Are the dials of these white gold oysterflex subs v1, v2 or v2.2?

Thanks in advance.

That's a sweet example of the 116519. Have been researching this watch over the past month. Just not sure if I can live with what appears to be a dull platinum bazel. Good luck.

Sir,in the first two pics i don't mean the subs.The left red line to bottom of subdial indeed is little off.
I'm meaning the position of 1 o'clock marker against "U" and "R" letters in "HOUR" on the bezel.
I saw all of yours compiled pictures and i think they are perfect made.
I'm new in this nice forum and wаnt to learn more about 116500ln Reps because i'm planning to buy the Black and the Panda,but before this i want to make the right choice.
Thank you!

To be honest, the only watches that I have studied that closely are the SS 116500 and 116520 Daytonas.

But these sub-dials look great and don't appear to have any of the problems that the V1-V2 Black and White dial Noobs had.

So what's the question here?

If you look at the case lugs, you came see the two different angels of these pictures.
Looking at the red guide lines, the one on the left is not leveled.
They are both Noobs, if the triangle at 60 at the top is centered, then it's as good as a Noob Bezel gets.

The right one is gen.

That's what I get for making a quick reply on a low quality picture. (can't even blame it on having a couple beers)
At a glance, it looked like just another Noob Panda QC picture comparison with the red lines that where added.

Thanks for correcting me.

Thanks for your kind words...

Now you see why so many people would like to replace their Noob Ceramic Bezel with an ARF.

Yes,many of us likes ARF Bezel,and it's mainly because of this damn telltale Serif "R" letter. :)

So, why dytona noob is generally much expansive than arf one?

The Noob has a totally different movement and working sub-dials. That’s the main difference

Just received mine with an ARF clasp. My first rep and I’m very happy with it! I haven’t seen it next to an ARF so can’t comment on the bezel - May change it in the future.

Has anyone tried to pressure test theirs yet?

Don‘t drink and write.
Just start reading all the threads about the Daytonas, then you will know. This has been discussed many times. I am getting sick about it.
