Noob V4 Daytona's

How much are the ARF dials mate?

Is hard to find just the dial, most people buy the whole ARF just for the dial and swap it to sell the remaining with a loss

Fair enough, that’s what I remember. I would imagine the hands and bracelet too would be an upgrade from the ARF?

The general consensus is that ARF dial and bracelet is better vs the noob

bracelet yes, about the hands i think is not a straight swap

You can’t use the ARF hands, due to the different movement!

They can be modded to fit though right?

Here are some QC pics for a v4 i ordered. While the watch mostly looks good (low daytona, slim text, aligned bezel insert, fat subdials), i have the following issues:

1. SELs could be tighter
2. There seems to be a scratch on the bezel insert from 60 to 240
3. Dent on the left edge of the watch

I'm thinking of giving it the RL. Thanks for any inputs!

That's a perfectly fine watch, mate. You're seeing things...

It really hacks me off when dealers don't look at the obvious stuff like that dent (the picture is almost angled to actually show it to you!!), which is bloody obvious and they expect us to have an opinion in the hope that we might miss it. If we do miss it, I am concerned that the watch just goes back for the next punter in the hope that they miss it.

I have just received some bloody obvious repetitive QC errors from Puretime, that I was utterly shocked that they would even put them in front of me in the hope that I would miss it!

Care to share who the TD is??

I’m seeing the mark from 60 to 240 as well.

I would hope that a TD wouldn’t let something that obvious slide, but you never know.
Maybe ask them to try to wipe it off and re-take the pic?

I don’t see a dent on the watch. If anything I see the top of a camera and the cameraman’s hand on the reflection.

Yeah it looks like the reflection of the camera and the cameraman’s hand. Not a dent

[2841]

There's absolutely nothing wrong with that watch, in fact, the dial looks pretty good for a noob

[stevier88]

Clearly the reflection of the camera and hands taking the picture, seen that within a second. The scratch appears to be dirt/residue. Perhaps better, whoever ordered it to ask first and people looking to look properly before jumping to conclusions.

If this is the standard of watches going out and people rejecting them I feel sorry for TD’s.
