I got the panda btf v2 on the way but ya the 9 is close to the edge and not so thrilled about subdials thickness . Li told me they are all V2s from now on. In any event better judgement when watch is in hand

I'm waiting for QC next week, but if that were to be the case I think I'm going to the black dial, too many failing mistakes had all the material to fix them let's say!

this dial is a nogo, I do not understand why the dial was changed.
Just the hands and everybody would be happy.

Got it, I like both black and white, but I'm undecided because the black dial is really spectacular ... don't you say that CF is a great alternative anyway?

if your heat is set on the white dial, why not go Better Factory? If you get something you didn’t really want, you will probably end up regretting it. At least that’s been my experience. Buy what you want.

I got my qc pics for my btf black dial 2 days ago but I rejected as it was a V1 version with the long subdial hand. But to be fair, if it wasn't for the long subdial hands I would have accepted as the dial and bezel were good.

Received Panda QC from BTF factory this morning, acceptable for me. If the dial is not as good as I am expecting, I put in a 116519 dial.

I noticed on guru's QC pics the subdial hands are white while MFK100's the subdial hands are black. So not all white dial pandas with black ceramic bezel are exactly the same? I thought maybe that was based on the factory that makes them but they are both BTF.

Mate, it is the lighting. They are neither black of white, they are always silver colored.

I just got my QC for a black dial BTF Daytona, I'm not particularly impressed by the poor bezel and seconds hand alignment (minor things I can get fixed for cheap), however, what I can't really say I like is all the rehaut ROLEX engravings on the left side, they all seem to be off by a mm or so... so RL or GL? what do you guys think? Do the subdial hands look like V1 or V2? I personally can't tell...
