Good job my friend!
I’ve personally shaved my BP dial, but on the central parts actually there are are residual of rubber with that i’ve fix the dial on the dremel. I used the same method as the user who showed above with the dremel BUT with shiny black dial there will be some halos left by the rubber that I think have ruined the dial.
What is the method that you have use on your work if i can ask?

great job @misiekped
I have all the ARF parts for a black and white 116500 but the noob donar watches are still missing.
I will use a lathe to shave the dial. Will mount the dials on a piece of brass and cutt them down with low speed. Have already tried it and it works good. Lukko already reported the problem with the dremmel.

You can get BP dial from some TD. But you can’t get unfortunally the ARF bezel beacuse they sell all complete set case (just case with bezel, glass and caseback) at 188$.
I’ve buy mine at 50€ from a friend of mine that installed a gen bezel in his ARF daytona

So sorry to hear about your dial bro. Wish I could have gotten this posted sooner. I improved both the anchoring method and the protection, as I had said was needed after my last trial effort. First I taped up the bit shank to increase its diameter slightly. Then I used a stack of washers to give it a solid backing - no wobble from unevenly compressed rubber. On the dial side I used double layer dial protective discs, a rubber O ring and a fiber washer to compress the O ring uniformly. Works fine, no dial damage on a glossy dial. I am going to do this on my ARF dial when it arrives.
While this worked for me on a junk dial, I caution anyone thinking of doing this to practice first on spare dial they don't care about ruining.

misiekped Hey bro, can you share with us how you mounted the ARF dial onto the Noob movement since the dial foot layout is different?

Does the marker you lost have feet on it? If not it would be a little easier to fit it from the Noob. They are not identical in appearance only you can decide if the match is OK. Some markers can be a pain to remove unless you dont care about salvaging the dial. They can be glued on pretty tight. If you dont care about the Noob dial I would elavate it level (use the dial feet and make a 3rd prop to sit level) and let it soak in a tray of acetone (goof off or nail polish remover). That will loosen the glue. I would adjust the level of acetone so it covers the base of the markers only so as to work on the glue, but not let it rise to the top of the markers so as not to destroy the lume.
Sorry to hear about losing a marker, thanks for sharing. I have a containment box I'll use when I do mine. I made it to keep flying parts from disappearing.

BTW what speed was your dremel on? I started at 5000 and then increased to 10000 but did not go above that.
Looks like extra dabs of epoxy on all marker feet are in order on the back of the dial.

I don't know, it's not a gen dremel. It has 8 speeds, i started with 1 and then increased to 4. I used a big flat screwdriver for giving to the sandpaper an hard surface. It took maybe 15min in total. I wish i had your smart idea of using a containment box
