Clean Factory Daytona 116520 Black Actual Watch Detailed Pictures Sharing

It’s not identical. Your Clean dial was the previous one (left), the one on the right (from the sales link I posted above) is the current version. It’s a different dial. You see it on the subdial thickness and elements, like lines are different.

I have to admit I don’t know if this already called V4 or whatever. However, many times this dial was referred as V3.

In the end it’s irrelevant for you since you made the best possible upgrade

Yes, I didn't care about the dial since I had the gen APH

i have also ordered a black clean 116520, looks better, these are the QC i have accepted.

I think they are ok? looking at the black circles in the rings

With the back and forth regarding shiny/wrong subdial sizes and whether is was a v2/v3, can someone summarize finally if they believe the v3 to be of correct subdial size, color, and finish? I'm seeing a golden hue on the white and not the black, but both look great to my untrained eye.

For both v3 black and white dial, the subdial size and colour are corrrected already.

I have the v3 black dial. The subdial size is correct but are still shiny when compared to Gen however not nearly as shiny as they were before.

So I cared about this too until I saw this thread.

Good, but unfortunally Clean still woth wrong and fat subdials. They have made these more accurate and more small, but still with wrong dimension compared with gen and the difference imho it’s obvious.

The old and real “Noob” in their last version of 116520 (V4) make these with correct proportion and reflection in various light conditions. Unfortunally with the text of 116500. But this dial was very good. Here you can see the Noob dial with correct subdials proportion.

You are quoting a post that says he doesn't care. You are at microscopic level to determine over photos it’s of different size. It’s gonna be okay my guy, clean made a good watch here and it’s nice to have a decent current option. Witch hunt with an out of date reference isn’t needed in response to a dude saying he doesn’t care.

I actually think the subdials on this noob dial are a bit thin. See below the gen dial on the 116520. I also compared it with my clean 116519LN. Although being different models, the subdials are the same size. I believe the subdial sizes don’t have variations only their shininess and textures.

Mate, i think that i’m in this hobby business since great old days now.

I had modded and own some watches in the years and i’ve personally make some frankens, so i think that i know what i write

I had 116520 BP, JF, JF 23j, ARF, Noob, and Clean V2, Clean V3. The only one that had a good subdials was the BP, but unfortunally have a central hole diameter too large. At the second was Noob.

Clean has good dial, but personally gen watch and clean V3 in hands can spot the thing that i mean pretty easily, like CG’s and chromy and small pushers.

Is not “picture reference”, it’s real font of watch that’s different in subdials dimension, appearance and color.

Saying the differences are "obvious" is subjective, and the post you quoted was from a dude that said he didn't care. It seems like the only thing to make you happy is gen, so that's what I recommend for you. Every rep will be with flaws, what has been said in these 40 pages is pretty complete.

Amazing comparison!!
For this price, i am satisfied with the v3.

 

[Thewatchwolf]

V2 bezel was also better than V3. The V3 bezel is flatter compared to the gen which has a more rounded appearance. Also bezel engravings are not as deep in V3 as they are in V2 and Gen. Bezel swap looks like a great option in this situation.

Exactly

v3 black dial is the best so far from the v1 & v2 definitely, however it needs improvement the sub dials they are still a bit bigger
and on the bezel the fonts is too thin and the shape is wrong it doesn't have the curvature of the genuine.

Exactly! The black internal diameter of subdials it's a bit different (a bit bigger in the genuine) and also the distance between subdials and inex of he dial are less in the genuine dial and this means that subdials of clean are larger. Unfortunally those things and shiny chromy dial, and external diameter chrome ring (that is a bit large compared with gen) penalized Clean dial.

Does anyone know where to come across a gen bezel besides eBay?
