Go for the white dial 116520, even if you prefer the Daytona C the white dial is better. I personally love the black dial, but the subdials are far too fat.

Hey man - to the AP guys out there this is standard price for a rep! What's the fuss?
Lol, you’re absolutely right

ARF v2 904 116520 black dial is 141grams, Noob 116520 316 is 138 gram....one link removed on both watches. Concider the different movement and consider bezel size, noob bezel is 2.7 mm and ARF 2.5 but the shape is not gen.

Well, ask the rollie guys who complain about having an almost perfect watch at the cost of a gen clasp
Go figure. I always knew rollies territory was not my place, I feel dosconnected here, my AP OCD is nothing compared to the overall spirit here. So from now on I’ll keep an eye on the exchanges but keep quiteopcorn2:Princewilliam fair enough comment #51 but those subdials aren't a minor flaw. They are heinous and very obvious so criticism of that is not nitpicking - I do think some other "flaws" are nitpicking though
There are several threads, where this was discussed.
Yes, but has to be shaved. ARF dial needs shaving to fit the Noob.
Possible and a very good way to have a nice dial in the Noob.

Once more,this thread is pathetic.
Members who are bored searching the forum comment what are the flaws etc..questions that have already being answered million times.
Again ARF vs Noob.
To everybody who is claiming for the price of Noob.We all paid big money for a shitty 7750 in the ARF.
Everybody paid 600+ for shitty APs, that had nothing to do compared to gen.
It all comes down to personal preference,i read a few claiming i dont use the chrono bla bla bla so ARF is better,piss off, Neither ARF nor Noob are gen,
both are reps,decent ones.When you buy one of these two makers you buy a rep not a gen,so details that can be seen with a microscope are no flaws.
this is the reason i stopped posting too much in the forum,the conversations are all toxic,from ocd guys paying a fraction of a gen price and demanding a gen watch.
both watches are reps,just enjoy the better ARf bezel or the 4130 clone movement, lol.

You have a point (to a point). Try to understand though, these watches cost double/triple what they did a few years ago. You can argue that the clone movement or the 904L steel justifies the cost or not, but it can be hard to reconcile how a factory is able to master those pretty complicated aspects yet is still unable to get a (relatively) simple thing like the dial right.
Besides, we're in a unique position where some of our observations/critiques actually make it back to the factories via TD's being active on the forums. Sometimes a little bitching and whining serves a purpose
Look at the font on the ROLEX
Quite clearly incorrect and quite clearly Noob.
Just a reiteration for those that can't use the search bar:
Noob is great apart from dial and bezel insert (every model)
ARF is great apart from movement (non working chrono), thickness (too fat because of the movement, deco plate and caseback), pushers (incorrectly angled)
Case is arguably slightly nicer on ARF although the 904 looks to have remedied this.
ARF crystal is nicer
Hands are better on the noob
Bracelet - no outright winner
To those asking about frankening:
1. ARF and BP dials you may be able to get through a TD. To get either to fit you need to shave the dial as both are 1mm too thick. Gen dial fits without mods. Check the modders section, the guys that have done this are the likes of guru, slaughterer62 and @misiekped
2. You cannot buy the ARF bezel separate you have to buy the entire case set. Insert fits no problem
3. You can swap the parts over and sell the donor watch and that's probably the most cost effective way of doing this
