Ordered the V2 just before the announcement of the V3 and got QC pics today. I'm not familiar with Rolex reps at all so a bit help is wanted pls.
Is this the V2 or V3 and are there any flaws that I should look for and I as a Rolex Noob not will see.
I put the grid on it myself and alignment looks good.

That's a V2

Ah, damn, I see it now also. it's the right "leg" of the R that is more pointy, right?

What would be the advice here? I can ask to replace it with a V3 now it's still at the dealer..

You should change if you have an option. Now you know it's a v2 with the pointy leg and you will forever look at it.

Speaking from personal experience. Ignorance is bliss.

why v2? Ask your TD to change v3.
No flaws you need to look for. Just nonrmal QC. check alignment of dial and markers.

Just got an email reply from Puretime regarding the new V3 Daytona Lume colors.

They say that "Noob made a mistake", but they changed the color on their website back to Blue.

Hi guys! This is my first post, just registered bit have been checking out this forum for a while.
Just had a chat with Puretime regarding the lume situation, this is our conversation:

"Hello! I have a question about the new Noob Daytona 116500 V3. Great watch by the look of it, but why does the lume look green on the photo? It's supposed to be blue right?

i am sorry the factory may made a mistake

Ok, is the whole batch like that? Because you have them in stock right. I want to order one.

it is back ordered. You will need to place the order and join the waiting list. It could take 2- 3 weeks

Ok, but that will have the correct lume I hope?

we don't know,sir. we can only know till they release new stocks"



So, what do you guys think that means? Did they get their pics from Noob or did they get a pre-release watch for review? Don't know how that usually works. Also, could Noob really be stupid enough to mess up a whole batch of watches with incorrect lume?

I will wait or get the TD to send you lume shots during QC. Worst case scenario is have funds with the TD until Noob sort their shit together for this V3 or order another model.

Here’s my QC

Bezel’s slightly rotated but otherwise looks alright to me

Not 100% surep given the plastic, but SELs seem improved. I'm curious to see pics when you receive it

Where did you order yours? The only TD I've found so far is PureTime, but they don't have any in stock yet.
