Just for sharing

i had a Arf Franken 116520 with gen dials that I sold few months ago.

The only reason why The stock dial has to go is because of its fat sun dial. Well at least the ARF is not as bad as the Noob.

So I decided to build this almost gen looking (from the wrist of course) Daytona by installing the BP V2 Daytona dial. Bought it from Toro for 35USD

im not really particular about the print, spacing etc. Not that I or anyone else can see the difference or tiny little details. This is just to eliminate the biggest flaw which is the fat sub dial.

The bp v2 sub dial looks close to gen in terms of its thickness, tone etc from images I found Online

i also requested my watch Smith it add an extra gasket ring on the pusher screw sits higher making the pusher looks shorter like gen.

Not the perfect job. Maybe the dial is not as good as gen if you compare the tiny little details.

But worth the penny for those who are on a Budget and not wanting to go Franken ;)

ARF bezel is so nice! Great watch too!

Errr... Is that ARF bezel? Noob..
Saw a few arf V2 bezels, not as good as V1. Unless still can get V1 now or else Noob V2 bezel seems better for what can be purchase new from TD at the moment.

Dial is really really good in term of spacing and writing... only indexes seems a bit flat compared to gen (and even to ARF stock dial).

What kind of ring gasket you used for the pushers? (anyway i think now the screws sits is a bit to high).
