Looks great. The daytona text is not blood red, but that might be because of the lighting.

Subdials look good (not fat).

Im going to order one (of course)

Note: It is interesting that its significantly more $ than the RG versions on oysterflex. Wonder why

Really good watch compared to genuine pictures, the Dial and the Daytona (Red text) are slightly darker than genuine but that may be because of the lighting... The chrono pushers are longer than the ARF which is more Gen-like and the case around the crown is not as long and sharp as the ARF which is very good and more gen-like as well. This is really good work from NOOB combined with this crazy movement.... Hope they release more colors soon...

Oh yes, I was waiting for this one..
Now let’s see if the dial has been improved compared to the usual (minir) flaws of the previous references..

The ARF bezel still looks significantly better and more gen like. I wonder how easy it would be to replace this with the ARF bezel?

Excuse my (For a while resting from the watch world) eyes, what is the things that you see are off in the bezel?

The only problem with this one is that it is a white gold version. So they are not that hard to get hold of. Not very exclusive like the stainless steel.

I think it looks awesome I do understand why people complain about the fact sub dials but in reality I've put my Noob black were genuine black and yes you can tell the difference but it's not that bad.

This dial looks absolutely awesome with its tinges of sunburst. I'm definitely going to get one.

The best bit about Noob making such an excellent clone of 4130 movement is that Rolex are going to be eating their own arrogance soon around Daytona's like with sub- Mariners. Ever since the mega super clones from ARF have come out with sub- Mariners. The secondary market price has dropped substantially for a black sub.

Seeing this happen to secondary market pricing on the Daytona and the exclusivity drop as more people clone the 4130. Is the best thing to happen in the replica market four years :) sorry if it schadenfreude but I have on more than one occasion spoken to an authorised dealer and they've laughed at me when I've even attempted to buy genuine steel Daytona.

It's ridiculous that you can easily get hold of a bi-metal version from practically anywhere but you can't get a steel one. Looks like these days are coming to an end

I really want the Noob white dial but I am tempted to go for ARF today and get a noob down the line and merge the 2

I just want to firstly say that I'm being super picky and this is a great step forward. But you can see the difference in the thickness and clarity of the font here vs the ARF and gen. Look at the word UNIT or the numbers and arrows
k2wqRgN
for example.

That Gen pic isn’t even a real photo though.

It’s just a CGI of what Rolex want the watch to look like.

The Noob photos on Intime are shot in a very unforgiving light box.

Well, if we don’t overdo nitpicking, this watch is kinda superb, see(well, don’t oversee it, who knows what “flaw” might pop out) the dial, see the overall watch, it really is worth the money.

Thats fair. I really do hope you're right about the light box. I would love to see some wristies once someone has purchased it.

The dial improvement and the movement are just too good to turn down. As soon as its available in the white dial I think I will be purchasing... Anyone have any idea if/when the white dial will be released?

Is this dial better or is the ARF dial better? Any experts can chime in?
