Noob Daytona 116520 with 4130 - "The movement itself is worth the price."

Mine is silent. It's not as silent as my Gen 3135's and 3185, but a lot quieter than any ETA2824/36 I've got.
I was going to order the sapphire crystal case back but it's almost doubled in price it's 189 euro I'm sure they were 99 euro before?
Ouch... That’s a hell of a hike!
I made my own by buying the cheap version from eBay, sanding off the naff Daytona logo and replacing the cheap mineral glass with a sapphire crystal. The whole thing cost me a smidge over £30.

Just keep checking the website. The price continually goes up and then back down over time for some reason?
Hi there,
Where did you find the cheap eBay one mate? I've been searching but not able to find I would put up with a regular glass one for now untill I've recovered from Christmas expenses! Lol
Here’s my budget caseback on my Noob/ARF ‘tona.

Looks great I've ordered it dunno how I never found it! It mentions sapphire in the listing? They definitely should of left the Daytona etch off but never mind it's still a bargain!
Thanks mate
Glad to be a help! The first one I bought had a mineral crystal - maybe they’ve upgraded it... I hadn’t fully read that latest listing. Cool - I keep meaning to order another one for my Frankentona!
It's arrived today that was fast they had UK shipping looks good any tips for fitting it? I have the proper tools to remove Rolex case backs I'm just wondering if you should lube the seal or anything like that?
Thanks Karl
Is a great cheap option if only they can make the display window a bit bigger like the more expensive Thomas Preik has that will be amazing!

Hmm.. Have you got the watch waterproofed by a watch Smith? I usually don't have my reps submerged in water unless that has been done.

No i never plan to ever go in water with it even though they say it's waterproof, I've just tried fitting the aftermarket clear case and it won't fit properly the seal is completely different size to original to so I've refitted original case for now not sure what the problem is?
Hey skyline, I’m just replying here having replied to your PM about this. As I said in the PM, the one I have fits fine -
But I didn’t realise you tried it with a supplied replacement seal. I’m pretty sure I reused the rubber o-ring that was already on the Daytona. I remember now it being a tight fit.
I’m going to unscrew mine and check it again. But as I said via PM - it’s a cheap item, so the supplier’s QC might be a bit iffy!

Hi do you have a measurement of this case back, the expensive one is thicker than stock by 1mm or so. Yes, just slightly thicker but I'm looking for something more affordable to replace ARF think case back lol. I don't mind solid or display, not that I will take it off put on table for ppl to see anyway.
