Hello

Got the daytona 116509 noob V3 and compared it to my V4 116500 . Got to say the white gold models case is a lot better than steel or replicated better . Below pics for your reference and would like to get opinions for the knowledge of everyone

I know in WG lugs are more curved but good it does not really needs reshaping like the steel ones

Yeah but in WG the SELs should not sit as nice and flush as in SS so this is another flaw right there. In WG they stick out.

I like the WG case a lot.
But I hate the SEL on the WG case.
Put my 116519 dial in a 116500 with a WG bezel,
looks really good. But not sure If I will keep it and replace with
CF ceramic bezel.

personal opinion, i'm not a fan of the ceramic bezel but on this specific model it works so much better than the steel/wg one aesthetically speaking
