Noob Daytona vs ARF Daytona

[jcher]

This is an ARF dial

I have measured its diameter and it is less than 29 mm - shouldn't ARF's dial be 29,6mm?

Please post a pic of the back

Sure, here you go !

Anyway even from the front you can spot an ARF dial from the border (thicker) and from the “ROLEX” font

Anyone running into an issue with the screw down pushers for the chrono function on the noob coming unscrewed/loose without realizing it? Just makes me a little nervous that I’ll wash my hands and not realize that’s it’s unscrewed and get water in. Any thoughts on how to correct this? I thought about the purple (lowest strength) loctite

I had the opposite happen to my ARF Daytona, the crown was impossible to unscrew and after some messing around I had to remove the rubber seal in order to be able to unscrew the crown freely.

If this is brand new, then it is a good price. ADs are offering on two tones up to 30% discount, they are happy if they find a buyer. All Daytonas loose money, not the SS 116500 and 116520. These 4 watches are in investment.

Here in Italy the two tone (new from AD) is at full price, if you can find it.

If you all don’t mind me asking....would anyone be willing to share how much the ARF Bezel, Dial, and gasket are from an AD?

AD? Quite a lot. TD dial is 60 USD or so

The ARF V1 dials are indeed 29.6mm Are you sure you are measuring correctly, are you using digital calipers?

Probably not as I don't have the adequate tools :/

Unfortunately, it is difficult for me to tell the dials apart since the "ARF's" sub-dials on the version I've received are the same as the Noob's

Interested in this, but don't worry too much about it. The screw down locks don't really provide any water resistance, they are only there to prevent the pushers from being pushed. The gasket that resists the water from coming in is on the case itself.

I think also, it is a Endlink problem. Case seems ok from the pictures.
You can ask your TD, from where you bought the watch.

Or you can ask Intime, they sell it separate --> Link: https://www.intime03.co/rollie/4043-daytona-116520-arf-1-1-best-edition-904l-ss-bracelet.html

The ARF subdial white index lines touch the inner subdial ring like the gen. The Noob white index lines do not, they "float" in the black subdial rings

ARF dial is on top

 

[Bobi01]

Thank you again... i will think about it because i need to pay again much money so i think better to save it for another watch...it was first time i buying like this replica and i didnt know what to look on qc.. overral very nice watch..
