Thanks for the update. I also have heard that the steel bezel have better availability

We can only try cuz supply is short. Big chance the available pieces --- if any --- were QC rejects, but who knows what monstrosity the "new" version will bring, he he. It's the nature of this hobby... always a roll of the dice. So we get what we can, when we can.

Wow! Can’t deny the gen bezel and dial and hands totally pop! Huge difference, esp for bezel and dial! Wear it in good health, gabro! Now I’m ashamed of showing my stock Noob 116520 white dial that arrived in record time Friday from Sead...

Ready to pull the trigger on the 116520 white dial. However, Iooking to swap the dial, bezel, hands and put a gen Crystal on - anyone based in Europe (preferably north) that kindly could recommend a decent modder?

Many thanks,

Here's my question, if someone was able to throw in a Gen movement on the ARF Daytona, has anybody gotten around to fitting the SA4130 on the ARF Daytona?
I'm thinking about this mostly for the 116520 as these watches came in both rehaut engravings as well as non-rehaut engravings, making it viable for modders to mill the case from inside and shaving the rehaut engravings. Just a curiosity and a thought. Because the ARF is far ahead in terms of material used and case shape, bracelet feel, and other things aesthetically in which the Noob version does not offer. The only thing positive about Noob is the movement... and maybe the pusher shape. LOL

For the money you're about to spend on the mods - GOOD LUCK!

yes Domi does great work, but you have to be very, very patient (two month and up)

That’s the part I’m struggling with! Can’t wait to see my Daytona franken????
