BTF and Clean Panda daytona upgraded!!!

[VG87]

I have a V3 noob LN with V4 dial and KJ bezel paint mod and I recently got a V1 CF panda. I was kinda annoyed at the blue notes everyone is talking about so I swapped the CF "engine" to the noob case and vice versa. Couldn't be happier for the outcome of both watches. Even the gritiness of the cf crown went away as it looks like it's bonding more with the noob tube.

I can easily say the blue hints on the panda went away (or very much minimized if you will) and the LN became more "subtle" as it should.

Shoot out your thoughts!

Hello, my friend, how are you?
you made a great buy in swapping the two! looking at the photos, in some positions and different brightnesses, it seems that the panda takes on a whiter color than before, in any case an excellent dial.

the cf v1 case isn't that much better than the noob, you won't even notice big differences on the wrist.

p.s. your LN noob watch face is crazy!

enjoy them

How do these 4130 movements compare to the Noob 4130 movements? is one better than the other?

The new 4130 movements are made by the same factory (Dandong) as the noob 4130 movements. Apparently there might be a slight difference in the engraving since that isn't done by the movement manufacturer.

Is it possible to still get the CF V1 from any of the TDs?

Appears v.2 of the Clean Panda and Black Dial 116500 are on Puretime now. Any thoughts about the black dial? At first glance, it appears they may have corrected the sub-dials?

You can ask if they have older stock, but curious why you would want v1?

I heard V1 has a better dial than V2. All that you really need to change would be the crystal and crown

The clean v2 is the best panda dial around, the btf has the best case.
this in an objective way.

then, subjectively, you should "look" yourself at v1 and v2 and decide which one you prefer, and above all with which defects you can live better!

hearsay is like playing on the wireless phone, man. there are pages after pages to make you a feast of useful information for the purpose of your choice

True, they messed up the V2 dial.

I like the thinner clearer font of v1 more along with the subdials and the Daytona text Color (not as bright bright red as v2).

v2 text looks too thick, although it is also accurate. The subdial numbers are too close to inner edge. And the Daytona is way too bright and thick.

V1 with a proper crystal is awesome.

Is this an unmodified BTF Panda? If so, looks great as is.
