yes, but I would think a silver grey strap ( vs the current black) would complete it

Saw this on one of the Chinese sites and thought some on here would like. It's the diw case combined with the meteorite dial. Think they make a nice combination as was a bit 50/50 on the standard meteorite dial with steel case but this got a wow factor to it

That's pretty cool looking but the strap stitching has to go wtf? I've always hated multicolored stitching, this one especially needs all black or even all red would be OK.

They gotta do the Barrichello, it's the absolute best.
I would say they will do the the Montoya first, as after market dials and bezel are readily available vs the Barrichello. The Barrichello has a very off centred dial (not a simple variant to Montoya) and also the bezel is ceramic with a different font vs the normal ones we see with the existing offerings. Looking at this DiW release by Noob where they have the wrong bezel font, I can't imagine Noob will get it right until a few versions......

If a new player has the 4130 that may even be more exciting than some of these upcoming Daytona releases. Would help keep noob honest if they had more competition. Otherwise we’ll have a v11/v12 116500

I doubt it will be this easy. I have been around rep forums for the last 10+ yrs. The 4130 took several years to develop (at least from when I first read about it), the set up cost from what I read it was over $1m. So the barrier of entry is quite high (if what I read was correct). On top of that, what Noob are doing is not legit so that's another risk on top of that.

I'm not saying is impossible, but is slightly remote. Also IMHO noob has simply lost their crown in terms of their status as beside the Daytona, most of their offerings now is 2nd or not 3rd tier, take for example the Subs and Pams which they once were the gold standard are now seems to be a long distant memory.
