Gen Daytona vs Noob V1-V2 and V2.2 Daytona vs ARF V2 Daytona

and i may add again that is not visible on the wrist !

The 116500 Silver Sub-dials are too shinny and still just a touch too thick.

The 116520 Sub-dials were much too thick and never updated with a "V2.2" version.

I thought ARF was the shiniest

As stated on page 1 of this thread and discussed on page 4, Noob is still too shinny, ARF is correct.

Are there any rumors about ARF v3 Daytona?

Nope, not yet.

I had the same dilema with white. I only went for black as review said it gives the watch a larger appearance as usually have bigger watch plus the dial is going to be changed for a custom one that's I've not seen done on this forum yet ???? so that helped made the decision a bit easier

I'm very interested in you saying the black dial one "looks bigger" on the wrist. I was just about to pull the trigger on a white dial but does anyone else agree that the black dial "looks" bigger (I know it really isn't bigger)

 

[freediver]

I will disagree, white looks bigger to me

I have only the white though , so maybe someone who has both can chime in

this was the opinion i read on the rolex forums when googling "daytona white or black dial" as i was stuck between them but as mentioned my plan was to change the dial to a platinum one so i didnt research heavily lol just a quick google

 

[Foxxfire]

The platinum dial in contrast with the black ceramic bezel looks great!

This is awesome, I got the ARF now I want the Noob!

Need help on the below QC,

- is the 6oclock (120) bezel alignment a little crooked to you? or just the camera angles not doing it justice.

It’s both. But mine was the same, slightly off on top. I’ve seen gens with the same issue, so no worries

2841 Thanks buddy!

 

[Foxxfire]

Alignment is OK.

Just got my Noob daytona and there is a crazy stiff link right next to the clasp where the Rolex crown is. Literally will not budge does this screw even come out? It is different from the other screws in terms of there is no other side to it. All the other links you have the hole showing on the other side. This one is like drilled in or something

Thanks

I tried and RWI keeps giving an error message to upload the pic. I've uploaded a pic before so not sure why it wont let me now. I have the watch PERFECTLY adjusted using a combination of link removal and 1 micro strap adjustment. This stiff link is annoying as hell tho!

I just got mine and had a similar issue. Screws were in so tight. I just put some muscle in and they came out. Be careful as not to scratch, but yes, they are in there tight!

 

[Dtime98]

Well other than this link issue the watch itself is beautiful and exceeded expectations in terms of look and feel. Glad I made the purchase. Very quiet operation no random noises. Wound up smooth.

Day 2 of ownership just pulled it out of my watch winder first time today. Cleaned it all up from the INSANE amount of tape residue from noob factory. They really packed it well to prevent any scratches or damage, bravo. Too well in fact as it took a long time to get every last piece off be prepared lol. It keeps time like a champ, exactly on point. Damn I love this thing.
