Hello guys, any updates on this V3 from any TD?
Hi, there is currently no official Clean "V3" version. to simplify and differentiate from the old dial, everyone calls it V3. it is an aesthetic update of the black 116500 LN dial and also of its much more beautiful bezel than the previous one.

Some people said btf is better. And some other said clean. No idea. I think they are quite the same, maybe btf is better a little bit
in my experience and in my aesthetic judgment I can tell you that, I had 116500 Clean and 116500 BTF, the Case BTF is perfect for the 116500 model. for my opinion the BTF has an extremely similar line to the gen 116500. while the Case 116520 is very similar to the 116520 gen. therefore of winner is:

BTF - perfect for 116500

Clean perfect for 116520

Thanks for the quick reply!
Do you know if any TD's have this new updated dial or this model isn't on the market yet?

Btf and clean seems to have same case profile. Is it true?
Which one is more rounded?
yes, the profile we can say is identical, what changes between the two models is the frontal aspect. ** the BTF case has a lower caseback and therefore is half a millimeter lower

it can be ordered from any TD, now the factory has only the updated dial. given the great demand, the QCs are slow to arrive, but I think there will be no problems, they will reach everyone.

That’s why i think it’s a little bit better if compare them together. They look identical on the wrist.

No. They are not same ;-)


That's just the light bro. The only difference is the lug ending going further down.

Roundness is the same. Lugs are the only difference.

I don't know what you guys are smoking but Noob and CF have very different midcase profile.

I have them in my hands right now so I know what I'm talking about






I'm sure I dont have to tell you which is which.

I have some double or triple thoughts on CF pushers tho..they look definitely longer than noob, on top of being super shiny


Every CF I handled has a gritty winding feeling as opposed to noob 4130 which feels buttery

Yes but that's a 116520. Which is different in itself to the 116500 slimmer case. See above I posted pics of both above each other.

Btf and noob. The difference is the lugs. That's it.

It is confirmed by TomRep as well as Domi that the old versions of noob were flat and hard edges, But the newer noob models from v3 end version and v4 on do not need a case reshaping.

Picture is one I just took a moment ago Left is btf right is noob. As you can see the difference is the lugs. Btf bend down more and are sharper. Both cases are rounded equally.

And wich of them is the more gen like case shape for a 116 500 ?
BTF or NOOB V4?

Buy a used Datejust dial. costs like 120-150€.

Replace coronet.
That's what I did on mine.

Many people say that there's a difference in the shape or size. Not true if you pick the correct era and a 36mm dial.
