has anyone tried to change the glass? they tell me that the blue reflections on panda 116500 depend on the crystal and not on the dial.
I can try to put on Noob crystal...
Does anyone know if the steel on the CF Daytona has been tested to show it is indeed 904L steel?

Here is two “macros” of the clean 116500 and the noob v4 116500...
The main difference I’ve noticed between this two dials are as follows:
- “Clean” has a cold white dial that tend to blue, noob has a warm white dial but is not like cream, it is white.
- The “Clean” counters are more matt than noob and the black in certain light tend to somenthing like brown. On the “Noob” they are more shiny and black.
- text on “Clean” is thinner than “Noob” and I like it.. but the most of the gens 116500 I’ve had in my hand had the bolder text as the “Noob”
- The red of “Daytona” text is almost the same
- Hour Markers on “Clean” makes the opposite effect of the gen...I’ve noticed than on gen sometimes the hour markers could be whiter than the dial...on clean they are warmer..but the “white gold” effect is really good on “Clean”
Well said
What do you guys think of the spacing of the ‘40’ number marking at the 6 o clock subdial? I’m going things with a fine tooth comb and comparing with the the gen.
Notice on the gen that there’s minimal space between the 4 and the 0. Perhaps enough space for a few strands of hair to place in between.
Now compare that to the clean factory 40 marker. It seems like there’s quite a lot of extra space between the 4 and 0.
See pics below: one is watermarked Jtime. Other photo is a stock photo from the R factory website.

rockdaly sorry but text on noob dial is crap… the first thing people spoted on my noob v4 dial comparing with gen is 5 line text which was too bold
There are five batches of Noob V4 dial, I made a thread on it. Latest ones are correct for pre 2021 dials, the first ones were too bold.
As i know clean factory use deep crystal stock
I had deep crystal but it was not the same as CF Daytona stock crystal.
AR bracelet, buff hands, CF ceramic bezel is announced as topic of CF Daytona but crystal spec wasn’t mentioned.
Robi01 is correct, noob used the Ubuntu donut O on the dial. It screams rep more than any other dial variation to the point I changed out all 4 dials on my noobs
