So how did JohnnyDepp manage to get ARF bracelet to fit? I'm thinking of getting a rubber B strap but cost is quite substantial plus mine is 116520 black dial and not sure how it would look with black strap guru
You would need to seperate the bracelet and use noob sel in arf bracelet.
but then you still have the gap in the SEL

The gap with the ARF bracelet is bigger, try to change the bracelet SELs, 6 to 12 and 12 to 6....if you are lucky, it will be better. It worked for me. I tried 2 ARF bracelets without beeing lucky. So no need to order one. I guess we have to life with this sel until noob comes with the 904 version or ARF puts out a 904 with that movement. My source in China told me that ARF is working on it but nobody knows how long it will be. Could be 5 month or 2 years. For sure is that the Shanghai Movement Factory will sell the movement to other rep fabs, but since noob paid for the development, we do not know how long it is not allowed to sell to other rep factories. I wish we would see a ARF with 4030 clone this year. BTW, the delivery problems of the noob Daytonas is due to movement supply. Now you can build your own mind when ARF 4030 will be out.

It will not resolve the issue, it will be worse
And yes, Angus gets all the rejected watches and shippes next day. If you can’t wait, order from Angus and get a fu..ed up SEL

Who would you source it from?
I have read the whole 25 pages, thank OP for starting this and doing a review and all other members with their opinions and comments. I have the Noob on order, waiting for QC photos at the moment and it helped me better what to pay attention about (I am not a Rolex fan, don’t know what to look for, etc.). I will subscribe to this thread and follow it closely. Will update with some photos once I get mine.
update - just got QC (looks good to my untrained eye - bracelet to case fitment, bezel alignment)
Call me crazy, and I absolutely hate to knock anyone's watch but this looks a bit off. I am looking at my ARF and the subdials (talking about the black circles) seem very thick on the noob. Unless the ARF is wrong as the subdials are quite thinner.

The dial on the Noob isn't good, the subdials and hour markers specifically.
Practically every font on the dial and bezel is wrong and that's just the start. Just greedy using the old shitty dial with this revolutionary movement!
