2841 Pardon me if I missed something, but did you have the CF panda dial in hand to compare with your gen?
if so Would love to see some comparison pics.

In your opinion is the CF panda dial better than the ARF and noob?

Thanks in advance for the info :)

Yes, I had all the white dials together a couple of weeks ago.

when I upgraded this build with the gen case, I also upgraded the white dial noob build in my older tread (Daytona part 1) with the case from this build

Having the gen next to the CF and the ARF, the choice for me was pretty easy. The ARF is a tiny bit to warm, but looks real close to the gen. The CF looks to blue/gray, and makes the dial look cheap. The 5 lines of text is also thinner on the CF compared to the gen.

overall, imo, the ARF gives the watch a more luxurious look

oh, and the noob dial was never considered, everything is pretty much wrong :)

Thanks very much for this info mate I really appreciate it. This has definitely made up my mind about the ARF dial now. The CF dial does look anemic and has to go haha. Cheers

My pleasure, just remember very few ARF dials are correct. A lot of the version 2 has wrong subdials. (More info on this in my Noob build tread)

116500 and 116520 have different layouts on the 5 lines of text. Do a search on both, and its easy to tell them appart

With gens going for $40-50K+ recently, investing $8-9K in a virtually perfect rep seems almost sensible now!

I couldn’t agree more :)

With the addition of the gen case, I’m getting close to AD list price :) But I do really enjoy this build, and it has zero tells
