Which sub $500 Daytona?

[ijinxd2]

Was about to pull the trigger on a Daytona, until I realized that there's a ton of debate about which is the most accurate (aesthetics, compared to gen). I'm looking for a movement that'll last and functioning chrono. Any suggestions? I don't mind a few extra mm in thickness.

I would recommend you to read the ton of debate hehe

and then stick to NOOB if you want a functioning chrono. Stick to ARF if you want the safer route without sub dial functions at 3 and 9.

The modified A7750 for all other Daytonas (even though it is fat like a burger) is unreliable and the watches dont look like daytonas.

Thanks, Bionone! I did read through quite a few posts, but that confused me even more heh! So you'd say the $100 price different between the A4130 ARF and SA 4130 Noob isn't justified if chrono isnt important? I'm actually okay with nonfunctioning 3 and 9 subdials since I rarely use the chrono feature (just like knowing that it functions) as long as it has a running seconds. I'm guessing on the gen, the 3 and 9 don't run unless the chrono is activated.

go for ARF if you do not care about chrono function

ARF it is. Thanks everyone

Just in case you didn’t read already, that’s one of the main threads about comparing the noob/arf Daytona
