DAYTONA V3 CLEAN FACTORY 116500 BLACK

[JordanEleven]

The „hole“ is too big, but if you‘re happy that‘s all that matters

This is a hole big

This is v3. Crown finally is good

I guess there is no history in rep, that one default build from any factory become gen-like. Always need to swap something/mods. Swap to btf coronet

With the black Clean V3 is it worth it to get gen crystal, gasket, and coronet?

CF V3 with better Coronet

In my opinion: no. I‘ve build the best parts from BTF V2 and CF V3 and that‘s all you need if you‘re a nitpicker

 

[Daytonpigue]

For you guys that use BTF 116500 to mods, what do you do to the btf dial after swap to cf v3 ?

Does anyone ever try installing btf dial 116500 to 116520 base ? (Like noob)
How does it look?

So what is the perfect build ? BTF all + CF v3 dial?

Thanks

After witness myself I’ve got black 116520 arf vs 116500 dial, the dial difference not obvious from few meters away, which is accepted enough for me. So I don’t have to throw my btf v2 dial to the bin , instead put it on my noob case.

the dial difference not obvious from few meters away

Like almost all the differences between a gen and a good rep

Like almost all the differences between a gen and a good rep

But when it comes to subdial size and color, it is so obvious from far. If rep has too thick subdial or far difference color, it’s easy tell. even if it’s expensive

CF V3 with better Coronet

they fixed it? steve sent me qc of latest cf v3 and the hole is still big

 

[Join3d]

It’s all about batches. They started to use this ugly coronet, but sometimes an old dial appears in a V3. They’ll surely replace this coronet when all the bad/wrong coronets are sold out. Typical Clean.

Yes it’s latest batch of cf v3 dial
