I would be very surprised. Haven't tested mine though.

I've been trying to sort out my macro lens for more photos, but having technical issues (i.e. I'm useless). And I'm afraid despite my incessant reading of the forum I don't know enough to know what's been updated (if anything). Chrono pushers seem ok to me. On the down-side as you can see in the photo the crown doesn't screw down all the way.

Thanks, I think need to test first when I receive it this week.

No pic?

But if you are comparing to the noob, the noob dial rings are way too thick. ARF has the better dial for sure!

The subdial ring color on the arf 116500 black dial, is it accurate ?
I have seen a gen 116520 black dial but never a 116500. The sub dial ring color on 116520 looks a different from the arf 116500.
The arf black dial ring looks a lot brighter and on the whitter side where as the gen 116520 is silver and goes shinny and dull depending on which angle the light hits it.
Isn't the black dial on 116500 and 116520 suppose to be the same expect for the letter spacing ?

Received my V2 yesterday. I’m pretty blown away by it. It just oozes quality and if someone told me it was genuine I’d believe them.

Anyway, one slight exception to that: It looks like the paint/filler in the bezel numbers is rubbing off. My ‘60’ at 12 o clock is fading. Initially I thought it had dirt on it so licked my finger and rubbed it a bit but this seemed to make it worse and spread white powdery stuff around the area and faded it more. Has anyone else experienced similar? It’s almost as if it hasnt set properly or should have been covered with some layer or spray or something. Anyone know what I’m taking about, or able to suggest a fix?

USD Plating, one of our supporting vendors, looks to have good success with sputter coating the Daytona bezel. Maybe drop him a line.
