yes and tbh don't care about the unique coronet ARF used to apply here lol
Big fav overall and the colour/tone is miles better to my taste than any btf or clean imo
That's not it :)

But yes, i agree, the dial color is unique

Hi guys, I'm in need of your help here. From your perspective, which one from ARF and Clean have the best White 116500 Dial ?

Thanks a lot ! as I'm in the process of building my baby

The CF dial is pretty much perfect in terms of subdials, text print etc. but the color is slighty to cold.

The ARF dial has a couple of obvious tells, and its very hard to find a "good" dial. About 3 different versions exist, finding one of the correct ones is hard. The color is warmer then the CF, but a bit to warm compared to gen.

In my signature there is a tread on white dial 116500s https://forum.replica-watch.info/th...6500ln-franken-gen-vs-rep-pic-heavy.10140318/

Thank you Sir, that is so usefull...

I'm currently building also a Franken build as a Daytona is my dream watch but I refuse to put this amount of money on a watch that can be stolen.

I'm currently with these parts :
- BTF 116500 White Dial
- CF Bezel / CF Dial
- Gen Hands, Crown, Pushers

I'm trying to find ARF bracelet as they are apparently the best but I don't know how to find one...
