TD said this was with CF bezel but I will confirm that.

Regarding the clasp I was talking about this:

Hi guys hate to be that guy but as I'm an utter alien to daytonas can anyone chime in if this is a V3? Sub dials look alright and same for the R on the bezel

Cheers :)

Probably just the photos quality

I thought that, but in real life the dial from V2.2 appear like the first photo... I always thought that in photos things can only appear worst without a photoshop touch. I don't think the second photo had a retouch...

Is anybody else having slow shipment from China?

My Noob Panda V3 was sent by PT two weeks ago ... it was marked as "exported to the UK" on the 12th ... that status is yet to change.

It's now the 18th. Usually it takes a day or two MAX to land in the UK from China.

The SEL’s on the black dial look bad because the pin has come out.

They’re both the older V2 models, not the V3.

he did a post just the case, maybe putting it back the pin didn't fix to send me this picture. The R looks correct on them, not like the v2

Both do have the older V1-V2, V2.2 Noob Bezel...

But the really interesting part is the 116520 ROLEX font on the Black dial.
- The Rolex Font is different leaving more space around the letters on the newer 116500 dials.
- The Rolex name is about the same width, but the spacing of the wording under it is narrower.
- If you compare the location of T in Oyster in relation to the R in Rolex, the difference is easy to see.

If the Black dial watch had a Stainless Steel Bezel it would finally be a correct Black 116520 Noob...

Or is it a 116520 ARF with a Ceramic Noob Bezel? The pushers do look a little long?

So you're saying they got like ARF, changed the bezel or the dial? became a franken instead of a Noob or an ARF
