An interesting video between the OEM watch and Clean:

In what lighting condition should the blue reflection be seen? I have a CF panda and I'd like to catch that.
Does anyone know if the steel on the CF Daytona has been tested to show it is indeed 904L steel?

Here is two “macros” of the clean 116500 and the noob v4 116500...
The main difference I’ve noticed between this two dials are as follows:
- “Clean” has a cold white dial that tend to blue, noob has a warm white dial but is not like cream, it is white.
- The “Clean” counters are more matt than noob and the black in certain light tend to somenthing like brown. On the “Noob” they are more shiny and black.
- text on “Clean” is thinner than “Noob” and I like it.. but the most of the gens 116500 I’ve had in my hand had the bolder text as the “Noob”
- The red of “Daytona” text is almost the same
- Hour Markers on “Clean” makes the opposite effect of the gen...I’ve noticed than on gen sometimes the hour markers could be whiter than the dial...on clean they are warmer..but the “white gold” effect is really good on “Clean”

What do you guys think of the spacing of the ‘40’ number marking at the 6 o clock subdial? I’m going things with a fine tooth comb and comparing with the the gen.
Notice on the gen that there’s minimal space between the 4 and the 0. Perhaps enough space for a few strands of hair to place in between.
Now compare that to the clean factory 40 marker. It seems like there’s quite a lot of extra space between the 4 and 0.
See pics below: one is watermarked Jtime. Other photo is a stock photo from the R factory website.

You're true ...
AND ... look at the 5mn markers on that subdial ... on the RF pics they are clearly separated from the white center part but on the CF pics they sort of bleed on it ...
BUT ... who will really notice that on the wrist ?
There are five batches of Noob V4 dial, I made a thread on it. Latest ones are correct for pre 2021 dials, the first ones were too bold.

Neither is correct because all of them have wrong O like donut, and with that complete rolex text looks off and wrong
I had deep crystal but it was not the same as CF Daytona stock crystal.
AR bracelet, buff hands, CF ceramic bezel is announced as topic of CF Daytona but crystal spec wasn’t mentioned.
Can you explain whats the different is , wish to know if its wroth the upgrade then? I read it has deep crystal from chinese site . Not on here
Gen 2021up have blue effect. And hour marker does appear grayish to the dial. The hands pinon is also correct. There are 3 factory from rolex, 3 different style of hands. Some have bevel some dont. Round ball pinon or tube shape pinon .
The only obvious flaw are polished pusher which suppose to be brushed. The 3 dot crown.
Agree, i can not even understand why we are still arguing about Noob Daytona dials, they are the worst ever. Sorry but CF, ARF even BP and JF are all way better than Noob dials.
Arguing Noob to have a acceptable Daytona dial is like arguing Putin having acceptable behaviour at the moment...
