BTF and Clean Panda daytona upgraded!!!

[mmaggi]

I'm not quite sure about that. Look at the 12 o clock. and then the rehaut. The rehaut is slightly misalignet. I have a watchsmith to fix the bezel misalignment since I'm putting a gen Xtal on it but the problem is the rehaut. You can center the rehaut mostly.

I looked at it again. I respectfully disagree. There is nothing wrong with the rehaut.

thing to watch out for in these BTFs is a misaligned crown, bezel nothing a watchmaker cannot solve

Received BTF. But lugs needed some work but now it looks pretty good to me with sharp lines and angles.

Mate before mods it had issues … mods took several hours but it’s decent case as a base.

You are right, experimented with markers which are really badly finished… will be replacing them with Gen markers.

What were the issues you saw?

Mainly right lug tips and also finishing of lug surface on all 4 lugs (uneven reflections). Here is picture of case before mods.

Also in my opinion BT case is way better then CF… SEL fitment and CGs shape are biggest factors.

I understand,stock btf are simply awfull, maybe you couldve install clean markers, they are decent and not far from gen

Lots of tools mate but no buffing wheels as the ruin sharp lines … only diamond paper and home made lapping jig.

Guys, new try: I would love your opinion! This time I think the rehaut is perfectly aligned. Bezel is a little bit off but I don't think it would be a problem. My watchsmith will align it. What do you think of the dial? Or the markers on the Bezel? I would like your honest opinion.

Swapped out the crystal on my Clean v1 tonight, and wow... Pretty significant difference! The dial now has a very crisp white pop to it and no more bluish tint. No more double bevel on the crystal edge... I feel this is the way this watch was truly meant to be.

Think this was the best 20 min I've spent on watch stuff in a long time!

Show us pictures
we really need true comparison to proove this, we need two v1 dials side by side with stock and new crystal installed, without that we will never be 100% sure
