We have to give a lot of credit to both Noob and ARF.
10 years ago the rep game was totally different. The best reps in those times where the Pams (111, 104, 183, etc).
Rolex where good but light years away from what we got now. The ceramic inserts, pearls, dial printing, sels, bracelets and clasps, are getting to the point we literally need macro shots to compare with gens, and we’re taking about very very small details.
Reps are getting more expensive but also much much better.
The Noob and ARF Daytona are so good that it gets to the point of choosing a bolder or finer dial print and color tones that most likely no one will ever notice.
I wear my reps for my own satisfaction and I prefer the most gen like in order to wear it in confort so, in this case, for me mixing the best of Noob and ARF with a gen crystal is as good as it gets.
Maybe around the corner it could be impossible to tell ref from gen, at this pace, it wouldn’t surprise me it happens in 5 years.

Nuff said mate

Mate, that would be awesome!!
Having that Noob V4 black dial vs gen comparison is exactly what I’d love to see.
Good luck with that.

I understand all this great passion that especially here is towards the Arf dial. I share this passion with you, the Arf dial is simply perfect.

However, I want to have a more pragmatic approach and I ask you and me this paradoxical question:

if one of us, after years of waiting from booking, is lucky enough to receive from the official Rolex boutique a nice Daytona with a "bold style" dial like that to the left of this pic, then what does he do?
Order an "old style" gen dial from the dealer and mount it on his brand new Daytona?

I think not and he will surely keep the watch as it was the one he received. I certainly would not do it and it is for this reason that although I appreciate it very much, I will not look for an Arf dial and will keep my "bold style" one.

Also because, looking at this pic, I find it very very gen like...

Hello Guys,

I just received my NOOB V4 and I took a picture in the same angle as @ettorefranco but I feel like the text on my dial is not as BOLD as other NOOB V4 pictures posted on this thread. I actually really like it but it just feels weird that every batch of NOOB V4 is different.

This is one of the nicest V4 example that has been shared so far!

The SEL's on the noob continue to be horrible. The dial looks amazing.

I think however it depends a lot on the lighting conditions, the quality of the camera and the resolution, In this bad pic mine looks more like yours

No no don’t even try mine is the latest batch of Noob which is much better than yours and looks more GEN. It’s for sale, I will let it go for $3,000 if you want it. ????????????

Hahahaha . .

Jokes aside, yes I agree with you. The lighting and camera make a big difference.

I personally don’t care much about these small details because no one will come with a microscope and check if it’s the same as GEN or not, also Rolex is changing their dials with time.
As long as it looks GEN from one meter distance On the wrist, I am very happy with it.

Your watch is nice! Enjoy it brother.
