The dial seems a new batch ... look at the @3 sub dial , the "10" seems more higher and the "20" too lower

Very strange
Same thing for the QC posted by 5711

It's me and my eyes or they mess somewhere ?

I'm thinking of buying one of these but want to get an ARF bezel. I asked ChazingTime if they could get me just the ARF bezel or just the watch head, they said ARF aren't willing to sell just the parts alone. So I'd have to buy both watches, swap the bezels over and then try to sell the ARF watch with the noob bezel installed. Would that be difficult to sell?

I've seen people buy the ARF base with Noob bezel for cheap before i think. You'll have to price it right.

Just took a second look and I agree with you about the "10" seeming higher. Could mine be a V2.3?

In the Gen dial, the "10" is slightly closer to the bottom than the top.

This just another reason why people replace Noob dials with AR Factory dials.

These are the qc photos of the one I just accepted. For reference to the 10 and 20 issue to me this one looks more centered in the ring then the previous. Maybe it’s a dial to dial issue?
Any way here’s the pic for reference

This is a QC picture from March and another from about a week ago...

It looks like this could just an intermittent variation or a minor flaw in Noob's manufacturing process or the production process of whoever supplies the dials to Noob.

March 28, 2019... Right Click and Open Image in a New Tab to see it Larger...

Guys- Just received my Noob v2 Daytona. It is great but the the bracelet really is a disappointment. It is light and chintzy. I am very unimpressed. What is the best replacement braclet you guys are finding out there? How much and where to buy?Also the watch crystal seems to be too thick. Anybody else seeing this too? I bought from Torobravo. Great experience. Had to use western union but it was a fast turnaround. From western union to Qc pics to delivery in 2 weeks. Great TD. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Thank you so much for always providing these comparison pictures. With these faults in the "V2.3" dial, do you think dial swap with the ARF dial would be worth it?

Was it like this from the factory? If so, another thing to add to the QC photo request list!

Upon closer inspection, it seems like the v2.3 did improve on the "3" as it is now closer to the bottom than the top. However, this was at the cost of the "10" flaw.

Welcome! Its been mentioned a few times, but both these points you raise are flaws of the Noob watch. ARF supposedly have a better bracelet but its not a 1:1 switch as you will have SEL gap problems. Alternatively, you could replace the clasp only. The crystal can be replaced with gen.
