Daytona 126500 Panda Comprehensive Comparison(Gen,Clean,VSF,APS,QF)

Another fantastic thread from @steve_theonewatches

The wrong red hue for the "DAYTONA" text is rough, but I overall prefer APS from these options.

Agree with you “Daytona” text and markers are off, otherwise APS should be the winner

The "Daytona" texts are off but what's worse is the APS's unrounded hour markers. They look like cardboard pieces stuck on and there are 11 of them around the dial. Worse tell than the wrong red color imo.

That and the thinner texts. My vote is for Clean. I’ve owned 6 different reps from CF, no complaints so far.

VSF is obsessed with skinny lugs and crown guard

Wow great comparison

Thank you as always for these comprehensive comparisons. Clean with a DD4131 takes the cake for me.

Waiting on the black dial comparison!

I'm torn between the Clean and VSF. The movement being the biggest deal. Is the DD4131 that much better than the SH4131?

I didnt see too many people with issues on the CF4131 so given the High numbers sold i think they are fine

Its mostly for gen part swap compatibility for me. Both are great movements though.
