I like the strap, unfortunately I only realised afterwards that you have to buy the SEL looking inserts afterwards. I've ordered them now and will put them on and it'll look perfect!

All the TD's sell those Daytona's. It's up to you which one you choose.

From what I’ve read it’s not the dial color itself but rather the crystal that Clean uses. I’ve read a few posts that swapping out that crystal for a gen fixes what you are seeing on your Clean rep.So I received a CF 116500LN Panda, here's a pic of it with my gen. Wow, this thing is good, feels just like gen and looks soooo close. The one downfall is, as others have mentioned, the color of the white dial. It ain't super white. The gen has a deep richness to its dial, the CF dial is a weak, washed out, grey-blue. when compared side-by-side. Alone, its not too bad, but the difference next to a gen is very noticeable. I had a NOOB V3 before that I installed a gen 116520 dial, one reason I went gen is because the NOOB case wouldn't accept the ARF panda dial I bought because it needed to have the dial's edges shaved down to fit. Anyone know if other (whiter) rep dial will fit the CF case without shaving? I see them on eBay from time to time, have no idea of fit in the CF case.
All of our watch smiths can shave and install the dial for you.So I received a CF 116500LN Panda, here's a pic of it with my gen. Wow, this thing is good, feels just like gen and looks soooo close.

Mine was done by Domi.
It is glued to the movement because it doesn't have matching feet, but works like a charm.

@dsu Here is a picture that shows the difference between the CF and BT crystal. The dial in both watches is a BT V2 dial. I've read some members say that the BT crystals are too clear and not gen-like so take that into account.
Left is CF crystal and right is BT crystal.

Ask the TD for a CF panda...?
You will receive QC pics anyway so you can check. Please read the rules before you think of posting them here

Contact your chosen TD by email/WhatsApp, don't order on their website. And ask them if they have the watch available
All the best
