Im not nit picky by any means and I am still very much a newbie learning from the veterans but the font is painfully obvious as long as you're looking at it. I think we need to call a spade a spade and a difference in font like that is definitely noticeable. If you enjoy your stock noob watch, all the power to you and enjoy it to the fullest. But anyone claiming there's indistinguishable difference / requires scrutinizing to see it is probably overcompensating for the fact that they do not want to have to spend the extra dough on a clearly superior ARF Bezel.

You're Saying I Can Sell?
after wearing it imo it gets better. the man-malade tightens it up. it feels like my arf sub braclet.

Arf bracelet is definitely better quality, whether you can get it to fit the noob correctly is another issue
I have both. It is nigh on impossible to tell the difference. Maybe I got lucky but my noob was really well finished.
Tbh I think I prefer the noob clasp! What do you guys think and why?

I agree, there is not much difference with the bracelets. I always do the oil treatment.
The latest batches from noob had an issue with the clasp, just see my QC. I accepted because I had 2 perfect noob clasps.
Regarding the rehaut alignment, from 6 daytonas, all are perfect, much better the ARF

Agree it`s a small difference once on the wrist. The finish on this Arf I had was much nicer than my Noob. I'm not too concerned about bracelets and SEL though it doesn't interest me much. For me after the Arf dial and bezel has been Installed its good to go.

What do you mean by oil treatment, my bracelet on noob v2 is making some sound and it is not smooth, does the oil treatment fix that ?

That's not what I said, I was referring to the R on the bezel, and if you can see that difference from a distance you have better vision than superman, which I doubt. If you see my further comment the Noob V2.1 is indistinguishable to the Gen on the wrist or even in hand. You are free to spend whatever you want to make yourself happy with the watch after all that's what this thing is all about. Enjoy

Couldn't agree more. In hindsight I feel I was such an asshole with my TD when QC-ing it...then the watch arrived and those details everyone CAN'T LIVE WITH are impossible to discern for a 19.5/20 vision like mine
That is the problem when we are all looking at zoomed in photos on a huge computer monitor. This watch is a mere 40mm!

WD40 penetrate every crevices of the bracelet and very difficult to rinse off. Your wrist will always smell mineral oil for weeks

Finally receive it, what a amazing rep ... the movement runs so great , and the overall build quality is amazing , ok maybe the bezel a little dull .... but all the others parts are perfect ! i'm agree that we are maybe too nitpicker since this watch is only 40mm ...

The bracelet feels like gen after the treatment
