Already done in another thread...
The problem, or more accurately the mistake that these Replica Dial makers continue to make is using the same Sub-dial thickness for both the White Panda and the 116500 Black Dials.
I would guess that they use the same die to stamp both dial blanks before the color is added. So they would need a new die for the Black Dial.
ARF has the same problem. Noob got the thickness right near the end, but the Sub-dials continued to be too shiny.
The Sub-dials on both Gen 116520 dials and on the Gen 116500 Panda are all the same thickness, but the Gen 116500 Black Dial has thinner Sub-dials with a matte finish.

Sorry if I ask this stupid question, is the movement that noob and clean are using dandong 4130? According to many threads saying noob and clean are using the exact same movement

Great reply thank you.
So basically all the black dial 116500s are off... Until they fix the stamp... Better off not waiting then most likely.
Interesting to see how the sels fit the lugs. Almost as the lug is shorter

anyone pre-order the 116520? Li said he should get them next week. My main concern is the subdial width but if the poster on the previous page is correct, the width on the 116520s should be correct in both white and black dials. not sure if I should just pre-order now, given that CNY is coming up and the potential for shipping delays/raids that come along with that.

Yep. Here's a comparison, on Noob not gen but still illustrates pretty well the difference in shape:

Am not gonna be one of the first to order the 116520 either, but will definitely order, eventually.
The stock pic on JTimes website is gen, so curious, like others, to see some actual pics before comitting/ordering.
Hopeful for 2022 though :thinking:

I’m too waiting for real world pics of the 520 as the ceramic looks like a toy! Hopefully the dial print is good on the white dial. I suspect it might have an ARF dial which would be ok with me but we’ll see next week when Li has one in hand.
