Before wide coronet and big hole coronet, now just wide coronet

Maybe V4 will have correct coronet
Fixed number on subdials, closer to the inner circle, will be 99% genlike 😂

I start assume all this mistakes is for purposes. So Rolex not seriously angry to them.

if it’s 99% genlike, brand must be hunt them for that 🤔

These are tiny details that no one except us will notice, and even we would need to look carefully as it's invisible on someone else's wrist a meter away.

In any case the biggest tell is always the person wearing the watch

Sure its on purpose. We are on a level of this watch where they can clone 100% accurate these details.
But why should they? If they DO, you are so happy with your watch, that you dont buy a V4, V5, V6....
thats how it works:)

I worked up a few High Resolution Comparison pictures using pictures posted of the Clean 116500 V3 in this thread and in a couple other resent threads...

This first one shows the difference between the Gen 116500 Black and White Dials.
The Sub-dials are clearly thiner on the Black dial, but I assume that some of the Factories thought that all of these Daytona Sub-dials were the same thickness. It appears that both Clean and BTF have finally corrected this mistake on the Black Dials...



These two are from TD Comparison Threads started by steve_theonewatches and by CTime...
- Both are claimed to be V3s, but the first one appears to have thicker Sub-dials, so it may really be a V2?





These are resent pictures from this thread...
- Some have the wrong Coronet, but the most resent one (#5) is correct.

Finally, this is the most resent Clean V3 and a BTF V2...

Thank you master for your precious time as always :)
CF V3 seems to be the most close...obviously gen is gen ;-)

This comparison shows a Gen, a Clean V2, and a BTF V2 all taken in high resolution by a TD with the same Camera in the same lighting. (thanks steve_theonewatches) The Sub-dials on the Clean are too wide, which Clean fixed on the V3, but the comparison of the Silver color on the Sub-dials is very good...

The Silver color on the Sub-dials as mentioned is very good, and with CF v3 (the sub dials are slimmer) Its a Better dial.
I personally dont think this now needs a gen dial, its close enough (like what 90% if that).

Gen dial has platinum counters (in addition to white gold indexes) that reflect light in a completely different way from the reps which are usually flat and not very dynamic. I show you how the dial gen (obviously the same mark imitated by the reps) can sometimes seem close to the CF V3 and others similar to the BTF. The various shades of the gen counters are lovely!
