I've also heard Noob is the best dial but not sure which version. Looking to build a BTF/Clean base with Noob dial and get it white gold plated. Also not sure how easy it is to source a Noob dial from TDs

Lol he's not gonna answer him.You won't know unless you ask a TD
"Hi. Is mao tse tung still keeping ya in lock down? No? Can I get s nooby dial please?"
How are you liking it?Typical autumn ... everything Grey in Grey... my new CF 116519LN arrived a few days ago ... I love it!
Crystal looks almost as good as BTF on latest Clean or am I nuts?Typical autumn ... everything Grey in Grey
I don't have any BTF Daytona, so I don't know how the crystal compares to the latest releases from CF ... but I really don't have anything to complain about my CF so far.
I was so sad when (the real) NF was gone, cause I already liked the grey Daytona very much and was too late when I finally wanted to pull the trigger for it ... but actually the dial of this CF is even better than the one from NF ... so the waiting was worth it
Side note: A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to try on an authentic Panda at a big jeweler / official ROLEX dealer here in Berlin ... with my CF Daytona in my pocket I said, I'm interested in a Daytona with Oysterflex ... and pretended to be a "newbie" ... hehe
aaaand of course they didn't have our beloved 116519LN ... looong waiting list ...
But they had a Panda in their safe, that I could take a closer look and see how it feels on my wrist ... aaaand yeah, sure, nice watch ... but the difference to a CF ... my god, it's so small ... those reps are so damn good, wow ... lucky for us

That’s not a V4 dial. Looks like an early V3 with skinny subdials.
Dealer told me its the legendary Noob v4

Why do you want to buy a noob? A clean or BTF will be betterok . He said this is better ..
Did you notice discrepancies in the sub dials, chrono hands, and dial? I could not tell a difference, Can you point out the differences so I can understand what to look for better?
No, it's lighter because the original is made out of gold, which is heavier than steel.
Does anyone know how to see the pictures in the original post? None are showing up for me.
I just got one and am quite blown away by the overall quality. the clasp is especially good
added some silicone lubricant to the clasp and pushers as they were squeaking
