I had something similar happened when I removed the bracelet from my watch and put it back on. It was nice and tight before and then afterwards it was loose like that. Turns out even though the spring bar was in the hole, it wasn't perfectly inside the hole. I had to remove it and put it back on a few times before it was back on nice and tight like before. Not sure if this is your issue but I'm just sharing my expereince.

Removed it a couple times and got it back on, unf that didn’t help. As far as I can see the springbars Sit quite good in there.

Puretime did something similar to my purchase too. Supposedly solved a problem when all they did was hold it at a certain angle or prop with their fingers to give the appearance of a better alignment.

Will never ever buy from them again.

Oh wow that’s crazy. Actually always had a good experience. But nevertheless, this is obvious and would it be on a watch for 150$ i would have said ok whatever, but with shipping I payed 750$........

Can you take a pic back if the watch to show the end link with the lugs to see how is the fit?

Also have noted what another user mentioned, the pins of the spring bars are a bit crooked. But I can’t imagine that this is the only thing leading to that.

May I ask the experts here: on the latest batch of the black 116500 - how shiny are the subdial rings? They used to be much more bricht than gen. Is this better now?

Just received a v3 and Arf for a build straight from a TD and the noob doesn’t have the thick v3 subs or skinny zenith sh!t being shown recently.

At first glance this Noob dial isn’t looking bad. Will check it out properly later and post better pics. If someone could put them side by side with a gen that would be great. Seeing different batches of ARF and now noob dials recently.

Not necessarily

I got this qc on Wednesday. Awful. Not an issue for me because I can change the dial but it’s as bad as a v1 dial.

Well, "latest" has been out for a few days I think.

I received mine mid February, exactly the same as "latest". It also seems to me the Daytona text is closer to the subdials than the "old" one.

Accepted QC from last week, watch arriving today.. I am not nitpicking as I have a genuine black ceramic Daytona, it’s a rep and looks fine to me, I am not chasing perfection from a $700 watch. I have left my genuine Daytona to another country and I cannot get it for now due to Corona quarantine etc so I am happy to get this today :)
I ordered a 116503 for a friend as well so it’s a double treat day

The O in ROLEX is still wrong on every noob dial except the new Paul Newman, which is fantastic
