I am definitely going to buy a Black Daytona Clean V3, but now the hard part is finding the right TD who can get one and deliver it to the UK.

And the text below Rolex is still what we'd expect from a 116520?

Do you think BTF will bring out an improved version in the near future? I would hate to buy the CF V3 and then a few weeks later BTF bring out an even better version.

Welcome to the rep world brother
If you look like this you can wait a years for a right rep and there will never be perfect one
It is always same story all the time in this world
Go with cf v3 and do not think too much, v3 black dial is extremly good watch, once you have it in your hands you will be blown away by the quality

When did they release the V3 Clean? I didn’t even know that was out.

I have only just joined to forum, so bare with me

It’s not even an official v3 from CF. It’s a quiet update.

Thanks a lot for this review Steve, the Clean is far better than I thought compared to the BT... I may buy the both to make a mix of them!

Best going through a Trusted Dealer mate.

There’s a thread dedicated to them.

I’ll post a link below.

Just got the BT V2 and I’m disappointed by the sub-dial
way too shining. Not even close to genuine and a very cheap feeling overall (speaking of the sundials).

everything else is amazing. Renault in particular looks 99% gen. Way better than any other replicas.
Pushers still look a bit too long too.

Will ask JD if he could malke the sundial a bit more Matt,
a shame that such a central. Part of the watch is not properly done

Sourcing the v3 clean dial would be best idea but it is hard theese days to source parts only
Only if you have very good conection with some dealer

Pretty great momentum seeing Clean and BT push NOOB out of the way in terms of accuracy despite NOOB historically being the king here in Daytona land. Is it the same on the panda dial? IMO, I think the Clean v3 "silent" update is likely the most accurate based on my due diligence, it just kills me that no matter what... we cannot get the "Daytona" red paint/text to look more gen-like. WTF?!

Anyone in hand w/the Clean - I think it looks better than BT but how bad is the delta IRL? Even better, if you've seen the white dial panda as well, do you think the black has eclipsed in terms of quality?

I wouldnt pick CF just for new dial. BTF has a perfect case compared to CF or any other. You can always change the dial when CF or BTF releases a better one.
