any word on when the 904 noob version is coming ? once it does am in
If you could tell me whether this is 904L or 316L, then you may have a point.

Otherwise...

It must be 904 because it is Gen, but the steel looks the same . Put a 316l clasp on a 904l bracelet and you won't see the join.

Which is more or less the point I'm trying to make. There's no way anyone can tell by the grade of steel used.

And to be fair, the Noob Daytona is some watch. Even at $600 it offers so much watch for so little money...closeness to gen notwithstanding.

Yes 904l is a pointless waste of money. The only part it plays in Rolex watches is the marketing part.

So I have had the watch 3 weeks, during which it has been on my wrist, except for a 3 day period during which it didn't stop. It has lost 3 secs in that time. The rotor is silent the pushers work like silk. The chrono doesnt jump. It looks Gen.

Up until now there has never been a serious Daytona Rep. Now we have one but only one.

Noob nailed it. They truly did. 100% NWBIG at the very least.

If this isn't a super rep, nothing is Omagad

Love it, looks FUCKING awesome.

Need infos on that. What exact version is it? This one? http://trustytimestore.com/index.php...ducts_id=18422

What can you tell about the bracelet? One guy previously complaining?

IMO the bracelet is excellent. I have always prefered Noob clasps to JF/ARF . Other people may disagree. But the bracelet and clasp is certainly of excellent quality by my judgement.
And yes that link is the watch.

How similar is this to a gen?

Will the arf bracelet fit the noob watch? I’m sure this has been asked a million times, sorry in advance if it’s a stupid question.

timnic54 I'm so jealous on your watch, it looks great! I will certainly order one when my ARF Sub arrived (+ I'm happy with this overall topic of Replicas) and the availability allows that again. I still hope that ARF will also do a 1:1 superclone movement, not based upon the A7750 (where the small complications at 3 & 9 don't work).

I recently saw a video on Youtube where they adjust/tune the movement before shipping the watch:

I don't want to discuss/recommend to order from that person (I don't know that person anyway - appears to be some messenger), but sometimes look at the videos to get some moving footage on the watch.

dear all, I am in love with this watch and I am trying to order one but I am having some different replies from TD on the availabilty of the 116500 Is there anyne on the edge of ordering it? I've been told by my usual dealer it is out of stock and he didn't konw if and when it will be restocked, while another TD told me it is in stock. since each dealer should source directly from noob I find this strange and I would like to avoid to be propsed a V1 refused for poor QC with no possiblity of getting a replacement after QC refusal.
Do someone have a better picture of the availability of 116500 Noob V2?

AFAIK it is still being produced, demand is high and people are waiting. I waiting nearly 4 months from payment to receiving my watch. Maybe some TDs have so many people on the waiting list, emailing them every few days to ask " are we nearly there" . Maybe they don't want more. This might explain why you are getting conflicting information.

They are not making any V1 so if you wait the wait, you will get a V2 (or 3) If someone has a rejected V1 lying around it will have gone already. Demand is very high. TDs have no problem selling this watch Demand far outstrips supply and demand is increasing.
