Just before I place an order.. is the NOOB V4 Daytona with 'black' dial the best version with the 'black' dial to get? I'm looking for buy a black dial version and wish to get the best watch possible..

Thanks

It appears to be, yes. The Black dial isn't as popular as the White dial so there aren't as many photos comparing various iterations but v4, from my perspective, is the best so far.

Why arf bezel? Cf and v4 are best with real platina coating

I didn´t built this watch myself. For me the bezel looks superb. But I do have the v4 bezel. When I am home I could compare them for you, but that will take weeks haha

I believe many of noob daytona mods or frankens used arf bezel when v1-2 noob bezel not good and CF had not released.

It’s a great build.
What mod was needed in the case?

I’m going for the same exact mods but haven’t decided if the hands are worth it and I’m not aware of a case re shape needed.

I think like you bro, I like the bold one too, but I believe no 116500 has ever had a dial like the one on the right. The Daytona lettering has the 116520 font and the 5 lines are too thin, even for a 2016 Daytona 116500. That dial looks a lot like the Noob 116500 Asia 7750

I also do but the closest is the Noob and the shine of the subdials is off, so the closest to gen option now is the white ARF.

Thanks for your insight.

Really on the fence here.. not sure whether white or black, my heart says black with the ceramic bezel but I know i'd also like white and maybe even with a with stainless bezel too.

I'm fussy: the things that are important to me above all else is the shape of the case and crown guards and the quality of the bracelet and clasp and overall feel of the watch.. and a good movement that is not going to offer some degree of reliability. What do you enthusiasts recommend I get to satisfy my needs? black, white, ceramic, stainless, arf noob?

Thanks for your help! Ordering this evening before I change my mind!

I have the V4 with thin 5 lines but with high Daytona, my TD said he can source a dial with low Daytona, do you think it could worth the swap?

I read in here that people are looking for ARF dials. I know from Domi that he has some and he could also do the modding.
