These look pretty damn good. Second two pics are Gen for comparison. The bezel comes white gold plated from the factory as well which is one of the most annoying upgrades you have to do on these things. Lug shape looks spot on too. So far it looks like only Rich and Gold factory claim to 18K white gold plate their fluted bezels stock.
The Batgirl is VSF and the BW is Rich V2. Who has the better crystal? In person I can tell you Rich is very slightly less reflective under bright lights in its most reflective angle compared to VSF. Both crystals are excellent. What do you all think?

A watch build I got from her actually. Simply amazing. She's my favorite TD.
Hi, any plans to QC these?
Girlfriend loves the watch. Very responsive, fast QC, and shipping!
SW dial, Rich V2 free sprung BW
This Panda Daytona looks really good, it has the correct bezel (no 110 arrow tell) and free sprung JH4131. I'm not sure if it's as good as RWF (dial might be too white, like Clean plus which also has the correct bezel) but at least it doesn't have the damn bezel issue. Gold also claims to use real grade 5 titanium in their Yacht-Master 42 (VSF again caught using lower grade alloys - grade 2 titanium). Thoughts?

What do we think? I tried asking some questions about it but I think I angered him and then he was rude to me lol. I'll try again later. Looks like it could be real enamel to me.
Edit: btw he tells me it's real enamel. Definitely looks better than the stock factory ones.
When do you think you'll start getting some of these in?
RWF Panda Daytona update
Got it upgraded with a deep crystal, case and bracelet polished, and movement regulated and lubricated (i.e full spa treatment). Chronograph works perfectly (tested 24 hours), watch running +/- 3 seconds per day, also confirmed to have true free sprung movement. I think this thing is NWBIG. Give this factory a try for a near perfect Panda Daytona 126500 rep.
Really love the white and orange combination on the dial
Gotten a few pieces from Phoenix, this one's probably my favorite. It's a flash sale he had on an ARF meteorite Pepsi, modded with a Deep Crystal, whole watch polish (case and bracelet chamfer) and 7um 18K white gold plating.
I know it's apples and oranges but still an interesting comparison. The APS dial is slightly whiter/warmer and the ZF dial definitely looks more silver. I'm really impressed with the quality of the dial and case on the ZF in hand.
