I'm new here, just sharing my observations. The new CF v3 thou have less shinny sub dials, the numbers eg. 30, 40, 20 etc are floating away from the edge of the black disk. I think that's an instant tell and signature of the CF v3 black.
not all gen have counter numbers so close to the inner edge (which I personally think is a mistake) look at this photo of gen, Clean V3 was inspired by this dial

So best setup for a black 116500 looks like, "BTF + CF v3 Black Dial + Gen Crystal" now. Will be a great rep for ~$1.3K.

Those sub dial hands at 3 and 9 look like they inspired the original BTF. Just goes to show that there’s enough variation in gen to make most of the “instant tells” rather meaningless.

Both BTF and Clean are good enough IMO - there is so little room left for improvement now.

I’ll keep my BTF crystal as well - no need to downgrade it a not-as-clear gen crystal.

I plan on putting the CF v3 dial in my BTF when it comes in.

Another video comparing v3 with a gen Daytona.

Not a V3, those are V1/V2 thickness Sub-dials.

Movement closeups showing the balance wheel adjusters are also labeled wrong... and not just the "Clear" labels instead of Clean.

Idk which video you looked but those subdials are not too fat to my eyes
V2 also are too shiny, on v3 they fixed thickness and shinnes

Little bit fatter and the colour is off.

BTF and clean are both good - just depends which flaws you can live with

Clean the subdials at 3 and 9 are frozen, correct?
Noob V4 has correct working subdials at 3 and 9 right?
How is this with BTF subdials, are they working correct, or is noob the only factory wich has build working all subdials?

Got a question for who owned both CF & BTF at the same time,

Its said that bezels are same but it looks like BTF bezel has deeper engravings than CF, so numbers looking a little darker. CF looks more white under many different lighting conditions.

Is that right - or maybe its just me.
