Yap, I saw your post, was sad to see it frankly.

So thought about what matters to me more.
Better sync subdial with smuged crown
vs
lesser sync subdial with better crown

I will take the first for a ‘while’.

I will even go with 4802move to cut the price.

Wait for who ever gets the best V2 and buy another one. (and sell this one)

In short I will go with interim solution that has best subdial.

It's BTF crystal, I actually think it's passable out of the box, but for sure Deep will be swapped in eventually, I need to order it and visit my watch maker, I also need to realign the bezel
How does the BTF crystal on this compare to your Ghost? Guessing ours will be similar considering we've pretty much got them at the same time.

Right on the money. Get what you like most now and enjoy it. If something else comes around that is better enough to justify getting it, sell and replace.

That's the perfect mindset for the rep game.

Compare this btf pic with qc pic of vsf bro
Bro, I also saw that picture.
That picture is a total scam.

In the picture, the watch size is not 1:1.
But the sub dial thickness was 1:1 is ... LoL

The green line has exactly same length. as you can see, on BTF it is only black bezel size but for clean, it goes the metal ring part.
This proves that BTF photo is little bit smaller than cleans photo (unless they have really that smaller size)

It might seem like small metric, but that is the whole reason what fools someone that BTF subdial has same thickness as clean.

So after all this speculation it turns out the black dial has the same size subdials as clean? Lol

Sorry, but that's not how this works... It's not a "scam", it is distortion.

Different Cameras with different lenses or different focal lengths can distort the pictures.
If the angle of the Watch is not exactly flat and square, the picture will also start to distort.

The outer diameter of the Sub-dials is always the same. It is the inter diameter that some Dial Suppliers get wrong.
I size the different photos to align the outer diameter of the Sub-dials to the red guild-lines.
The extra red guild-line at the inter diameter is there to illustrate the difference in thickness.

This is why other Members are hoping that some TD's will make more comparison pictures using the same Camera, Lighting, Angles, etc.

anyways i dont think btf have thicker subdials than gen, maybe but like a 0.01mm

Just my opinion, but after comparing the best pictures that I have seen so far, on my 5k iMac Pro...
I would say that the Clean and VSF Sub-dials are very close to Gen, but the BTF are slightly thicker.
