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

[cyprusdaedalus]

V2 to V3, no change in dial colour! After the 116500 black was upgraded to V3, the white one is now called V3 too, without the factory actually making any significant changes!

Thanks for the confirmation Steve!

I'm looking at PT's site for a black Dayptona and see that the CFs are $778 vs the QF being $828
Is there a justifiable reason to buy the QF over the CF, or is it just an attempt to confuse the market?

Sto guardando il sito di PT per un Dayptona nero e vedo che i CF sono $ 778 contro i QF che sono $ 828
C'è una ragione giustificabile per acquistare il QF rispetto al CF o è solo un tentativo di confondere il mercato?

Buy CF!

Hey guys, so I received QC of my 116500 BTF v2 Panda, do you think the dial shift (slightly to the right) is noticable? I am thinking to ask for another one due to that or am I too picky?! What is your guys' opinion?

Can you explain Why its ”trash”?

 

[Bobi01]

it's definitely not trash, in my opinion, the dial is just slightly moved to the right and that's it

It's not the TD's job to see this.

 

[mmaggi]

True that it's not the TDs job to QC. However if TDs had a set of standards such as centered dials, aligned bezels, rehauts and hour markers then the factories would most certainly raise the bar making it better for everyone. Just a thought.

Or buyers could just be more aware and do their own QC.

Non sense ! They should also include champagne

The point is if TDs did their due diligence (like the buyers) there would be alot more pressure on the factories.

Maybe a small td can do that, But the big boys dont have time to QC everything, Maybe they sell 100s of watches everyday, and inspect every watch. Forget it, its better for them if the customer do it, and if someone is bad they just change it with the factory.

There’s no incentive. Their sales are already through the roof.

That's why I tends to go with smaller dealers who'll provide a better personal services to get more customers.

Steve, can you please clarify?
I wrote you on whatsapp and you are saying the crystal is clearer on the v3.
Jtime is saying there are some dial changes. i am so confused

 

[wolfwood]

Just ordered a CF Panda from Lucy and she said that the crystal is clearer in the latest version. The QC pics she sent me do show that is the case at least when I compared them to the other CF's in this thread.
