque, and release pressure before stowing if i get the nod.
 
Man these modern cars. Only went to torque them due to a discussion on hellcat.org. The 2 piece monster Brembo front brakes make some kind of clicking sound. Mine don’t do that when moving. When coming to rest at a complete stop there is an occasional double click. Like some kind of reset or cycle. Does it once then not again til the next drive. I’m gonna call it a characteristic. For 21 the copper has been outlawed so the brakes are even larger to compensate. I think RC better go out to the garage and check on that new Daytona. I did use the socket he recommended to prevent scratches :).
 
All honesty anything around what they recommend is ok 10 over isn't going to hurt anything. Tighter is better then loose !
But your last picture looks like 111 to me !
