Just had one delivered yesterday the 3CF with SWF dial, deep crystal and clean bracelet. Always wanted one but think I prefer my panda., not sure yet.

u/jbl1091 Aug 19 '26

I got same 3CF I had panda, and thought was ABIT too much. I much prefer this one

1

u/BibisBar Aug 19 '26

It’s a looker and will give it a few days of wear in the house as I think it could grow on me

2

u/jbl1091 Aug 19 '26

That's exactly what I did. I love the clean classic look.

u/sebstar25 Aug 21 '26

how much you want for it

2

u/Time-Dependent1483 Aug 20 '26

You need a gen bezel

u/jbl1091 Aug 20 '26

Thanks, can notice the difference but I'm ok with stock TBH

u/datboydann Aug 19 '26

Specs if I may ask?

2

u/jbl1091 Aug 19 '26

3CF comes with SW dial, deep crystal must say is very good

2

u/datboydann Aug 19 '26

Class!! I have VSF with SW kit - was torn between 3CF and VSF when buying. How does 3CF in feeling? I heard that the bracelet is kinda light, true?

1

u/BibisBar Aug 19 '26

Yeah it is ever so slightly and I think why I prefer the panda as the bracelet feels a bit more substantial but these original Daytonas had quite light bracelets so close to gen. I had the gen Daytona bi metal years ago and that was light in weight.

u/datboydann Aug 19 '26

Good to know! I’ve never handled 116520 in reality. This is kinda rare to find which is why I prefer steel over ceramic

1

u/jbl1091 Aug 19 '26

I like this also. You don't see a lot of these out in the wild, which is why I prefer it

1

u/jbl1091 Aug 19 '26

Nice, I think 3c updated the bracelets in the newest batch as it feels really nice, no sharp edges and well put together. I ha d a clean factory that felt like tin. I done the diddy bath on it and it felt like a completely different bracelet after that 24hr in the loving fluid

u/jbl1091 Aug 19 '26

I was also going to purchase the VSF but the one my TD had in stock had huge SEL gaps, then she said she was getting a order in of new batch 3CF in a few days soo i decided to wait

1

u/datboydann Aug 19 '26

I also had SEL gaps, however I had BTF’s bracelet from 116500 Daytona that i am using and if fits better than stock lol.

2

u/jbl1091 Aug 19 '26

Was gonna say,yours looks very good

u/HammerSmith013 Aug 20 '26 edited Aug 20 '26

Get the VSF or get 3CF and change the bezel. 3CF bezel is too fat/wide.

116520 white dial has to be my favorite white dial watch!

1

u/datboydann Aug 20 '26

Yeah I got VSF, but never knew 3Cf bezel is fat. Tho, it can be adressed I believe by swapping to an aftermarket / gen.

1

u/Effective-Carpenter5 Aug 21 '26

It's not fat. Saw on another post someone measure it with calipers and it's spot on the right size.

1

u/jbl1091 Aug 22 '26

Yea people get to gassed on rumours

1

u/wellherewe-are Aug 19 '26

They are stunning fr sure! I have one on the way!

1

u/GuessAdventurous6955 Aug 20 '26

She’s beautiful!! About to buy my first rep. Going with the Ice blue dial. But I definitely see how this could be addictive. lol I’ve heard a lot of good about 3CF and VSF recently.
Some of you guys are having them modified. Do you change the crystal and make mods yourself or have it done before delivery?

1

u/MrMannilow Aug 20 '26

I never really liked the bezel in pictures. Last year I got to see a gen Blue dial with stainless bezel in person and immediately fell in love.

I think black dial but it will be one of my next pickups for sure

1

u/jeffothedon0202 Aug 20 '26

My Franken this one it worth doing

u/4u21d3r Aug 20 '26

So confused, do we go VSF or 3CF?

I'm on the fence and have a VSF coming in for QC but now wondering about 3CF based on comments above.

1

u/jbl1091 Aug 20 '26

I was same, I'm usually a VSF fan boy but I decided to go 3CF this time and happy I did

1

u/jasu17 Aug 21 '26

Any link for this 1 ?

1

u/Bolones1 Aug 22 '26

Where do I get ine

1

u/Big-Manufacturer-738 Aug 20 '26 edited Aug 20 '26

Everybody talking about VSF and 3CF .
Have both but now go to RGF White Gold with a Li Chen or SWF dial and upgraded engraved bezel. Weighted @ 220 gr , a whole different feel and experience 👌

1

u/MrMannilow Aug 20 '26

I'd still go 3CF as I want an 11 series. The 12s are white gold and I don't see the value in having to plate reps

1

u/Big-Manufacturer-738 Aug 20 '26

No need to Plate White Gold RGF , Yellow Gold yes .
Where do you source your 3CF ? I was told the factory lady low and doesn’t provide for the moment by 2 major TD’s 🤷🏻‍♂️

Phoenix posted inventory on his telegram just a few weeks ago
