I'd agree. Small chrono hands exceed the length of the original ones.
Also the lume looks a bit too white.

And why are the pushers totally different? Or is this just based on different angles?

Small chrono hands look too long or what?

Yup they are. Even for the panda.

Here's a side by side of Clean and BTF panda.

I do prefer the warm tone of BTF compares to the cold dial of clean. Subdial hands are a tad skinnier and shorter compared to gen/clean, a buff hand mod would do the trick if one should prefer warm over cold.

In this photo the BT has a pink hue and CF blue. Maybe I’m going colour blind.
Decisions.

I had that same thought. I associated CF with a harsher white and BT with a softer white, but these pictures look the opposite lol.

So what's the deal with the chronos? Do the subdials work or not? :huh?:

You're kidding right ?

No I am not kidding:

What's up with the chrono? Minutes on chrono are almost half an hour in but hour hand hasn't moved at all. AFAIK on noob it's moving even before hitting 30mins exactly

What is it with people here being snarky? This is one of the most expensive reps there is, so I'd like to know if it's any good.

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: search for the differences between the 4130 and 7750 movement. The reason some Daytona reps are much more expensive than others is because they have the 4130 movement. The 4130 movement is a nearly identical copy of the rolex caliber 4130. The only differences between the rolex 4130 and the clone 4130 are a regulated vs free sprung balance (which makes the clone slightly easier to regulate), and brass instead of LIGA chrono seconds wheel (which can cause the chronograph seconds had to sweep slightly less smoothly than the gen).

Cool. I’ll be patiently waiting BT Factory to be available stateside. Hoping for a slightly shorter wait than gen from AD!
