Panda Daytona 116500 GEN VS NOOB, Clean V2, BT V2, Full comparison
- Thread starter steve_theonewatches
- Start date
I just finished reading the review on the Black dial daytona, i think i will go for the BTF one instead of CF one. Thanks for the awesome review, CF's PANDA DAYTONA crystal is quite opaque to be honest....
Hi all, new here. Just ordered the CF Panda Daytona v2 from jtime. Waiting on QC pics. Anything in particular I should look out for? Thanks in advance!
I finaly got my BTF Black dial.
So i made a comparison with my noob v3
(Note BTF has gen crystal and Buff hands)
BTF is to the left and in the first pic its the bottom piece.
Conclusion 1:BTF is realy realy nice. Realy nice case.
Conclusion 2: NOOB isnt that bad. I thought it is was bigger differens between the watches, i will hang on to the rest of my noobs

As per usual, noob needs new gasket and crystal lowered
Other than that, it's a very nice watch. Even stock is very good.
I have a V3 panda with a gen gasket, xtal lowered, gen pushers and crown, all 6 gen hands, arf v2 dial with gen crown and gen omega spring bars for nicer SEL fitment.
Part of the clasp (the lower part) is gen.
Brushing to gen specs. Bezel paint mod with platinum coating.
It gets indistinguishable from gen at that point.
All work done by Domi.
Have had it next to many gen 500s couldn't tell a difference.
Ordered the btf v2 in black, we will see how it looks when it gets here but I'm very much hyped for it as it seems to be the best ootb rep ever made.

Just to share with you guys, I received QC pics for the Panda I ordered, from Better Factory or BTF V2, but am SOOO disappointed. This is already the version 2 with shorter subdial hands, but the SUBDIAL number printing are so close to the inner edges that some numbers get misprinted. This is a big no for me and a very obvious error of the factory.
I've now asked my TD to change my order to a CLEAN Factory V2, which they acknowledged.
Picture attached. Good luck guys on your panda ????

Subdial numbers too close to the inner edge has always been a problem with BT, and printing blurred is just a matter of batch size, how you choose depends on which deficiencies you can tolerate!

Never ceases to amaze me how far replicas have come. I can barely tell the difference. Unbelievable.
