Daytona 116500 Clean Factory 1:1 Best Edition 904L SS Case and Bracelet Black Dial SA4130 – CTime
Bezel
The letters are identical.
CF: whiter, a bit brighter, and clear textured which is closer to the gen
BT: bit more gray, the texture is not as good as CF
They both have a problem: chamfering the edges of the bezel more or less which is different from the gen. But it feels better this way and won’t cut yourself at least.

Conclusion
This thread is based on the photography provided and objectively observed. As a TD, it’s my duty and responsibility to tell my customers what they would get eventually. I should never avoid telling people any flaws, because the rep will never gonna be the same as gen. I hope everyone will be just satisfied with the final result from each factory, they had done their best. Our team will make more comparison threads and videos in the future, you will know we are really ready to serve everyone as a professional TD.
