Definetly there is difference and you can see crystals sparkling on the edges while on noob gasket it is milky white and no sparkles... i posted pictures few pages before

Got it. Ordered the part from cousins.

Quick question. What's you guys' take on the chronograph? Do you stay away from using it as a result of the potential risks, or have you never had any issues with it?

I've been running my chronograph non-stop when it's active in the rotation, usually for about a week at a time, without issues. When it's not in the rotation, I reset it carefully (ie when the sweep hand and sub dials are pointing close to 12) and keep it in the winder not running. I suppose you could say I don't really "use the chronograph" in that I rarely start and stop it (which I thiink is a higher risk proposition). For me, I just enjoy seeing the sweep hand in action...it adds a lot to the aeshetic of the watch IMHO.

Did Noob make the dial text less bold on the latest v4 iterations?

Yes, you can check my thread. There are 5 different batches of the white dial, latest one is too thin compared to gen.

Interesting. I accepted this one just a week ago:
Seems to be not too bold but not as thin as your v5. I think this is around gen level.

So I believe the latest batches have been fixed. Or it is just random. Mine was just approved a week ago and seems good.

At least they did on this one. They look pretty good, not like the ridiculous fat one when the v4 first came out

Duckber this looks to be a 4th batch, IMO the closest to gen. Many TD still have the 4th batch in stock. 5th COULD be correct, I saw a gen with that slim font, but just one...

They are identical except bezel. Noob use wrong dial on 116520 :-(

Green lighted.

What do the gurus think of the spacing of the text on the subdials between the borders? 2 pics of gen for reference.

I have the gasket and the dial now and the tools. Just need a winding crown to complete, does anyone have a noob crown, maybe you fitted gen and have a spare?
