i have a BTF panda in hand and 1. it feels way better, more solid, more refined than a CF. 2. I can't see any defect but i'm not going around with a loupe
How it’s bracelet in btf compared to clean ?
Thanks

The case and bracellet is the best on BTF right?
And I'm assuming clean has better dial but it's negligible to the eye vs gen?

I think wrote 3 times, i had both btf and clean bracelets and in my case the cf had better feel and finished edges but im 110% sure that is very relative, you can get better clean and you can get better btf bracelet, it is just matter of tollerance…

For the dials, clean have better printing , in color they are both little different than gen, btf is little more white or colder than gen and clean is little more darker -like color… anyways both are great and even gen varies with color…

Closest to gen is the black v3 cf dial so far

pushers on CF tho are a no no, gen or noob do not fit. BTF seems to be better in that regards and I like the BTF case more. Slenderness +9999

Already accepted, but noticed the 6 o clock marker is a bit crooked. Looked at other Clean and BTs and most are crooked, either on top (doesn’t line up with the white line) or bottom (doesn’t align with the thick 6 o clock line). What do you guys thinks?

Yeah, you won't see it on the wrist. They do end up crooked as they are a single pin marker. Easy enough to have fixed if you ever send it for servicing.


I still can’t tell the difference between v2 and v3.
I really don't think there is much of a difference, maybe @CTime can explain what the difference is.

My understanding is the cf v3 white dial is the same as v2. They only named it v3 to keep up with the black dial.

They updated the pattern on the crown(that little three dots under the Rolex logo) and made the buckle better
