Yes, the Asian 7750 clone of the Valjoux 7750 has been modified for sub dial position, but it shouldn't be a huge task to swap the modification over.
I'm assuming the reported unreliability is due to the modification, if so, which factory(s)?

It's not clear to me if they're using a gen case or not? I hope so as I don't like the lugs of the noob. The fitment of the SEL's to the lugs just isn't good on the noob imo.
So fingers crossed that clean is able to make this like their sub/gmt offerings concerning the lugs/sel's.

Clean will probably just reuse the GMT case for the Daytona, same as they do for their Sub.

Joking aside, Clean don't do gen spec cases, they have fucked up every other case they produced so I wouldn't hold out any hope for a 1:1/gen spec case for a Daytona..

The fact CF is involved in the latest 4130 Daytona project is a crushing blow and bitter disappointment.

Litterly the only case they got wrong is the sub..
The cf datejust case doesn't look bad at all.

I think no modification was needed. They just swapped over to the 7753 movement which has the subdials in the correct positions.

The 7753 has 3, 6 and 9 sub dials, but 6 is hours and 9 is seconds, so there would still have to be a modification to swap 6 and 9 if that's what they're using.

Yes would be nice if ARF got the 4130.

Presume you’re referring to the fully functional version as per Noob. It may interest some to know I have on order two ARF Daytona’s from Puretime with the a4130. Ordered end of October and currently in transit. Frozen chrono obviously but not an issue for me.

The ARF appears to be a 7750 decorated to look like a 4130.

Noted, thank you. Still finding my feet so so not sure if that’s a good or bad thing…. They’re going straight for service when they arrive so I’ll ask Adrian’s opinion and post

^ This, that's why they froze tte chrono subdials, so that with a 7750 based movement they could achieve gen thickness

Noob was the only factory with a real 4130 clone

You will have the same 7750 with frozen 3+9 subdials just like every other ARF. Not a bad thing, the watch is super reliable and excellent quality. The noob was preferred due to the 100% working chrono, I have one and it is fantastic. Do I use the chrono, no not too often but nice to know I could.
