Noob Daytona vs ARF Daytona

[Rolly123]

Looking to purchase the ARF 116515 on oysterflex. Have a 6.5inch wrist and was wondering if stock length will fit with the micro adjustments or if I need to order XS length straps on top?

Think from some research I might be EE and ED, but not sure which size it comes with.

Any help much appreciated!

Heard a rumour that ARF is coming up with 4130 clone movement daytonas. I have asked my TD to check but does anyone have anything on it?

Who said that rumour? That is what we waiting for

What mods would an ARF v2 need to make it more gen-like?

Does someone have issues like this with SELs? SELs are little longer than lugs
Can this be lugs problem or endlink problem,could i solve this with new bracelet?

I believe it's because the case shape isn't very good, the lugs are not symmetric and sometimes short. My bottom right lug is slightly shorter then the left lug. My top lugs are both short. I replaced my noob bracelet with an ARF and its the same result.

So you think that it is a case problem and new bracelet wont fix problem?
Wonder if people who wear gens can reckognize this or this is in our minds only haha...

Mine is V1 and yes it's a case problem. The arf bracelet didn't make a difference at all. If it bothers you too much just switch to a leather strap and it's very hard to tell.
People who wear gens cannot tell unless it's someone from our community. With the SA4130 even if someone takes it off your hands it won't give you away. Actually most people have no idea how to use the chronograph

Well I think on the gen the sel is slightly longer than the lugs.

Mine is arf v2 and this is my second arf with this problem.. on first watch i didnt saw on qc and second one i got watch that i didnt ordered,TD switched it with someone else and said me to send it back to china and i didnt want to risk because this watch have perfect bezel crisp numbers and perfect aligned and this SELs was only flaw,so i decide not to send it back...now this flaw really bothers me

In your mind only, the majority of gen owners aren't watch enthusiasts and only buy them for the prestige and because they can afford them, they don't notice tiny things like that

I have a gen Daytona sell is definitely not longer than the lugs it’s a tad shorter. I don’t think it’s a massive tell though those previous images are super zoomed in. In reality I bet it’s hardly noticeable to naked eye.

Enjoy it for watch for what it is I say.

If you dont care about chrono and what movement is inside arf for sure,if you wanna clone movement and working chrono go for noob... best is franken noob with arf bezel

 

[HotNHorny]

If you want full working chronograph and all functions like gen then go for noob... if you dont need chronograph and you want more gen-like look and feel then go for arf,but you must know that you need watchsmith to remove useles deco plate and replace rotor for havier one...why? Because you have glued screews and jewels on deco plate that can fall in the movement and cause problems,and light rotor cant auto wind well,you will need to manual wind it every few days but with new 7750 rotor it wind very well and no need to manual wind

How much should it cost to remove the Deco Plate and replace the rotor with a heavier one?

Cost of labor and materials. Ordered mine through BK and have heard great things. Hoping this is something he would be able to do before I receive the watch.

It cost me around 40-50 dolars,my watchsmith did all job...

I plan on wearing my ARF DAYTONA daily as soon as I receive it. Will I have any issues with the auto winding? Will I need to constantly mannually wind it each day?

Hopefully
