Hi all, I have a Daytona 116520 ARF V2 with black dial. I put on a CF bezel and modded moviment to 12.5 mm. I used a noob slim case too.
How can i give a little more gray color to the chronographs on the dial? they are too silver.
Thanks to all
Fabio

Beautiful watch! I've ordered a new 116520 black from CF. I'll be interested to see how it compares. I'm curious about your bezel swap. I thought the ARF bezel was one of the best. Do you think the CF bezel is better (and why)?

Oops! My comment about the appearance of your watch was actually referring to the picture in the next post from Lovegmt73.

Hello dear forum ,
As a newbie, can any of you tell me what is the difference between these two 116500 from Noob ?

Thanks in advance

I have already had a look at them.
Would you recommend it rather than the Noob?
What is the reason for the enormous price difference between the two on the left?

Noob Daytonas are not available anyway. Read the Clean Factory (CF) Daytona thread to better understand how they compare

Hello
As you say
Perfect clones does not have it and from Jtime I am still waiting for the answer.

It will then probably the Clean

Clean is the better rep anyway

Thanks for useful details and information on buying the best Daytonas !!

 

[nemoauditur]

Great, thanks!

 

[Abarthnaples]

Sorry can someone tell me where i can buy the best superclone actually?

Head over to the Trusted Dealer section - any of them should be able to supply it but expect delays because of CNY

Thank you for very detailed post and for the time you took putting all these informations together

 

[Mr.Swackhammer]

This write up deserves so much appreciation! My hat goes off to you OP!

Great write up and interesting read. Looks like you saved me a bunch of hours reading through numerous Daytona threads!.

One question I have…..if you already owned a 116250 4130 noob (white dial), would surely make more sense now to upgrade the dial and bezel to CF (if you can get your hands on the parts of course). As opposed to modding all the ARF parts.

I was going to buy a new daytona rep (ref 116520 white dial)

Went to one TD (JTime is the one I chose because is the one I've seen the most surfing this forum) and saw there are 2 particularlly models: NOOB and CF.

From my previous searches I've seen NOOB as a fan-favorite, but I've also acknowledge that the NOOB factory has been victim of some raids recently, so I'm curious why there is still some stock of if, is it legit?

But coming to my biggest concerns: which one is better? What are the differences? (bezels, dials, cases, bracelets, movements, etc...) I'm asking here for help as my non-trained eye can't really see the differences between these two models, so I'm begging for someone's help.

Here they are the two links I'm referring to

NOOB: https://jtime.io/us/daytona-116520-n...al-sa4130.html

CF: https://jtime.io/us/daytona-116520-c...al-sa4130.html

What justifies the difference in price? Is it only because of the raids ?

Thanks in advance to everybody for the help, I'd love to learn more from experts

It is doubtful that Jtime actually has Noob stock. The Clean version is excellent and cheaper. The answers to all your questions are in this thread and the newish Clean Daytona thread - worth reading if you want to learn.

One question I had for the experts, is there a difference between the CF Black Dial and Panda Dial? Is one more gen than the other?
