The Ultimate Daytona Buying Guide (Ref. 116520/116500)

[enduser]

Very difficult to obtain as a separate item. Most people buy the complete watch and take dial and clasp from ARF to improve a Noob 4130, then sell what's let to recoup some of the cost, as recommended in this post. It may be worth following M2M as they do occasionally come up.

Can anyone recommend a trust watch maker who can do a customization build on the noob v4 daytona with some arf parts and possibly gen parts as well?

Hi do I need to change a gen Chrono wheel to fit a gen hands on Daytona? And also a gen Chrono hands (small 3 hands)

 

[danielv2000]

Excellent post thank you. one question - how much thicker compared to the gen is the noob?

thanks

It's about 0.6mm thicker, but you can get it down to close to gen by changing the gasket for gen and thus lowering the crystal height. If you can get hold of an old caseback from the a2824 version that trims another 0.1mm-0.2mm or so off but no drama if you can't, by that point you're pretty close

I feel like the arf dial is only needed on the white dial Noob. The black dial noob is really good.

Thanks. That's what I've read as well. Nonetheless, I'd probably go for the original 116520 dial for my comfort.

In Dubai. Why does it matter though?

So you are prepared to send it worldwide, most some people are not.

The idea was that the watchmaker makes all the purchases. I pay in advance and then once the watch is built ship it across to me.

Does anybody know if there has been an update on the 116520 Noob since the V2?

 

[Dano636]

There’s an entire thread on it. Use the search function

Are you for real!? Like I'd ask the question if I hadn't scrolled through pages & pages trying to gather information. FYI I have pal and the only "entire thread" I can find is with regards to the 116500. Instead of trying to be a smart c**t why wouldn't you think of doing the decent thing and lending a helping hand if you knew exactly where to look?
