The term you are looking for is lume. The little plots of the markers are filled with luminsence materials which glow. Depending on mixture of lume and binder and other factors it can result in the color you are seeing. Hope this helps.
I agree the black dial looks amazing on pic but IRL it doesn't pop as much as the white dial. I got the white dial first and decided to get a black dial after seeing all the black dial pics here that look fantastic. But IRL I find myself enjoying white dial more. YMMV
I think the 1st batch had yellowish markers, correct subdial thickness & correct coronet. Clean must have realised it is too close to gen so they have made it worse so we all buy v2 v3 v4 etc. They think we are stupid
Thanks for your post, confirming that the color of the lume (yes, that was the term I was missing) is better on the gen.
I noticed the difference in bezel batches as well. But from pictures. Seems to me that earlier batches share the same bezels with BTF which have shallower and narrower markers. But I think the narrower and shallower ones are more gen likeLadies and gentlemen,
As announced, the second 126500 white arrived today, as various things bothered me with my first copy, in particular the rotor, which has been clearly noticeable as soon as the watch is moved.
First of all, I deliberately ordered from two different TDs.
Today I received my 2nd copy. Exactly 42 days passed from order to delivery. To be fair, I ordered a watch maker service directly with it, which also took some time.
What is quite obvious to me is that there seem to be small differences in the batches. The clearest difference is the bezel, which is significantly more shiny on the second model and has a significantly better filling. You can clearly see this on the pictues.
Unfortunately, the flaw, which really bothered me on the first copy, is also visible on the second copy. Unfortunately, it doesn't come across the way in the pictures, but the color difference between the dial and the markers is noticeable. While the dial has a nice pure white color, the marker have a yellowish tone to me. Although I haven't been able to hold a genuine 126500 in my hands yet, I can't imagine that this fact will be noticeable with the real deal.
Funnily enough, the bracelet feels a bit more valuable on the first copy, also in terms of the noise when it is closed and opened, but fully ok with the 2nd copy as well.
Winding and setting the watch is a clear difference from the second example. The watchmaker service pays off this time it seems. The watch can be set much better and the crown can be moeved much more smoothly.
In summary, for me the 126500 in white is still one of the most beautiful models in the current collection. I stand by my statement that no one will recognize that it is a copy while wearing the watch on your wrist.
But I also have to say very clearly that you will recognize the differences as soon as you hold the watch in your hand and look closely at it. The finish is of course not the same as on a genuine one (not well-placed indices everywhere, the color mismatch with the dial and the bracelet in detail).
But still, I enjoy the watch.
I will report about its accuracy soon, as well as whether the rotor will be noticable again after some time.
If you have any questions, get in touch, pictures attached.
I was under the impression that the end links for the 126500 had not been released yet?
I greenlight this one today. I ordered the Oysterflex and the endlinks and CTime will install it before shipping.

Mine didnt fit, it was sitting too low, too much recessed from the lugs, huge step down
From which of our Trusted Dealers did you order ?Hi everyone, a few days ago I ordered a clean panda and today the seller sent me the photos... I have a doubt: the numbers and the writing on the bezel are definitely more marked both compared to the gen and the photos present on Chazing Time, what do you think? In your opinion, should I accept it?

If you're saying what I think you're saying, the rep bezel engravings is deeper than gen, this is a known rep issue, not a QC issue please compare here :Hi everyone, a few days ago I ordered a clean panda and today the seller sent me the photos...

1. The crown loose off the stem sounds like an easy fix. Remove stem, screw and tighten the crown securely and refit stem. Or your watch guy should be able to do this in few minutes.
Yes. Just remove case back. In winding position, find and gently push in the little pin hole stem release button while pulling out stem.
