Gen Daytona vs Noob V1-V2 and V2.2 Daytona vs ARF V2 Daytona

[Kmmas]

Guys is there a way to save a thread so I can view it later? I’ve been trying to fund a way but am unable to

I read in a Chinese forum that ARF talked with noob to do a cooperation Daytona with 4130. So it's not unlikely.

Would a gen or prof xtal improve the ARF by a lot or is the stock xtal good enough?

I contacted Ryan (Intime) yesterday about a Noob V2.2 and he said he couldn't get any "for a while". Just wondering if anyone knows a TD that has these in stock now?

White dial, Noob, 2.2V with s/s band 116500. THANKS! Ed (Australia).

I received QC yesterday for the same watch as above and some Noob parts, so they are around (I don't use a forum TD). Maybe try Puretime.

Thanks, tried Puretime and their site says they have a V2 avilable in 904L for $US688, so I'm guessing this is the V2.2. seeing it's in 904L and so pricey?

Alsways ask for availability. Our TD's website are usually not up to date.

They are all "V2.2" now and they are all around $US688.

Is it still needed for the 116500 to go with the ARF V2 Dial?
Since the Noob 116500 V2.2 Dial should be almost the same if not better now?

Or Im thinking wrong? was going to buy a Noob V2 and change the Dial from the ARF V2

Open to opinion, Southall posted in the other Daytona thread that he prefers the dial and bezel of the ARF, so no clear winner. both have their pros and cons

Everything showed up with DHL today. I'm really impressed with the fast shipping. 2 days from Hong Kong to my house in Mexico.

The watch looks amazing, and all the nitpicking we do online on super zoomed shots, is to be honest a bit ridiculous. On the wrist, this watch has no tells. You gotta bring out a magnifying glass to see any kind of difference. The weight is exactly like gen. And after i gave the bracelets a spa treatment (Just soaked in soap and water, followed på shampoo/conditioner) it feels smooth.

The ARF 116500 dials are still better quality overall and the silver colored sub-dials are more correct on the ARF Black dials.

You would still have to source an ARF dial and shave it to fit the Noob case, so many believe that extra cost and effort is not worth the differences.

Spoke to Pretime and they said they have them on back order, so I'll wait till someone on here says they have one delivered and then I'll order one.

Hard to tell from that picture... looks like an ARF.

 

[WatchaholicMallorca]

so this happened to my ARF, now thinking of replacing it, am I right in saying the noob v2.2 and the ARF bezel and dial is the best way to go? Wondering if that’s worth doing or simply replacing the crystal
