Currently in the market for a 116515 to drop my gen dial in. I have heard very good things about the ARF 116515, but would like to know if anyone has purchased the Noob 116515 w/SA4130 as to how its fit and finish is, RG colour and tone, as well as overall external case shape.

Gen 116515:

At the moment, the dial seems to be the biggest flaw, but also not my concern as I have a gen dial ready to take place.
Can anyone who has experience chime in?

Thanks

So - my Daytona 116515 - black face - oysterflex strap - just arrived today. Absolutely stunning - exactly as I was hoping it would feel - Oysterflex strap is perfect. Loving it. :)

Can you weigh the watch? I want to see how heavy the rep ones on Oyster Flex are. I think they will be very close to gen weight.

Here is my 116515. Absolutely stunning. I compare the rose gold color with my gen 126711chnr . It’s very close. Comparing on the weight, you would not really notice the difference. Since the watch has not much gold, and ceramic bezel. So I guess the weigh difference between rep and gen is very minimal and wont be so obvious

Great Pic‘s of a stunning watch!

How do you adjust the oysterflex strap? Does it work with any wrist size?

Thanks!

Hope to be able to contribute soon, the 116515 is a grail for me in gen, but need to give it a proper test drive so Im ordering a Noob.

The new noob movements are beautiful. Even though the ARF might be a better looking watch, the Noob will be a much better overall watch with the correct parts put in.
