Am asking about the quality of this new version vs old, isn't this the purpose of this forum to share new versions and get feedback on the quality?

I think it is...

OK, so ARF dial yes and no; but what about ARF bracelet and CF bezel?
Did they correct the wrong balance bridge and gasket?

IMO no need for arf bracelet as noob improoved it
maybe clasp only
Cf bezel too no need v4 is very genlike

haven't seen anyone talk about the movement in a while, has anyone had any long term issues with it breaking after engaging the chrono's?

I would recommend you don’t touch the chrono functions though it’s a fairly reliable mvmt. The mvmt may not have issues but your chrono sec hand may not reset back to 12 o’ clock exactly. I found this out the hard way... LOL.

This.

Unless your job is official timer at your local sports stadium, race track or egg boiling factory, there’s really no point to over-stress the delicate Asian mechanism. Genuine chrono movements are notoriously prone to breaking as well.

And there’s little in life more dissatisfying than a big chrono seconds hand not quite pointing straight up.

Exactly.

That's what I was thinking too. The majority on here seem to rate the Noob due to the 4130 movement clone, but doesn't it defeat the purpose if the advice is not to actually use the chrono? Then what's the point? Why just just get an ARF which has a better dial?

Franken options? The noob has a better case and is thinner closer to gen. I would never use the chrono but moving on to my next franken project which is going to be a Daytona it will have to be the 4130 for certain parts. If obviously you just want to wear it otb which I did with my 116500 arf that’s fine.

Just run the chrono and stop it exactly at 12 again. problem solved, lol.

That's fair enough, but I'd wager the proportion of people who buy the noob that mod is very small. Due to no access to a watch smith and/or to save money.
