For a gen Daytona you need to wait years.......

I like to find out how many people have ordered the new noob Daytona with 4130 . I ordered 2 about 4 weeks ago. No QC pics until now. Rumors are, it will take another 4 weeks. Just 1 thread here on RWI with a prototype. Please post your orders.

Some TDs said it should be available by the end of the month/April. Not so sure if it's delayed.

What I heard is that Noob's production capacity has been down for the past month.

Only additional piece of info I have is the platona will be fixed when the dial mistake sells out, according to puretime. That's the best looking one and the only one with a glaring mistake

Although I am tempted to get the V1 just to examine the movement up close, I am going to wait until a V2 or V3 before I order in hopes that the obvious imperfections on the dial and case are improved upon.

I understand, I have 2 ARF waiting for the movement implementation.....will use the movement and the rest comes from ARF. But until now, there are not so many orders and noob cannot deliver. I have waited for my gen daytona a long time, looks like the rep world is playing the same game...

My TD told me that they would be able to pick it up from Noob this weekend. Hopefully will have QC pics on Monday.

Had it a day now
Case and bracelet are about perfect. Sels have been fixed. Case shape is spot on as far as I can tell. Perfect thickness with the water thin case back
Thus far movement is like butter. Keeping perfect time and zero rotor noise
Dial and bezel are junk but I don’t care because I have a gen panda racing dial and hands set coming which are going on

Noob hit a home run as far as I’m concerned. Wish it was 904 but honestly I can’t tell the difference it’s just nice to know it’s the correct alloy.
Perfect watch for a Franken project.
Eager to see which OEM movement parts it may accept as well.

Anyone saying these are delayed until the fall are full of sh*t.
But then again there’s a lot of aholes in these forums who claim to have insider knowledge who have zero knowledge about anything.

Will start to franken the 2 watches with gen dial and a mix of ARF 904 parts.
Dials are cheap now.
