Can we get some comments on the accuracy of the dial and case shape rather than the price and 316 rather than 904? Seems like just yesterday folks were saying 904 was pointless and not worth paying extra for...

Noob Daytona with clone movement

Gen 4130 can be put in the ARF case though. Makes me wonder if the Noob clone isn't as much as a clone as it says it is. Or maybe he is talking plug and play swap. If that is the case, it certainly can be swapped into an ARF.
Looks thicker than gen, i’m suspicious for the time being.

Yes no TDs have offered it yet. I’m really curious why not one pic has the chronos running. Since the V8 Subs are 904L so why not this pricey Daytona. This is what can bring Noob back to the top. We need more pics and videos.
Would love to sit down with that movement for 2 hours, take it apart, and make photos of each little detail.

I'm not really a Daytona guy but my god, this is a big plus for the Rolex rep world. If this is true, a working, 1 to 1 rep of a rolex 4130! That is so freaking cool on so many levels.
Now with the price. How many of us were buying TC's a few years ago for over $500. Heck I have seen them on forums for $1000 bucks. That is with an A2824! This is really amazing if real. Think. Get a real dial, get real hands, real crystal and if it all fits the movement perfectly and the case. You cant find one of these at a rolex dealer. Again. Really cool.

Toro confirmed noob daytona will be available in few days ready to ship and it will take a gen dial.
Initial observations ARF dial/ bezel /bracelet and overall finishing looks better... ( I do own the arf version..lol) trying not be biased...
Noob obviously with the new movement have upper hand but as an overall product out the box arf superior.
These are just initial observations....based on couple of photos posted.

This.
How may of us still buying a crappy 7750 with sec at 12 of AP's royal oak offshore for over 550/600$?
That's an huge improvement for a rep wolrd. (A "cheap" investiment of 2$ milion dollars..)
Sure,i hope that it will be reliable also..
With the limited pictures we have, I can see that the pushers are nicer than ARF, the dial text are (but not the subdial printing) and I think it's got a nicer shade of black on the ceramics (not TOO sure on this one). ARF comes out top in all other aspects. If noob's got gen thickness, I'd probably consider using that extra $200 and source a jf/noob caseback for the ARF.
But these are just speculations for now until we get more pics.
Written on the edge of my seat for more pics.

So from what everyone has said thus far, it sounds like:
- The case shape is pretty good
- The dial text is a little fuzzy, not as good as ARF
- The pushers are a little better than ARF
I am really, really hoping that when we see the first ones arrive at our TDs that they have better dials. That would make it an obvious buy.

I still wonder if we can mod the movement into the ARF case. Toro says its not possible, but we have some creative skilled modders around here
