Black Daytona 116500 GEN VS NOOB, Clean V2, BT V2, Full comparison

[Tony Clifton]

Hi’
I just bought a CF V3 black dial.
I am a newbie in this site.
So can you tell me if it is actually the CF V3 I see on the pictures?

Sorry mate, but this is a 116520 dial. Shiny subdials and different 5 liner text spacing.

Not that I don’t trust your judgment, but can somebody else in here please also confirm that this is NOT a CF V3 116500 black dial? I need to be 100% sure, before I go back to the dealer.

This is why I've lost interest in this hobby.

Delays and "errors" of TDs have increased so much, that I find impossible to consider these real mistakes.

This is only my personal opinion but, strange enough, in 100% of the errors I witnessed, TDs has an advantage, the "error" always results in trying to give an older or a less desiderable option to unaware customer.

The TDs are in it to make money. They have the advantage. There are some who legitimately make mistakes and others who don't. It's a shady business to begin with and then throw in the fact that it's illegal. It should make everyone wonder. You just can't blindly trust anyone.

Hi’
I bought a CF V3 116500 black dial.
And after many problems with the order, they send me the wrong dial at first, but now my new QC is ready, and I need to know if this is the right dial this time.
I am a newbie on this site. So I need help.
So can you tell me if it is actually the CF V3 I see on the pictures this time before I buy it?

They don't necessarily mean to make mistakes but it's on you to verify. After making some mistakes the first few times buying reps, I try to be super careful during qc with the dealer. Probably annoying for them but its my money

I ordered a black and white arf dial from trusty for my clean 116520. The white dial he sent me was correct but the black dial is for the 116500. Do you guys think the black dial is the clean v3? Its the closest to gen i have seen

Hey guys, awesome comparison and so much information! I was wondering what the deal is with the subdials? There are some shops offering the v2 but they state the two subdials at 3 and 9 will not work and there are others promising authentic functionality. Is there even such a thing like a replica with all working subdials? I was really trying to find more information but I'm straight out of luck. Thank you in advance!

Any Daytona with true 4130 clone movements will have full gen functionality.

I bought 3 weeks ago a BTF Daytona and i think the subdials font is very thin.
Bit disappointing

What have you done to the luggs?

 

[aHero]

What have you done to the luggs?

Those are just the factory stickers.

 

[pam00243]

What have you done to the luggs?

Nothing. I just removed the sticker. I never worn this watch

Bro, all the Daytona's with the Superclone 4130 movement are fully functional, the sub-dials at 3 and 9 o'clock and the chronograph seconds hand at the centre only run when the chronograph is switched on!

I think you're getting confused with ARF, which was a modified 7750 with frozen subdials.

These Daytonas in this comparison all feature the clone 4130 movement, fully functional.
