Hi everyone!

I received yesterday my Noob Daytona V3.
The watch feels nice and I think the SEL‘s have a good quality. But I’m not sure, if the subdials are the right ones. Could you give me please some
information how the watch looks for you.

Many thanks!

Subdial finish on the black dial versions are not quite gen like unfortunately as they are too shiny. Try and get a modder to fit an ARF dial if that bothers you too much. Other than that it looks very good.

It looks great bro. What is the total waiting time since you placed your order?

I ordered 6/28 and it arrived 7/20. Was about 5 days for QC photos, then Li’s team swapped out the bezel for the CF bezel for me. Then shipped it ou a few days later. The major hold up was the post office really.

This is great, thanks for doing it and confirming the superior quality of ARF!!

Did you mean Noob lol? The black ARF dial has several issues in those .gif’s vs the noob V3

The bezel of the my V3 seems loose and was able to rotate freely. Does anyone with the watch have same issue?

Shouldn't be like this, is your crystal loose also? Maybe the gasket is damaged

Yes, I noticed the crystal is loose as well. Will using a crystal press help put it back in place?

Maybe burger your watch checked by a Watchmaker. There might be bigger issue going on. You really don't want to wear something with loose bezel and crystal, recipe for disaster.

Could anyone comment on subdial thin/fat thickness for this watch? Also from puretime like a previous post.
I did a comparison in photoshop with joint07's previous QCs and it does seem like the print on the subdials for this one are further away from the edge, although I don't know if that's just normal factory tolerances.

In love with this beauty

Amazing wrist shot. Enjoy the watch and wear in good health !! All Noob v3 SELs are this great. I am glad you waited and ordered the right one ;) The black grows on you with time.

Don't sweat on sub-dials, no one will notice. If you ever want to take it to the next level, invest in gen hands, 4130 service and CF bezel.
