DAYTONA V3 CLEAN FACTORY 116500 BLACK

[cassapanca]

Incredibly frustrated - Waited 6 weeks for a v3 dial and this is what I’m offered……

It’s not v3 is it? Looks shiny to me?

This is a 116520 dial. The text in 116500 dials is different

 

[Goldsimba1989]

Always a beautiful combo

What dial is this? Clean or BTF?

 

[Goldsimba1989]

Looks very beautiful

It's a gen.

Erik is very easy going guy. He would change anything until his customer happy

 

[Goldsimba1989]

Gen dial and gen case or gen dial and clean/ BTF?

 

[Storm.]

Gen dial and gen case or gen dial and clean/ BTF?

Completely gen.

Well let's hope he does because the guy asked for a Daytona 116500 CF V3 dial and got a 116520 dial.

This is the correct reply...

Look at the relationship between the "R" in Rolex and the "ST" in Oyster.

One gen 116500 dial variation is shiny and one not. If as shiny as BTF, I don’t know. But definitely more shiny than CF the new one. The shinyness is in general not so much a problem, as at least two variations exist in gen world. Rather the thickness of the subdials and the quality of the subdials in general as well as the crispness of all the printed text and its thickness. Bad crown shapes or marker shapes are also directly visible.

No it's not as shiny. As I said before in this thread, the gen shiny variations are only shiny in very harsh direct light and in very bright direct sunlight.

All other situations they're a matte grey and matte golden tone.

And you can believe me on this as I defended the btf dial before, because people said gen isn't shiny at all. It is in mark 1 but not as shiny as btf either way

So is there a V3 dial for the 116520 yet or is it still the same dial with shiny, fat subdials?

 

[Goldsimba1989]

The 116520 subdials are different. So they are more shiny in the original

 

[Goldsimba1989]

Do you guys now if I can just take a BTF V2 and but a silver white gold Clean dial inside to make it look like below?

This is the best build for 116500. Perfect

 

[Goldsimba1989]

Is the bezel of the version 3 better than BTF V2 Bezel?

 

[Storm.]

Is the bezel of the version 3 better than BTF V2 Bezel?

Imo no. Color isn't right and engravings on btf are better.

 

[shotgun]

This is the best build for 116500. Perfect

Thank you Bro

 

[Mark1937]

La cornice della versione 3 è migliore della cornice BTF V2?

For me yes! CF better
