Clean new 126500 white and black dial comparison with GEN

[m5smg2]

I think that you misunderstand what he is saying...

- The design and shape of the SELs is different than the 116500s in the area circled in this picture... not the Watch Case.
.

Ah, sorry missed that. Thanks for the clarification. Nice illustration BTW. Thanks

Yesterday I also received my 126500 Panda from CT.

Guys, this is the best Daytona Rep I've ever gotten my hands on. Of course, there are deviations from the original somewhere at 100x magnification. But even from a distance of 30cm it's impossible to recognize something like this with the naked eye.

The movement runs inconspicuously and you can hear the rotor noise when you hold the watch to your ear. The bracelet is great and I can't see or feel any difference to my Gen 116203 when I wear it.

Overall: No matter what V2, V3 or the following could improve, with this watch OOTB you are absolutely right. And one more thing: Chazingtime has done a great job. No watch has ever been delivered so quickly.

Looks very nice! Which version is this?

love the white one!!!

I can't believe how good the stock crystal is, No need to upgrade imo.

Why did I only look at this thread again today?
Up until then I had convinced myself that I would wait for a V2 or V3 release before buying the Panda.
Now, after all the pictures & comparisons, I had to order one

AR+ Daytona. I really like the dial color of these vs the CF. Nice and warm. CF coming soon. I'll post comparison pictures

In fact, when comparing the AR+ and CF, the dial of the AR+ appears to be a milder white. It appears somewhat matt and looks harmonious. Well, you can disagree about the rest - the movement first, of course. I think it will not cause bigger problems. But visually, the difference is otherwise minimal.

Just received my panda with deep crystal mod, first impressions are great, overall quality feels good.
Winding feels good but isn’t as smooth as the dd4130 from my clean and btf Daytonas.

Also received my tungsten meteorite build which has more of my attention

I’ll be testing the power reserve on the 4131, SH4130 and DD4130. Will post results at the end of the week. Interested to see if it’ll go close to 75 and 72 hours. I’m guessing it won’t without a service.

Nice man, can you please show us more pictures with deep crystal, outside, inside, on different lights…
Btw for the power reserve i have already tested and it passed 70 hours without manual winding, just with wearing it LOL

Hello everyone please check your caseback is tight. While I was removing links and I was able to unscrew the caseback with just my fingers… no tools.

 

[Guiltycat]

While it’s opened I might try fit the transparent caseback on.
The new movement loooks pretty nice

 

[Guiltycat]

Fits without issue and no gaps between case and caseback.

Not everyone’s cup of tea but I enjoy looking at the watches movement

 

[scarface1926]

hello, is the one watch with SH4130?

 

[scarface1926]

if so can you take a picture of the movement

 

[Guiltycat]

hello, is the one watch with SH4130?

Bottom one is cleans 4131, top one is btfs dd4130
I haven’t opened the one with the sh4130 because I didn’t have any reason to

Thanks so much for checking and posting this!

- A few weeks when you asked, someone posted saying that the 116500 and 126500 Casebacks were different and these Transparent Casebacks would not fit. Glad to hear that they were wrong.

- I ordered one of the last DD4130 Clean V3 116500s. I also ordered this same Transparent back from OfficialTime for it. They say on their website that it is made in Japan, but tracking shows that it is being shipped from China. For all I know, the one from Germany is also from China and they charge even more for it. As long as the quality is good, it will be going on a Chinese watch anyway.

-Nice to know that it will also fit a 126500 if I ever want to get one of those.

The caseback styles look different but the threading and inner diameter seems to be the identical . I got mine from officialtime in 2022.

I asked them first if it would fit on the 126500 before I attempted fitting.
Although I found the inner model number on the caseback to be different, it still fit nicely

Took some photos when it just finished raining outside. Tried to get more angles for you.
The movement engravings look nice out in the light.

What mod did you install in the caseback?
