BTF 126500 LN Daytona with DD4131 Movement!

You're not happy with the BTF dial?
It would be better to simply buy a CF or there's some advantage to keep the BTF base?

The thing is I've stared at way too many pictures and simply cannot unnotice the subdials now
I think Clean takes it in aesthetics, but the movement seems to be worse than BT and VS
VS has issues with markers and some finer details
BT has an issue with the subdials
Crystal not important to me, I swap all with Deep
Easy to tell which one gen and BTF here : hint look at the space between the number and the ring
I agree with you about the sub dials, but I wouldn't replace the BTF dial with a CLEAN. I understand if you were talking about the white panda dial then you were right. but in the black dial... instead what did you notice in the new 126500 SBF-VSF? I think that at the moment that black dial has nothing wrong with it... in the vsf thread there is a comparison between vsf and clean in some photo of another user... in this photo of the vsf what do you notice that is wrong?

Look at the marker length. It's too long. Compare the 6 marker on that VS versus Clean or BT.I agree with you about the sub dials, but I wouldn't replace the BTF dial with a CLEAN.

Look and compare the marker shapes to gen....
Lastly look at the bezel vs Clean.....
If you dont notice it then go ahead and buy VS. But once you see it like me....

Can you post a side by side of what’s bothering you? BTF + gen, not BTF and another fake. Like do it with those little red lines that those assholes on Reddit use. Posting massive blurry pics doesn’t help as you can’t see both at the same time, and you’re just enlarging pixels which doesn’t show more detail than if it were smaller.

Indeed, from my point of view the subdial need to be thinned a bit from the inside, but number placement is perfect unlike clean who's a tad too thin so it makes the numbers being eated by the outter ringThe thing is I've stared at way too many pictures and simply cannot unnotice the subdials now

I think the easiest way to tell for the BTF is looking at the gap between the subdial numbers and inner/outer ring. On the gen they almost kiss the subdial rings. On BTF there is a tiny gap between the two. I'll try and post pictures when I get home

Ah, gotcha.
So first off, I think it’s the size of the numbers / font / printing more than the thickness of the sub dials.
Then we’re going to need the light coming from the same direction, picking up the same amount of highlight and dark reflection on the edges of the subdials to make an accurate comparison. The reason being that that accounts for around 10% of the ring thickness - and neither of the above comparisons have it.
Either way - see how it is on the watch when you get it before you go running around swapping an imperfect dial for another imperfect dial.
I know we're all waiting for the @CTime comparison Gen / CF / BTF / SBF

I have the black CF 126500 and in my opinion the color of the subdials is way better on the BTF.
The CF has a gold color under different light. With the 116500 it was the opposite. Clean was better

Can you tell which is clean and which is VSF? Just curious
In this pic is kinda easy due to the crystal, the top one is the VSF with the fewer reflections.Can you tell which is clean and which is VSF? Just curious
