ARF Daytona 904 116520 with thinned 7750 movement (4130 deco plates)
OOTB = real nice rep and very comfy.
Changes on this watch: removed the "deco plates" and installed an ETA7750 rotor and movement service to make it more reliable. Thin Daytona caseback installed.
The watch is now water resistant, has got a service and the rotor noise is very quiet and rotor makes it's winding job good. With the thin caseback, this Daytona has now like GEN thickness.

Noob Daytona 116500 with real clone 4130 movement
The watch is very nice - but the Noob dial is completely wrong.
OOTB still a very nice watch.
Changes on this watch: ARF 116500 dial and ARF ceramic bezel. Watch was greased and pressure tested. Movement was checked - but it was everything ok said my watchsmith. No need for service cause movement is very clean.
For me for this budget with this moddings = perfect!

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.

You are completely correct.
Nice explanation and with this you have said = you are period correct and have than a nice very GEN looking and GEN feeling Daytona.
This 116520 without Rehaut engraving and SL dial and hands match very good, also with the "new clasp" like these Daytonas came from factory.
I have seen some "older" 116520 Daytonas in real life with new clasp. Also when you are lloking up to Chrono24, there are from time to time "old Daytonas" with new clasp offered.

Dial and hands?

Yes, gen dial (chromalight) and gen hands (all) and gen bezel, gen crown, gen crystal gasket, reshaped case to match gen profile and lugs, refined caseback, adjusted springbars to fit SEL, and ARF clasp and ARF crystal, base movement service (oiling).

Simply, wow. That must have set you back a pretty penny. You should definitely post more photos. I’m assuming noob movement? I also have a gen dial, hands (all), crystal gasket, service, Gen Bezel, and ARF clasp. But the reshaped case to match Gen profile and lugs is taking to another level.

Wear it it in good health, my friend.

 

[markfisher]

Yes, Noob 4130 base watch.

Seems that Noob 904L "V2" is getting new black dial:

 

[botsyboy]

That dial still looks crap. Why do you think it’s improved?
