No idea bud, it’s a Noob SA4130 and I’m happy with it so doesn’t really bother me v1 or v2.

Same for me buddy!! I’ve already got a used gen bezel and a new crystal. May do the dial and hands but I’ll run it for a few weeks first.

Wanted to go with the traditional stainless bezel like you did. Just love the panda contrast with ceramic bezel. Would love to do a panda racing dial but they are $$. I know it would be fantasy but looks awesome.

I wish Noob would offer this grey dial. I love that look.

Might wait on it a bit, should be a logical next offering along with some YG choices.

Anyone had a rep Oysterflex? Are they worth having?

Are all the noob s 116520 ans 116500 are 316L ?
And all the ARF s 116520 and 116500 are 904L ?

Do you think noob will upgrade to 904?

waiting for these to restock is painful

Flaw are the dial and bezel

I can't agree with timnic54 that the bezel is better on noob. Above shows noob>gen>ARF. Noob engravings are too skinny, too shallow and the triangles are too small in relation to the numbers. That said, the ARF samples regularly have alignment issues.

Dial - top is gen, middle is noob, bottom is ARF. You can see that noob didn't quite get the ROLEX right. Unfortunately it is the thing you see most prominently on the dial.

However, if you notice the dial it is pretty easy to see the pinions on the subdial hands. Noob are working so the pinions are normal. ARF is not working so they look like they have been glued on. Very disappointing and a deal breaker for me.

If I had to take one and accept the flaws it would be the noob 116500. If I wanted to push the boat out I'd either get noob 116500 and the ARF and just use their insert and dial. If I wanted to franken with gen dial and bezel it would be noob 116520.

I believe this has been discussed in the very first post by Timnic.

I remember reading that the white dial is slightly better than the black, but it should be your personal preference on the color since this watch itself is already breaking barriers.

I got it from Puretime

Fantastic looking one as well. I was torn between the 116500 vs 116520.

Decided on the ceramic one due to the bezel. Although guru concluded that the white 116520 is the closest!

From looking at the two versions just posted here the 116520 would definitely be my choice, the sub dials on the ceramic are still too big and a huge tell.
