Guys, what movement is it? Peacock or different? SL-4802 looks differently.
Looks like the DD4801.
These are all the versions available atm, always check what movement is inside with your TD.
Is DD4801 reliable movement or better to ask TD to source newer version with DD4802?
SL 4801 and SL4802 have no differences, they're the same movement structure and everything, only SL-4802 is skeletonized, SL-4801 is not. That's it. Otherwise they're the same thing.
No, pratcically the same, these minor 5g difference don't mean much, the bigger "feeling" on wrist you will have is the difference between rotor, 4131 has ball bearing, the 4801 has unidirectional spinning rotor.
Sorry to bring this post back up.swe
Too add a little
For me, If were go to panda, I would go 116500, I just think 126500 panda’s subdial is too thin and feels more … I don’t know empty?
On top of that, I still hate the dial color hue of my clean panda. Even after swapping deep xstal. It still is too bright. Gen has more warm white color which makes it look classy. But almost all of rep has this blueish pale white dial. The old noob version and old RB dial looked warm enough to get the color right. I tried to even sunburn the white dial for few days.
Anyways. There are things that hurts each of us most. Each color and each factory has its own defects. I have to prioritize what you value the most.
I am the guy who cares about the dial most. As long the dial is beatiful, I get along with case shape and movement sound or whatever. But to me, faulty dial with perfect case shape and clone movement? It gives me stress every time.
So this hobby is basically hobby of prioritizing what you can bear with.
Dont try to get a perfect answer, Especially if this is your first buy. By buying a rep you will find your tast and learn more about yourself.
No, he's saying he prefers the dial of the white 116500 to the white 126500.
Hi, I guess I have 2 things mixed up.Sorry to bring this post back up.
I've got the gorilla sbf 126500.
Are you saying you prefer the sbf panda 116500 over CF 116500 and even the sbf 126500 panda dial?
Just want to know if im reading this correctly.
Do you see the Clean panda dial in real? I am asking because from what I know, most of the TDs didn't get the white balance right when taking those photos. Shooting white flat objects could be difficult, some photos didn't reflect the right white colour.
One way spin rotorr does not mean it is spinning in only one way.Personally i do feel the rotor of the 4802 on the wrist from time to time. But only rarely when my rist flicks at the right angle. It’s more noticeable when you take the watch off you can really feel the vibrations. I’m kind of glad it’s a one-way rotor for this reason otherwise, it would be spinning constantly.
The 4802 is also a bit loud in a quiet room. Since I’m usually in a soundproof environment, I do notice it, but it’s not a deal breaker for me.
I don’t have a 4131 or 4130 to compare it with, though. So I honestly can't give a good comparison if the 5g makes a huge difference between the 4801 and the 4802.
I'm guessing the more ball barrings on the 4130 & the 4131.
I'm still happy
I have one myself. It kills me every day. I even tryied sunburn it. I swapped to deep crystal, yes it helped a liitle but I can see it at a glance. (And yes I have seen 116500 gen panda numerous times
I have a gen 116500 panda and a clean 116500 franken. The clean dial is great but lacks the proper white warm hue, and the warm lush of the white gold hour markers.
Well, apart from photography, making/printing white objects is another goal difficult to achieve.I have a gen 116500 panda and a clean 116500 franken. The clean dial is great but lack the proper white warm hue, and the warm lush of white gold hour markers.
The CF 116500 dial is too flat and cold IRL - although what you say is not incorrect, it’s not a white balance issue, and contrary to what some posts have said, it cannot be fixed by replacing the xtal.
