This is the only way to go, how hard was fitting the ARF dial?

Depends on who is doing it

The dial has to be shaved from 29.6mm to 28.6mm without gouging or scratching it up or having a marker fly off, the dial feet have to be cut off and new ones glued on or dial dots used. All the hands have to come off and be re-pressed without scratching them up. Easy for some, impossible for most.

Well, kj2020 answered and I agreed to all of it. I'm sure one can find a modder near your area to have this done be it Asia EU Conus.

Lucky me my regular modder do offer this service and service thethe movement for me. He commented this movement can run for 50yrs if maintain well just like the gen lol. Material used much better than anything else we have now

One thing . Black Noob dial is a shame but white Noob dial is enough good: It is inaccurate whit slightly bigger subdials but Arf has slightly thinner subdials versus gen. So I would swap the black dial of course but I would stick whit my white noob dial

If anyone buys a Noob SA4130 116520 and plans to franken it with a gen superluminova (I.e. green lume) dial and hands, I recommend additionally sanding off the rehaut engraving to match a F series or earlier 116520. This is because the rehaut engraving font on the Noob SA4130 116520 was never correct for a 116520: the 116520 used a double-matrix font, opposed to the single line font.

Although the earlier daytona (including the F series) used a different clasp (i.e. 78490) to a stock Noob SA4130 116520, gen owners do mix and match bracelets in the gen world so it still falls within my scope of acceptable gen parameters.

pompompurin rehaut was never correct for older series with SL (late F) or for all including CL?

The gen 116520 with rehaut engraving (superluminova or chromalight) only used double-matrix rehaut engraving. I tried finding a 2015/2016 (the last production and AD sales year?) 116520 on Google image with single line rehaut engraving but without success.

The noob sa4130 116520 all comes with single line rehaut engraving which is wrong for superluminova or chromalight era, unless someone can find a late gen 116520 with single line rehaut engraving (which I haven't been able to, so far)

Thanks for clearing that up. SL it the way to go then.

But of course , if you end up using gen chromalight dial and hands for franken-ing, then I don't recommend sanding off the rehaut engraving because that would look weird (unless, someone could find out if RSC serviced daytona uses chromalight service dial on older Daytona).
