BTF subdials look too thick, again

BTF subdials look too thick, again

Side by side, you can actually see this

And I wonder if the engravings in BTF are shallower (as per gen) or if that's just lighting

When I compare to gen pics I find the clean subdial too thin and the BTF more accurate lol

You may be right!!

Lol
Maybe I should have waited before buying the 116500 BtF

With those BTF subdials, the thickness is ok

Or not...

Clean new 126500 white and black dial comparison with GEN

Hi everyone We finally finished this comparison, thank you guys for waiting. Here let’s talk about the mainly differences between 116500 and 126500. 1. The case shape is different, it looks like a bigger 116509. 2. The end links are also like 116509’s, but sit slightly lower(126509 also...

Here we go....

I can't really describe it but the BTF subdials look smaller? and thicker than the Clean ones and I think the Clean ones are pretty close to gen.

On this picture we can see the number 9 is eaten, too thin subdial

Anyway, it's always been like that with daytona rep, remind me the noob era

 

[muiramas]

Subdials are fine. Wtf.

More concerned with the greeny lume. Esp on the white dial. Need more pics.

I was just quoted 3500 RMB from a non TD

@CTime we need tour beautiful side by side comparison

Gen vs CF vs VSF vs BTF would be a must

I keep dreaming

The Gen 10 is being eaten too then. I think today in the year 2024 we are learning how lighting can differ between two different photos.

Qui tente rien n'a rien

 

[MaximillianGT]

That's not bad at all! I think we might have to spend some time struggling between this and the Clean.

That is low…. Wow

 

[aHero]

That is low…. Wow

Normal price I’d say from non TD

Normal price I’d say from non TD

$480 for a high end Daytona is cheap even for a non TD. Usually more around the $600 mark. Or I need to change dealer

In the end it will be a matter personal preference (and price). Personally, looking at the pics that have been shared so far of the black dial version, I like the clean better. The bezel (again?) looks better and the subdials appear to be too fat on the BTF (re-again?). Maybe the ones on the CF are slightly thinner than gen but I'd personally rather have slightly thinner subdials than the opposite on a 12 series.

Also, Clean nailed the panda IMO so it will be hard to do better.

Now on price considerations, I still think that CF will drop its price to be more competitive if BTF and VSF remain agressive on pricing with the final version of the DD4131.

*conspiracy hat on*

vsf and clean are colluding again big mafia style similar to the Datejust 41 if you want the perfect rep you need to buy both and combine them

And unironically it's the same combo

Clean case + dial + bezel
Vsf movement + crystal

I'm having dejavu all over again
