Well, doing some quick research, I am pretty sure only QF (4130) and EWF (7750) do the 116509 meteorite. You are better off buying a Clean (4130) of any color and purchasing a met dial separately. Then have the watch plated in WG. Met dials go from $250-$1K depending on quality. I personally don't think the cheaper ones are that good. But it really comes down to you, your preferences, and what you are willing to live with.

Aftermarket meteorite all the way. There are some halfway decent looking custom ones out there.

Noob was great for their time, but I really don't think they compete today. Not to mention, they are out of production and have to be picked up on M2M sales only. I do think Noob is better than QF and EWF, for sure. I really think that Clean and BTF took what Noob did and took it to another level. I think the best OOTB Daytona today is Clean v3. But, I would take a BTF all day, every day, over Clean if I were going to mod the dial on it. The case shape, feel, and crystal is better on BTF in my opinion. I have many frankened BTFs with gen dials. Again, it depends on what you can live with.

I’m actually building one right now. Ask your modder for the “Shenzen factory” dial and hand set (which has the correct non-lumed hands).

If you aren't going to do any mods on it, then yes, Clean v3 Black dial is fantastic. I took the latest BTF and put a clean v3 black dial in it to make it even better.

I praise the day CF drops some meteorite Daytonas.
