I can still say JF with 21J was the most accurate version of 116520. (with Noob bracelet.)

I dont think so. The Rolex superlative chronometer bla bla priunt was much better on the ARF. Maybe for early 116520 the JF subdials were better but compared to latest black 116520 gen dials the ARF V2 was/is spot on...

Unfortunately it is not. Both black and white ARF dials use the wrong "Daytona" font of the 116500 models instead of the Serif style 116520 lettering. A minor flaw you probably can not see without a loupe, but not "spot on".

Thanks but this refers to the 116500 and not on the 116520 right? So actually the only real flaw ist the subdials on the ARF being a fraction of a mm thicker...right?

No the "Daytona" on the ARF 116520 dials has the wrong font.

Here is a picture of an ARF V2:
And here a GEN:

It is a subtle difference, but it is there. The "A" in Daytona is totally different.

Thanks a lot! Having a black dial is an advantage as it will be less visible. As you said very minor flaw buit it's there.

Tony, there are 7 different kind of 116520 dials… the mk7 chromalight doesn’t have serifs in the Daytona word…

Guys, sorry: as far as you know is possible to put a gen dial and a gen bezel on the clean factory 116520?

This image montage is problematic. The ARF dial (right side) is slightly larger scaled than the one on the left. This is clearly visible in the minute printings. This makes the subdials appear equally fat, although they are fatter on the left.

Just compare the two pics I posted, left and right.

But the pic u posted it's not same size , right size the watch little bit small

after what has happened in recent months, after 116500 Ln white Noob v4 have been sold in the world as originals with cases perfectly engraved in the serial, excellent bracelets and a white V4 dial of great quality, today it is logical that the factories insert in the new batches of gross errors (such as engraving 116503 on the clean or the wrong small parts as in the last 116520) but now, unlike the first clean it presented a case almost identical to the gen, a wonderful bracelet, a FEAR steel bezel, a FORMIDABLE Panda dial. I would say that for 750 usd it is a more than acceptable compromise. we don't have to go on and sip and scrutinize mistakes. clean has come up with a great product. stop

are you saying that the first CF version was better than this latest updated CF version?first clean it presented a case almost identical to the gen, a wonderful bracelet, a FEAR steel bezel, and doesn't the latest updated CF version have the exact same features you described?

It’s been confirmed many times now here and next door that the subdials of the CF dial for 116520 black & white are too fat. And the initial assumption that CF uses ARF dials could not be confirmed.

So what exactly is your point here?

Hello everyone!

I just recieved QC Pics for a white Clean Daytona 116520. Have a look at the link below and let me know what you guys think? I was trying to compare with same model from Noob but tbh I can't really tell the diffeence.

Sorry mate but you might want to read the rules about posting QC pics and remove yours before a mod does it for you
