Panda Daytona 116500 GEN VS NOOB, Clean V2, BT V2, Full comparison

[alemi86]

If you look on theonewatches site for example, in the specifications of the daytona clean the thickness is 12.5mm while the btf is 12.2mm as gen. Do you confirm this difference?

I just measured 2 of my BTF Daytona and they were indeed 12.24

Well picked ! Is it CF ? Won't be noticable on wrist

CF v3, I still can’t tell the difference between v2 and v3.

Earlier in this thread, Steve measured the thickness of all four and they were about the same, I think.

On post #72. It shows 12.1 for him for both, but there are obviously tolerances. As I said, mine came in at 12.2

Can I just confirm that a CF will not take gen pushers? Surprised to hear this and might call my franken project into question.

See post #265 apparently they don't fit

 

[St-Maxime]

Thanks. Would be great if someone could compare a CF pusher to Noob or gen. Might be just a small adjustment to the case to get them to fit?

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?

Knew I wasn’t the only person that noticed the 6 o clock marker on my watch also was slightly slanted right.

No worries. It’s not noticeable to the naked eye on the wrist compared to these macro photo shots.

Exactly!

We should stickie that in the new person section so when noobs ask “what is the biggest tell” it’s easier to explain that the biggest tell is always the wearer lol

Thanks for reminding us of the mistake we made when filling in the description, the actual thickness of the clean is 12.2 - 12.3

Can someone please explain the updates across the Clean Factory Daytona's for the differences between V1 / V2 / V3?

So far, I have gathered the crown dots orientation (not straight), better sapphire crystal, and better hands (more 3D like Gen), but which version incorporated these updates?

Thanks,
Josh

I believe V2 corrected the dots orientation on the crown and V3 has improved hands & crystal

Are you buying the black or white dial 116500LN?

Wow how could your TD let this 6 o clock pass?

Lol it’s not the TDs job to QC it for you. You have to QC it yourself with what you can live with.

 

[EggsVoL]

any different Ceramic benzel between BTF and ClEAN? or they r same?

 

[oceaon]

I think most would say that Clean is better by the tiniest of margins. Personally I don't think so
