Your SEL look very good @phvavai
Here are my QC, still asking for more pics for the SEL. Hopefully i can get mine as good as yours.
Notice the little gap on the bottom right SEL on mine:

Hi folks sorry for derailing the conversation, I’m going to attempt the ARF dial and bezel franken onto my Noob once I receive it. Question: I remember reading online to remove the stem in winding position not time setting position. Can someone confirm? I’m guessing that is the Noob 4130 movement, is it same for ARF movement? Thanks all.

Here is a picture of a 7750 bp dial with the big hole in the middle, shaved and placed on a noob 4130 movement.
In my opinion not the right way to go

guru i was thinking about a Molotow paintmod on the Noob Daytona. Would it match the color „correctly“ or is the gen daytona bezel color different to the platin like on sub‘s etc?

Not sure about the Molotow paintmod but the color on the Daytona bezel is the same as on the Sub.I sent a broken Daytona bezel to USdesign? but never got any feedback.

Than the Molotow can also work for it. Maybe i‘ll give it a try.
What is US Design?

The dial in this pica seems glued decentered, but yes the hole seems bigger than the others. Have you other pics of this noob with the BP dial my friend?

2 question about the ARF V1

1. how can the dial be centered better? how?

2. is there any good aftermarket caseback (thinner than arf)? i know that the 23j daytona caseback fits, but no td sells the caseback alone...
