hi, finally puretime sent me the qc photos of the replacement dial to mine, but I don't like the crown, it looks too flat, what do you think?

it is just a 2D piece of metal crown. might want to request for another one if possible. This is the kind of things that QC should address, not the typical nitpicking that we see on the forum.

Well here it is after a long time hanging out on threads like these I finally got my own Panda.
With the Holy Trinity of a Noob v4 case and strap, ARF dial, ARF clasp and CF bezel thanks to Rubberman who had one (well, actually 2) up on the m2m sales board a little while back. It took me a while to find the time to unpack, resize the strap-had to take one link out- and change the clasp becuase work being crazy busy.

It's a beaut folks! For the fence-sitters there is no need to hold off at this time It is a beautiful watch. It is not as good at being a watch as my Speedy, it just is not as legible. But it looks very nice on the wrist. Goes surprisingly well with casual dress.
I don't think you "need" the upgrades, the V4 is stunningly beautiful as well. Can I see the difference? Probably when using a loupe or when blowing up my cellphone picture. But it's nice to know I have the best possible OOTB combo without going full franken

Now ... do i get the black one as well ...???

I actually had my doubts and thought the subdials were too thin in particular but sometimes you question your own judgment.
I am going to have the V4 dial put back in - it came with the watch

Yeah i dont want to impoose anything on you but someone sometimes dont see the differences or details( it is better not too lol) so we are here to tell haha ... as i said every single v4 is waaay superior than this one example (idk which version is this one but definetly one of the nice arfs) but hey,as 2841 said,as long as you happy ,that is all point and matter

Hey guys,

About to pull the trigger on a V4. Just curious on how y'all feel about the bracelet? Is the Noob bracelet super wonky and should one order the ARF if there's a significant difference?

Appreciate it!

This is not first time people asked and we already answered many times... after v3 noob bracelet is almost identical to arf bracelet,only thing i would change is clasp,arf is superior,better edge finish,better crown and better click feel
anyway bracelet is not worth to upgrade for arf,just some baby bath or nice clean with soapy water and you are good to go

Gotcha, tried to look through as many pages as possible but didn't get to that! Appreciate you getting back to me. Much love!

Yeah thats the problem because many people asking same things and not reading before asking ,thats why it has 160 pages and harder to find specific info
anyway v4 noob panda is way to go,amazing watch out of box,only if you want better clasp you can order spare arf bracelet and swap it with noob,sell it for less price on M2M

Do you think 116520 bracelet is comparable to V3-V4 116500LN bracelet? Or is there still a difference here.

We never heard of updated specs on 116520.
