Black. Ngl the more I see the 126x Panda the more I appreciate the 116x series.

Does anyone have the new ARF? How does it perform compared to the Clean, VSF or BTF? To me the general consensus is that in terms of quality its

1. Clean
2. VSF and BTF about equal
3. ZF, old Noob

Is this correct?

Nope imo

1. Clean and btf
2. Old noob
3. others like zf vsf and co
+1 QF, but only due to their lemans which is great, rest mediocre

I would say after owning now 10+ of these trying different factories I would rate them as below.

1) Clean
2) QF, VSF and BTF are all good. In real life you wont be able to tell imho.
3) The rest.

QF make very nice watches. Their Le Mans is bloody damn good, their bracelet to me is a little worse than Cleans - it feels as though its more rattling and not as well built. VSF uses clean parts in some of their models and BTF is also pretty decent.

Wow thanks for the quick replies you guys.
I was talking about this ARF, it seems to be fairly new, nobody is talking about it. I would like to add a Daytona 126500 or 116500 to my collection but not really sure yet which. The consensus seems to really favor the clean it seems


If a man would go on a part scavenging spree, what should be taken from the BTF? To my untrained eyes the BTFs dial looks whack but the bezel might be better while the VSF seems to be having the best movement while the Clean is better at all the rest.
