Gen dial, hands, sapphire, both oysterflex, clasp, crown, tube & all the keyless works, automatic module, most the bridges, ratchet wheel, barrel complete, second wheel, chrono seconds wheel, clutch module. CF bezel.

Still on the lookout for reasonably priced unopened balance, though.

Not in terms of clarity, the Noob crystal actually is already quite good. However, the LEC is incorrect on the Noob as it is far too apparent. The more important thing is getting gen gasket which fixes the opacity and height issues of the Noob one, as the crystal sits too high. I didn't actually manage to get the gasket replaced on this one nor the SS daytona, but the meteorite one was OK. This was the reason from my watchmaker:

the gen crystal gaskets are extremely tight when pressing the ceramic bezels on. So much so I have used the rep gaskets as I fear shattering the ceramic bezels. I've had this before on rep cases and gen gaskets.

Thank u for your helpful reply,yes gasket is something that i will 100% do but i thought for the crystal also if it made difference with clarity etc...,but after your reply will keep the noob

Not sure why it would come with a ZF tag...

But I'm intrigued SuperLory is ZF releasing a Daytona?
