Is this movement supposed to be better than DD4130 that clean, noob, and btf uses?

 

[domiffm]

The finish of the movement looks horrible. And not to mention the black dial

More competition is good!

Hopefully we're seeing more 116520's as well

If its the same quality as the sh3135, then I'll stay thousands of miles away from this movement.

Seems like the dial markers are matte silver color... not shiny

Very interesting to see a new movement. Identification is easy compared to the DD4130. But it’ll be good to see a full part by part teardown and comparison with the Dandong 4130 (paging @CTime).

72 Η has been proven?

 

[kiasunkiasi]

my Clean Panda is getting about 67 hours, not far behind this so-claimed 72 hours

not sure about that. Even the hands look matte... That's probably a polarizer filter on the camera

@CTime would be interesting to see the BTF, Clean and APSF panda dial side by side to check how this new entry compare with blue-hue Clean and snow-white BTF dial in the same shot.

At least APSF put the effort to differentiate the CORONET of the black-white dials as per gen lineup.

Cant speak about the movement aesthetic, im more into performance and reliability.

 

[daytona4130]

is the bezel interchangeable with gen or it still use the old system like the 116520? (without steel ring between crystal and bezel)

 

[Marius13]

Regarding the movement I was looking at some of the photos of the watch listed on Intime, and I must say that the finishing of the movement looks much better than Dangdong / Clean / BT. And an additional detail which can be important for some, the APSF movement has a serial number engraived on the mainplate, like the gen movement.

 

[Stas Roblev]

Does anyone know if the APSF 116500 has an ARF bracelet, like Clean and BTF?

 

[Anto.94]

I order this for a friend of mine.
The watch is not bad, IMHO case, bracelet and SELs is better than Clean or BTF
Dial and bezel not the best
Movement has better finish and buttery winding than Clean

It seems they can never get these pushers right :/
