One question, does the ARF bezel need platinum paint mod?

 

[ssouthall6]

If you want a working crono buy NOOB, but dial and bezel is totaly wrong(eccept 116520 dial white)and case is not perfect to lateral wiew( fat compared to gen) is a good base to franken for install genuine parts.
ARF you can wear it without mod but the thickness is 13.2mm,accept genuine crystal bezel and crown without mod.

Dial is totally wrong on 116520 white noob as well, still need the dial from ARF

Great analysis though, thanks for the pictures

Yes you are correct,but it is the best dial noob offers for daytona(ceramic version and black 116520 is very ugly...White it is passable
ARF Dial is the best...
Thank you !!!

This is the best franken I've ever seen！
Lugs look a bit different,noob's look sharper and longer. Did you use noob116500 or 166520 before starting franken? Noob's case looks fatter across the board. Is it caseback?
Forgive my poor English

I still think that Noob case is totally wrong, and biggest flaws for me on ARF dial V2 are that the subdials writings are centered instead of nearer to the center...

 

[markfisher]

What’s so wrong with Noob case?

 

[FelixDPeng]

gpvecchi I am choosing noob or arf, and I want to know what is wrong with noob's case? Is arf's case shape correct? Thank you my friend

Have you swapped the bezel from the previous pic (ceramic instead of steel)? What dial is mounted on this one?

my friend, congrats for this, is very stunning!
I'm near to pull the trigger for a Noob Daytona and always thought about a white dial 116520, also because I have 3 more watches with black dial...
I'm always tempted about the 116500 but unsure about the bezel.
Can you give me a suggestion about? If I go with the white 116520, there is something I need to to immediately?

116520 is the best for noob, dial is good but not perfect.
Other model(black, and 116500 have orrible bezel and dial)
Best mod for this watch is dial and hands genuine(or ARF dial)..

 

[Rolly123]

Yeah, I have the same question. Do you guys see any option how someone can combine those two at a reasonable effort?

I agree - would anyone be willing to create this noob/arf supermod and offer it for sale?

 

[markfisher]

shotgun could you show us with a drawing where/how was your case exactly modded?

 

[markfisher]

red yellow green blue... or somewhere else ?
