I think the hour markers just look too wrong on the clean. If they update them and make them rounder and nicer I get one đŸ˜‰

But is it really that obvious on the wrist? I don't think the hour markers on CF look half as bad as BTF, and on the wrist neither of them look bad. Just my humble opinion.

No, I mean if you run your finger around the edges of both watches... Which one is more sharp (which is a bad thing for daytonas as they are supposed to have rounded edges)?
I have heard Clean is more like a Sub or GMT with sharp edges, while BTF is more rounded like GEN.
They kinda feels the same

What’s the best case, bracelet & movement to use for a franken? Currently building a 116520 but unsure what to use

from photos of the sides BTF has a much better case shape than CF for me. But then maybe I'm seeing wrongly
What do you think is better for 116500 Panda Daytona?:
1. Swap CF dial, hands, movement into BTF watch?

2. Keep CF watch and replace crystal for gen

Anyone know a place where I could get my Clean crystal swamped in Switzerland or Frankfurt Germany?
