I've had to reject 2 QC already - both times the main chrono hand wasnt pointing straight at 12, it was ever so slightly to the right (doesnt line up with the main crown symbol).
Waiting on the 3rd watch now....

3rd Watch arrived for QC, it was exactly the same watch that had been rejected. It was only rejected due to main chrono hand not pointing straight at 12 - ive accepted it as I cant be arsed to keep rejecting and it looks ike it could be straight this time. Should receive this week...

In almost all the pictures I've seen of a Noob Daytona, almost all of them seem to be like that slightly to the right.

Is it V3 version? Watch is with V3 bezel?

108 grams? Damn I thought the weight difference was going to be much closer than this. Your definitely going to feel the difference still.

Aesthetically it does look good though. These are becoming a bit pricey though
White gold is heavier than steel.

Hey , can show another front pic again? Take it properly, from this pic I get the impression it is using the wrong case.

I think they used the wrong case . For white gold or full gold , if u observe carefully, the lug white should be of the same thickness. And the bezel at 2, 4, 8 and 10 pm should sit within the case. I think they used the 116500 stainless steel case .

Note, the main chrono hand is slightly to the right by 1 notch. I has to start the chrono, let it go around the entire face and then stop it directly at 12 again (not press reset) then lock down the pushers. Now it points directly to 12.

I've got to be honest, most of the features are small enough that you can't notice anything wrong by eye.

But the Daytona you show in the picture is a 116509. They do not have fixed endlinks like the 116519 with the Oysterflex have. For me Legions 116519 has the right case. However for a final judgement we would have to see a side shot of the case profile.

In 116519 the color is the same as steel 116500 or is it similar to white gold?

It has to be the right case otherwise it wouldn't have those end links.

When you take it apart, there's notches where the end links are glued in. If they ran out of those cases, they couldn't start using 116500 cases instead...they'd have to use smarty George end links or something like that, and they won't do that

Yes this is the correct case for a 116519.

Regarding your question of White Gold vs. Stainless Steele: Noob uses the same 904 l steele material for 116500 and 116509 cases. Some people say that they can see the difference and that WG has a different "smoother" shine. For me it is very subtle and I would not be able to tell the difference without a direct comparison watch side by side.

I don't quite understand what you two are talking about. But here are side on photos



Hey dude, your reposted photos are fine . Probably the angle of the first few photos which gave me the wrong impression .
