Noob V4 Daytona's

[gpvecchi]

Guys, I got my V4. Mine has shorter hands, like gen. The minute hands touches the minute markers, it doesn't cover them.
I'm not sure if I have the high Daytona text: I checked it with trasversal light source, it sits exactly where the subdial radius starts, you can see a hair like thin line.
Somebody with low Daytona, may please check where it starts?

Despite having bought the Noob V4 panda that I am quite happy with, I have great nostalgia for my gen 116520 black dial that was stolen from me. I was thinking about buying the Noob with the 4130 movement as well. I haven't read any great comments about it, what do you think, is it a worthy purchase? Thanks for your advice.

I don’t think they have released the 116520 v4 yet. Someone correct me please if I’m wrong.

I just placed an order for the Noob V4 the other day and the QC pictures just arrived. I'm so dissapointed. Bezel is a dead giveaway. It's not even a Noob. Just a poor replica.

Seller is insisting they look the same as the bullshots he first sent me.

Below are pictures of the actual watch he was going to send me:

Wow.... yeah, no way to sugarcoat it... that is bad! Like garbage can bad.

dust yourself off, chalk it up as experience, and order a proper watch trough one of the TD’s

As much as I'd want to order from a TD, I cannot. I've done it before and customs intercepted the parcel. I'm ordering this from China via Shopee, which is very similar to Amazon. There is almost no chance that customs will be able to intercept it because theh have their own logistics network with their own, special process.

I also get protection since Shopee holds the money in escrow. Luckily, I didn't have to go through that as the seller as agreed to just let me cancel the order instead of filing a dispute.

Hello guys, thanks for all the input. I've read through all 89 pages of this this before making the decision to buy a 116519. I didnt want to get the panda v4 because of the hassle to franken ARF dial and CF bezel. I've just received the pics from Li (Jtime) and i've drawn the lines to check for alignment. Would appreciate any input from old hands here on whether the dials are ok, and the overall feel of the bezel. i'm undecided if I should change to CF bezel (Li says he is able to do it). THank you in advance.

Is not allowed posting QC just for comments if anything wrong

You must have a specific question

I just get my qc pics and “Daytona” don’t look thick

Where in the world are you based? Interceptions/seizing does happen, but it’s rare, you may just have been unlucky. As long as you can prove it was intercepted a TD will send another at their expense.

After 1 day I already have a scratch on the bracelet, where the clasp touches the link when it's open. Nothing to do to avoid it?

Refinish the clasp like gen. Its because the shape is wrong.

Is it easy job bro?

Very easy. You got the same problem on the sub clasp as well. The gen and rep has slightly different dimension, the Gen does not touch the bracelet when open like the rep does, so you just have to brush the edge of the middle section down a bit. 10 min job. Take the locking clash off, sand it down, pop it back on

 

[gpvecchi]

Can you please circle the part to be brushed on a photo? Thanks!
I'm talking of the part of the clasp with the coronet...
