Clean Factory New 4130 Daytona Dial Pictures Leaks

[Dayton]

My gen is a 2021, i dont see any change in the white color comparing it to older gens.

I don’t have the opportunity to compare with a 2021 gen as they are so hard to come by. Congrats on your gen!

I really wanted to get a black dial 116500 but gen is so ex and the CF subdials are way too fat.

Thanks bud, it was a short journey to get the gen, i have a great AD

People are always obsessing over these new Daytona releases, its been like that since jumped on this banwagon a couple of years ago

This new release is imo the best one so far, but when you put it next to the gen, its not going to hold up. And it shouldn't, its two different products.

Most of the people here who doesn't have a gen to compare with, is focused on tiny details in photos, but honestly, its not just the color, size ect. that's off, its EVERYTHING The gen just have a level of finishing and shine the rep doesn't. And again, that is to be expected.

I dont have a lot of rep watches left, but the ones i have always get a full "makeover" by my watch smith, repolishing, reshaping and usually gen parts.

I have a black one in the mail from Li, and that will get the full treatment including gen dial, hands crystal ect. Hopefully that will scratch my itch, until i get the call for a black gen

The most i like about this release is the case and lugs , it is all frankening with parts from there

I installed the 4130 movement of noob on CF case , installed gen 116500 dial , hands , and crystal , noob bracelet and ARF clasp

How does the CF dial compare to the ARF dial?

I am no pro, but as far i read is Clean Dial the best ever made.

The white one is very well done, the black one is useless

I absolutely confirm what 2841 writes, I was lucky enough to be able to see and try a 116500 panda 2021 gen…. unfortunately in reality it has nothing to do with my Daytona noob ....: ((

I got my Clean 116500 Panda 3days ago… first impressions:

- 5 lines of text very good but dial too white compared with my gen. The V4 Noob with the bold text had the closest dial colour to gen.
- The overall weight (by feel) is lighter than gen, have yet to weigh it. The Noob definitely feels better in hand.
- The case side profile is spot on. 95% compared with gen.
- The quality of bracelet screws are bad compared with even Noob. The first screw at clasp was slightly damaged during QC but didn’t get to see it until I received the watch. Furthermore, one of the bracelet screws was seized and I damaged it during removal. Overall or doesn’t seem like 904L steel.
- The winding crown ridges felt coarse and the screw in action seems short, as if the tube doesn’t have enough threads. Noob definitely feels better.
- Clasp closing action and feel better than Noob.
- Movement feels smooth during manual winding like Noob.

Overall, I feel it’s a good watch ootb but we are too picky because we had Noob before this. The dial, case profile and clasp much better than Noob but still flawed compared with gen.

The watch thickness is impressive, 12mm compared to Noob 12.5mm and Gen 12.2mm. I believe it’s partly due to thinner crystal gasket and partly due to better case profile.

Will post photos this weekend.

My bracelet screws look pretty good:



At first my bracelet felt light and a bit rattly, but washing with some soap and rubbing some baby oil/lotion into it improved it greatly. Now it feels smooth/weighty as it should.

So rubbing oil on it made it heavier…. :laughing:

lol…. I was like…. ehhh, I’m not going to risk scratching my gen watch just to see if the bracelet will fit nicely on the CF Daytona ????

No worries mate was just asking, ill order one myself then and try how the gen bracelet fits the rep case. Ill post some pictures when received.

when I look I see same size , or maybe a optic illusion because white makes it look biger

No they are bigger. U can see the subdial is closer to the index at 6’0 clock
