Index also are better now! SEL seem very good from pics. If only Noob could go back to the 2011/2012 dial font, both for ROLEX and DAYTONA writiing...

Thanks. I was advised yesterday to post the BBcode, which works. But I will try this method too now.
Nothing works now. I am sure tripdog has blocked something!
Closeup with leather strap. I am happy with this combination, although I had purchased the strap in advance to order a panda. These sels from the leather strap have not even a fraction of mm play. Ideally, for this model, the center portion of sels has to be polished. And the sels are designed so the strap does not lie flat in a case when folded. But then, I realize

Why are you determined to make everything difficult ?
I scrolled down on your image, clicked on 'Embed codes', I went to 'Full Image' (second block down), put the cursor over BBCode then clicked on 'Copy'. It really is very very simple - I'm sure a small child could do it.

Thanks buddy. What I had forgotten from 1st attempt is I had to just put the bbcode link here. I was trying to click on the "attach image" icon on the top and filling the bbcode there. This works now.
Even old dogs will remember a new trick eventually. :woo:

Wonderful Review!
Just purchased a 904L noob 116500LN & was wondering if anyone knew which modders are able to do a shave down dial swap and bezel swap from ARF version.
Thank you!

All of it ? That's a lot - but it'll do him good to read - good for the brain.

Update:
116519
Dial lettering
Most important part of the dial, the bit you look at first 99% of the time
Noob - ROLEX lettering completely wrong, specifically the RO.
LEX is actually ok, so not much for noob to do to elevate this to a 7 really - 3/10
ARF - spacing under oyster perpetual too thick, lettering far more accurate but R still not right - 7/10
Subdials - practically the same, noob groove is a little too pronounced, ARF is not really visible and on the whole subdial not just the outer
Noob - 7/10
ARF - 5.5/10

ARF V1 and V2 dial are more or less identical on 116500. Only difference is the numerals on the Subdials are closer to the inner edge on v1.
I could not find any difference in v1 vs v2 on 116520.

Thanks, and what about bezels? It seems that's there some updated version of dial around: https://forum.replica-watch.info/forum/rolex-tudor-replicas/7387016-qc-arf-daytona-v2-panda-dial
