Clean 126500 Daytona review

[SOLEX]

The dial is definitely updated on mine, bezel is the same. Might be hard to see in pictures but very obvious in person. The subdials are now a bit thicker which gives the rings a darker appearance.

Jan 2025 on left vs summer 2024 on right:

Yes you can definitely see a difference. Is this truer to gen on the latest version?

Been going back and forth with the factories, but my gut tells me CF is still the one to go with and this update might be the dagger

I thought this was already done as an update… what I did notice though is a slight difference in thickness between subdials on the same dial in the past

One is March 2024 (SH4131), one is February 2025 (DD4131). Subdial indeed seems thicker on the new version - I didn't realise it until just now.

The black dial has received an update too. The old one had a bit of a slope or ramp on the inner part of the subdial rings (where the silver meets the black). This gave the subdials a bit of a concave appearance. Also, the tops of some of the numbers were slightly cut off. On the updated one, the silver subdials is completely flat, and the numbers are not cut off.

And for comparison, here’s Clean left and BTF right:

which version is closer to gen?

Guess VS competition pushed to stealth update. Bezel is a little better but compared to BTF still a little deep and close to edges. Wish they had updated subdial color a bit.
