Daytona Appreciation - Post Your Daytona Pics & Opinion

[stevier88]

I actually don't have a noob 116519LN. I installed the gen 116519LN into my Noob 116500 V2 that has a bracelet. It will probably be transferred to a V3 watch I bought recently that has better (closer to gen) SEL. I call this franken a "Modern 6263" as it looks like a "Big Red" vintage daytona.

I can do comparison with the ARF dial cause I have an ARF 116519LN V1. The printing is almost identical, the colour of the dial is only different when you put both dials next to each other (the gen one is a tad more brown due to the white gold I believe) and the sunburst effect is much more prominent on the ARF. The gen has very subtle sunburst. The ARF dial is very impressive in how close to the gen it is, and this is just the V1, a V2 is already out on the market.

I'm still waiting on the 116515 Noob (V1/2) watch from DHL so I can compare the gen 116515 and the noob 116515. But I suspect the dial printing will be the same as all other Noobs, which I really dislike.

Oh I also have installed a CF bezel on the 116500/116519LN franken which looks a bit better than Noob's bezel.

Would really like to see a comparison with gen 116519 and noob. Got the 116500 ARF panda but apparently the noob is the most accurate for 116519.

Oh, so if we try it the other way round, an ARF caseback would fit a Noob.

I'm asking because I recently received an M2M Noob V3 and the caseback is very thick compared to my V2. Same thickness as ARF caseback. I'm gonna try and switch ARF, V2 and V3 Noob casebacks to reach the desired thickness.

When my arf arrived I didn’t like how it fit on the wrist because of the caseback (I was used to wear a gen).. so I bought a gen caseback and I sent it to the watchmaker, and he found a slim rotor to install. Now I have found a noob caseback and I have sold the gen caseback.

Here are some photos of the gen 116519LN dial when it was being installed by the watchmaker. A few specks of dust on the crystal there, it wasn't very clean when the photos were taken:

Looks stunning!! The more I see...the better the 116519 dial looks with ceramic bezel compared to the 116500 dials.

Rolex should release it like that. Check out @modern6263gang on instagram there are photos of gen watches with gen dial installed. Three in total.

Correct mate! ARF V2 no mods. Was going to install a CF bezel and crystal but pretty happy with it at the moment.
