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.
Cf bezel is more shallow, and thinner

Also CF crown is sharper. Pushers wiggle and are sharp.

In my opinion the cf isn't as nice build wise. But the dial is better.

I own a CF V1 (White) and a BT V2 (black),
to me the BT Bezel looks a little better, the white colour of the numbers looks brighter in dark rooms.

Difference in minimum and maybe it could be due to BT being new, but I'm considering the "moltow Paint" on the bezel...

Bro, both cf and btf have platinum on the bezel. Both are near gen. Molotov mod is nowhere near gen.

Today I ordered new Daytona V3 from Li, seems to be correct size counters and very good dial.
I will post the QC photos just received. Meanwhile, I show you the first images I found among my friends



Looks good!!

I think the one in the pics is not the V3, but V2.5.
The V3 has 'facyocy' stiker and subdials are more slim.

After all the comparisons and evaluations, BTF all (case quality and case shape, bracelet, crystal, pushers) and Clean V3 dial (smaller and less shiny sub dials) seems to be the best combination?!
What abaout the hands (main hands and sub dial hands) Go for BTF or Claen or a mixture?
If youd go ootb Clean V 3 seems to be a bit bettter than BTF, right?

Almost right - its the other way round - CF has deeper engraving.

Anybody know where i can get a crystal that looks like gen for the clean 116520 ? Clean crystals are crap compared to gen
To my knowledge, there aren't any that resemble the gen. CF is less transparent than Gen and BT are too transparent. I think the CF xtal is closer to gen than BT but I prefer the BT clarity even though it doesn't resemble a gen crystal. However, there seem to be several gen 116520/116500 xtals in the M2M.

That's not true.

Noob is above all the others quality wise. Btf is a different movement finish to the cf one. Winds smoother, is a lot cleaner (no pun intended) and runs better.

When I received my Cf520 Domi told me I should have went for the btf. Sold it. Got a btf.

Cf Crystal is nowhere near gen. It is blurry and looks foggy.

Btf is very close to gen. Almost same quality as noob and noob was the best crystal.

Its not really the clarity i care about, its the height of it, sits alot lower than gen thats the first giveaway that its a replica without getting close enough to look at the dial etc

Not just my opinion.
Domi the watchmaker told me the same
when we replaced my gasket I had sourced a gen xtal, he said no need for it.

Noob crystal is perfect, no need to replace.

That's not true.

The 500 glasses sit lower than the 520s.
