BTF and Clean Panda daytona upgraded!!!

[Burbizia]

Hello friends, would like your input on this QC of a Black 116500 (BTF) regarding subdial hands.

I knew that CF V2 had long ones, but these seem long too...

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

 

[Stuessi]

kind of a noob question but can someone tell me what is the best currently available version of the steel bezel 116520 black dial? CF v2 or BTF or is there an update expected soon?

This is old v1 batch, subdial hands not corrected

Burbizia That BTF is V1 (long subdial hands). It's the same version I have. Quite honestly, it's barely noticeable on the wrist. That's a nice watch BTW. I would GL.

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

yes full origin

thanks!

I spotted long hands correctly.

Rejected, hoping for a V2 one.

I try not to be too picky but this is a problem it is hard for me to unsee.

Thanks to the forum for the help!

Guys, what I'll say here might have been mentioned before so don't jump on me for not going through endless threads blabla

I recently got my hands onto a BTF LN (didn't notice chrono hands length to see if V1 or V2) which had a big mistake and which I can see on Burbizia 's QC.

Subdial position or at least the black circles within the subial rings are badly misplaced. Check the black border line of the silver part of the subdials, it's not centered. In Burbizia's example, the 3 o'clock subdial ring border has a bigger gap in between the black circle on the left (or the 15-01 sub minute position) than on the right (01-15 sub minute)
On the 9 o'clock subdial the same mistake is there as well from 09-05
Lastly, on the small seconds subdial is even more visible between 40 and 15 lines.

These are not reflections of the small black rings. These are lines from the print on the silver subdial rings.

I got frustrated so bad because the whole watch is simply amazing on everything. But this thing was a dealbreaker

I'll try to upload a pic from my phone shortly

Notice on the 3 o'clock subdial the print starting being misaligned exactly on the 15th minute and on the 9 o'clock subdial how bad the print is between 3 to 6

Hello I have received my BTF V2 Black Panda QC.
I have specific questions regarding to the sundial print.


Is the printing at the 9 o'clock subdial supposed to be closer to the inner circle?
Based on the other people's qc, I saw their printings are closer to the inner.
Is this V1 or V2??

I think I found the same problem on my 6 o'clock subdial too, at the left side of 60

 

[SuperLory]

you guys are pretty nutz.. The one posted by Burbizia is a straight RL because the subdials are so fat and the hands so long

The one by KilltheDeath is a very good specimen indeed. If you can spot that "issue" you guys are seeing blown up on a 65" screen when the watch is on your wrist, you should get a refund from the TD..but I bet you wont see organic matter

You did right by rejecting, you should not accept a wrong batch when there is a corrected one.

I hate to see that they are still trying to pass older ones.

Amazing piece if it wasn't for the stupid misalignment on the subdials rings frame. It's visible in all 3 subdials... (easiest to see is in the 6 o'clock subdial exactly where the seconds hand is)

I think this one has the right printing of the 9o'clock dial. The 6 and 9 are closer to the inner circle.

it is misalignment or just reflection. Can’t tell. Would be good to have video with movement.

Can you kindly enlighten me on the 'misalignment'? I can't see it

I checked mine closely today.

It's not a hole or misalignment it is the light reflection.

Check posts #367-368 in this thread mate. I don't know how to describe it better
