Daytona Appreciation - Post Your Daytona Pics & Opinion

[enduser]

@Tony Clifton The 116519ln was my very first rep and first introduction to the rep game. As you mentioned it is stunning, ever since ive had it I cant stop looking at it!!


With respect to the flaw you are referng to, I see it and i dont in my dial relative to gen or what I think are gen dials.

Let me try and explain, I have the v3 and the "o" doesnt seem to be as perfectly round, its ever so slightly thicker on the right side bottom.
I've tried to compare images of my dial, with numerous gen, or what i believe are gen, images from google/ insta.

The results ive found to be inconclusive regarding the flaw, meaning relative to most images it seems to be almost no different. I was wondering if anyone has had the same exerperience. Could it be they fixed the printing in the v3??

Oops, just saw dharma s comparison, and seems hes reached a similar conclusion!

Here are some photographs of 116519 dials in close up, all taken under identical lighting conditions

First up, a genuine Rolex dial photographed in free air


Next, an earlier generation Noob dial (probably v2) photographed installed under crystal



And finally, the current Noob v3 dial, again photographed installed under crystal


There's quite a difference in close up but the differences are barely noticeable to the human eye. Rather like the white dials, the Noob v3 dial looks like a step backward compared with the earlier version.

Great pictures, thanks for posting them.

A closer look at just the Fonts and Crown...

The short legs on the "M" in COSMOGRAPH are still present in the v3 dial; generally the typeface is much heavier/ less precise in the v3 over the v2. Nevertheless, the quality of the 116519 Noob dial in real world situations is outstanding.

Low light of noob v4

Nice and visible..beter than v3 ofcourse but need comparison gen vs clean vs v4

 

[Mark1937]

V4 seems to be better than CF. We just have to wait for few months if Noob will change color becoming darker...

Thank you mate.
Lets go for the Noob V3

 

[mrsullivan]

Here are a few pics I did about my 116520 gen bezel VS standard Noob, before it was put on the watch. So on the pics the gen is off the watch obviously.
No comments, apart than Noob is far from the depth and font from gen. ARF seem to have it better.

Can anyone kindly explain the differences in the v2 Daytona by noob and the v3?
