Mate, this is a Noob with gen dial, and ARF bezel and bracelet.....I think is more than enough for a great rep; ARF dial is gorgeous and should be a perfect choice for a first step modding/frankening Daytona, but gen dial has that little bit more.....
I agree with u that a gen bezel is not so different from an ARF one....but is different just enough to give u that feeling i am not able to describe u.
Last batch of NOOb Daytona seems to have a better quality bracelet, but I agree ARF is better....I am considering to purchase one from Li.
Hoping to be clear and comprehensive (English is not my mother tongue) ;-)

All good buddy. Appreciate the input! I agree gen will always be better but to be frank the microscopic differences don’t justify the the significant price difference, for me personally. That’s a beautiful piece you’ve got, wear it in good health!

Thank you mate! Gen Hands will definitely come in the future.
But right now I have to many projects to finish and too less Budget;)

Beautiful ! Specs ? looks like 116519/116509 hybrid with gen dial

Wow, close enough ! It’s a base 116500 noob v3 panda, ARF bracelet and clasp and prof xtal x2. I’ve swapped a gen 116519 Dial, gen hands, and a CF bezel.

what made you say 116509 ?

VERY good result :)
i wasn't sure about the bracelet (116500 or 116509 base), but after reflexion, much easier to do it your way, it was silly to even mention 116509..
Really great choice, love this dial :)

....have no words, this from NOOb is by far the best Daytona rep in the market....this watch doesn't need mod, maybe a gen gasket if u want a noticeable upgrade; will be my next purchase, and after this pic i am even more convinced ;-))
