Ordered mine on 9/19 from Intime, white dial ceramic was unavailable so settled for black dial.
9/20 - Paid
9/28 - Noticed 904L white dial preorder is listed
10/3 - Pay the difference and change my order to 904L white dial
10/5 - Receive QC photos a watch, a black dial ceramic 904L watch
I'm told the white dial is out of stock, even though I confirmed with Ryan that it was available before I payed the additional $80 for the 904L version.
I would have just stuck with the 316 version because you really can't tell a difference.
I approved the QC of the black version on 10/7 rather than wait the month I was quoted and now just waiting for the watch to ship.
I was eventually going to change the dial anyway I guess.
Update received my watch on 10/11. It's an amazing watch other than the wrong subdials. Time to search for a white dial to replace it.
Anyone recommend a modder in the US to shave a dial and install it? Not sure if anyone in the US has done this yet.
im in a similar situation, i ordered the 316, now told they will only be making the 904L - no big deal i paid the difference today - thing is i have a gen white dial and bezel - so i just want to get my hands on the movement.
also if anyone has any recs on who could do the dial swap that would be much appreciated
well i just got my QC pics - and its for the ceramic (dark bezel) not what i ordered but i figure it doesnt make much of a difference since im putting in gen bezel and dial. only thing i wonder is which rep dial and bezel has the best resale since ill have no need for them and will list them?
also not exactly sure what to look for in the QC - verything looks lined up to me but very hard to nitpick too much

looks like it's out of stock...
Anybody ordered one recently?
My last rep.
Is the dial on black or white closer to gen? I know the flaws, but is any one of them better out of the box?
Generally the black dials from noob, JF, ARF etc are closer to gen compared to white ones.
However in this specific instance, the subdial surroundings (silver on black or black on white) are much fatter on the Noob than the gen. This is immediately noticeable on the black dial, but somewhat harder to notice on the white dial.
On the other hand, the ARF dial is almost flawless and I suppose these will start popping up on M2M sales in the following months. It fits the Noob V2 904 model with a little shaving.
In my opinion, a Noob V2 904 with ARF dial (& bezel) and ARF 904 bracelet is something that would fool 95% of the people in the watch business upon inspection, without having a gen next to it to compare. I even think many watchsmiths will open the caseback and start working on Noob's SA4130 before starting to notice that there's something wrong and it's not a real rolex movement. However, I'm no expert, just a fan of swiss automatic watches and their respectively replicated asian clones.
Been waiting for 3 weeks.. and He said maybe wait another 3 weeks. Ordered from Andrew Trusty Time.
