It's my dream watch mate, it never leaves my wrist!

I am going to get the noob 116508LN with the 'Paul Newman' dial though, to see how it compares.

Also, the case on this one is heavily reworked but it's a v1 case, and as a result, while it looks closer to the gen, the official time end links are not especially well fitting. I may buy another noob and just use the case...every time I think I'm getting close to sorting my daytona conundrums out another complexity pops up :D

Also, on the end links, they aren't a perfect match with the gen gold

If someone need a gen daytona dial let me know :)

If you have something to sell you better post a sales ad or I'll treat you with something nicer.

ARF is so much better in everything, too bad for that bloody movement. Ive seen one in sale section and it was gen bezel for comparing and the gold tone is exactly the same

I think the gap has closed a bit to be honest.

The dial is still light years ahead on the ARF but there is little difference in the ceramic bezels now. The case is overrated on the ARF, the rehaut isn't good at all and the plating on the rose gold arf is laughable. I left a brand new case by the window and it started streaking. The noob on the other hand went in the vice and got machined, no problems no marks.

It's one from ziczacleather - it was actually meant for a JLC ultra thin moon, but we while I've been looking for the right strap I've been using this. It's a bit ill fitting as it's meant for a curved end but it looks quite nice

ssouthall6 would you be so kind to post some pictures of the 116508 Paul Newman after you have received it? I am strongly considering to buy the 116518 on Oysterflex.

Hello! any owner of this watch could tell us how the bracelet feel? Is it ARF quality? Any rattling noise or does it feel solid? Thank you!

efthimis nice bro. How's the longetivity of these gold plated daytonas?

Thanks man, it did hold up nicely from what I remember but as I mentioned it wasn’t my watch. I guess that the long-term issue with this kind of models would be on the crown mainly..
