Bah, if you notice the hands of the sub dials are still too long, I don't think it's btf's v2 in this photo....

this BTF panda specimen has too thin counters. Mine on the way has them thicker. While CF continues to fill the counters with bold fonts, and this is something that immediately makes me think of the fake.

By bold you mean too white, whereas the gen and BTF have them more on the greyish side?

If I may ask, would you say the Black dial BTF subs are gen like in terms of shine and thickness? I seem to recall CF still being off on those two 'markers'. Thank you!

Let's say that maybe there is still an official photo of the v2 btf, also because it would not make sense to change the entire dial when you just change your hands ...

the characters in the counters are too present, the font is too vivid. So they always seem too full of writing compared to gen. With thinner writings, even the black and white detachment is better.

Black dial BTF is good, best choose. But gen is gen bro...

Gen ok, but the white dial with btf's hands is a great dial...I don't think there will be any problems with v2....I agree that black is done very well...

Sub dial hands are still a bit too long on BTF. Overall I prefer the BTF dial though.

I want to order dial for swap from Clean version 1, cause I dont like blue color. Why You find BT better than Clean v2? Subdials rather looks better on CF.

Ok I have read every comment from page 1 and my brain is more confused now that ever! LOL

Is the general consensus that BT is better (no pun intended) than CF? Especially if the V2 or P2 version fixed the subdial hands making them more 'similar' to gen?

And what about the black dial subdials? Does BT have the correct thickness and matte grey color as some members claim? Seems to me like the thickness is still off on both BT and CF as far as the black dial goes.

Thoughts appreciated.

There are some on these threads that will be able to answer this better than I. IMO, BTF makes a better black dial because of the sub dial size. And with their V2, the sub dial hands length will be correct. But I'm not the best to judge because I don't own a CF or any other version. The Panda CF has had it's fair share of issues. Hopefully they are addressed in V2. I don't know who has a better Panda version. But based on what I've read and seen here and on Reddit, I prefer BTF Panda over CF. Again, my humble opinion.
