And how is it possible I just stumbled upon this thread? Thank you so much Steve for the very detailed comparison.
This just verifies for me that if I were in the market for a Panda Daytona that Clean Factory is the way to go. But I must say that on the wrist it's scary how good all 3 match up to the GEN.

Awesome thread! Sold on the CF for the white dial. Thinking about picking up both the white and black Daytona’s together. Cant decide which factory “black” Daytona to get. Deciding between the CF and BTF hard to pick. Any recommendations which is better? Ty

currently it seems that for the black dial btf is preferable. for the panda clean

After seeing the Panda comparison made by Stevetheone, it's obvious that the Clean Factory V2 Panda Daytona is the best by far. BTF V2 is still the best among the black dials.
comparison between clean v2 and 2022 daytona panda in normal room lighting. Clean is way too grey compared to the gen. Font looks too thick as well

It's clearly an issue related to the crystal.

Here comes the final job
Note: The measurement is the state of the force card tight, thickness of all three factories will appear to float one millimeter thick，Gen is a stable 12.0mm。
What makes me sad is that Rolex prices have plummeted recently. The original version of the plan was to sell the Panda Dee after the review and purchase a black 116500 to review for everyone. Now I'll just have to wait for Rolex prices to rebound before I take the plunge!
Well no more, I should go to raise the missing funds for the purchase of the black 116500, haha。

Crystal through our multi-angle comparison of different environments, CLEAN is indeed less translucent, and the surface of the plate looks too gray, CLEAN black 116500 is the same! We are not completely sure whether the crystal is the cause, only by disassembling the crystal to answer!

GEN official thickness is 12.4, whether it is PANDA 116500 or black 116500, we measured only 12.0 while CF and BT are fluctuating between 12.1-12.2, some batches of BT can even reach an amazing 12.0 or very good!
I guess the right is the clean as it has thicker text and grayer dial. The newer 2022 gen dials are supposed to be thinner text and whiter than the older version (pre 2019) on which the V2 is based.
agn78 Can you confirm which is clean?
How is the BTF crystal compared to Noobs? Noob's Daytona to me had a basically see through crystal it was like it wasn't even there. Is BTF on the same level?
BTF has a nice crystal, only Clean has a mediocre one, and not to mention a crappy gasket
