But the dial doesn’t seem like the noob. The noob dial has thicker sub dials.... maybe a dial swap? Or is this the noob v2.2.?
Noob according to serifed font and clone movement.

So I was fortunate enough to get a Noob Daytona V2.2 before the vacation from my TD. While watching the video and holding the Noob up to my face, I cannot actually see those flaws that are magnified in the video. What are the real tells if you were the hold it side by side with the real one without a loupe?
Is there actually a v2.2 noob? I can only see noob v2 not the V2.2 at the TDs
Thanks but I spoke to a TD , he said there is no official v2.2....... also I checked 4 diferent to websites none had the V2.2 , only V2s... can you please tell me where I can find the V2.2?
Just to clarify the "V2.2 name ...again.
116500 V2.2 Dial is not an official name with the Factories or with the Dealers in China.
It is just a name started and used on this forum to easily and consistently label a new Updated dial.
I read in a FAQ by one of the TDs on this forum that the Factories determine if a watch is V1, V2, V3, etc...
In the case of the Noob Daytonas...
- In April 2018 the V1 Noob 116500 and 116520 with a 4130 Clone Movement started release with a 316L Stainless Steel Case.
- In August 2018 the Noob V2 116500 and 116520 replaced the 316L Case with a 904L SS Case and increased the price by $100.
- In February 2019 Noob updated the dials for the Ceramic Bezel 116500 Daytonas only. The 116520s are still unchanged.
The Noob Factory still calls the current 116500 and 116520 Daytonas V2. Most of the TDs are calling the new 116500s "V2 with an Updated Dial."
Some TDs (PureTime for example) don't seem to realize that the dials have changed, even though their QC pictures are clearly showing Updated Dials.
So if you go to a TD and ask for a V2.2 Noob Daytona, they won't know what you are talking about.
TDs apparently sell many different kinds of watches and don't have, or take the time, to focus on a single watch the way that some forum members might do.
Read the linked threads please...

Just read through the whole thread, very entertaining watching them squabble over the movement. One "expert" proudy proclaiming That he owns 4 rolexs and that the movement must be genuine because "no Chinese clone movemet has the full functionality of a genuine Daytona" lol
They argue as much as we do! Entertaining read. I'm glad that chap was refunded though. I don't think I'd buy a Rolex from anyone but an AD. Not that I'm going to buy a Rolex when the Reps are as good as they are!

(don’t mind - they’re a better crowd than those WUS people)
I think the improved quality and accuracy of replicas, especially Rolex is really really good for Rolex!
Why?
Look at the astronomic increase in prices for genuine parts and gen vintage Rollies
Collectors will pay even more for proven genuine pieces and that means buying from authorized retailers
8 year wait on a Daytona
Absurd but true

Great video though. But he clearly doesn’t follow m2m sales if he thinks I need luck to sell my noob! And how do I feel looking at my noob? Pretty fucking good
