I was told that BT is just trying to move stock since Clean lowered their price, Clean and BT is the same price, they're not selling as much, so they reduced BT price to compete with Clean.

Also, I have this watch on order right now. I don't particularly love the green hands but a all brushed, stainless steel, no crown guard, fully lumed white panda "ADG" variant was too much for me to resist


Is this a silver-colored version of the "Adam Levine Neon Daytona" from ADGF?

Looking very much forward to your review on this - please let me know!

There‘s something about this new black dial that’s just so captivating, for me it grabs the eye and draws it into every detail of the dial in a way the white dial can’t. IMO the white dial looks empty and flat in comparison. Black is the clear winner for me in this model, at least in photos anyway. Brilliant photo btw you’ve captured the details of the watch incredibly well here 👍🏻

its an old limited italian batch.
i also have a build dedicated to the former ARF class, dial and bezel on clean base and jubilee if your search it back, that one needed to be heavily modded to fit the 4130 but worth it, love ARF finish, colors, print crispiness.

Ah ok it’s the old ebay “italian” dial bused on JF7750 font.

That’s why i’ve recognized it in somethinh “old”.

This have a bit large central hole and you can see easily brass hand wheel and can be recognized from it.

I hear you but this watch has been dissected already and its not 7750 based.
Those' size is different and need to be modified extensively including shaving it to accept the case in order to fit the 4130 while this one fits the DD perfectly, hasn't been modded in any way.
All in all whatever batch is this stays closer to my eyes and heart, not planning to replace with any of the newer stuff :D

Thanks for your comments , the black color in the 1265 series is more appealing imo as appose to the white one. When it comes to white panda the 116500 is my preference for sure.

Maybe i didn't explain myself well buddy: this dial is identical in the font to the old 7750 version of JF, but it was maked and sold for a direct fit with 4130 on ebay.
Not need shawing or re-do the dial feet position.

It has just the font of JF7750, with correct things of fitting ;) is has just a bit larger central hole that can be spotting easily because you can see the brass wheel of hand in the center. However is was a good aftermarket alternative at that time ;)
