so this happened to my ARF, now thinking of replacing it, am I right in saying the noob v2.2 and the ARF bezel and dial is the best way to go? Wondering if that’s worth doing or simply replacing the crystal

I gotta know.... How the hell did you do that?

Thanks, tried Puretime and their site says they have a V2 avilable in 904L for $US688, so I'm guessing this is the V2.2. seeing it's in 904L and so pricey?

I contacted pure time, they're out as well, this was their response:
Hi, this is back ordered. You will need to pre order and join the waiting list for a new batch

Noob V2.2 with Gen 78590 Bracelet and Gen Springbars. Fit perfectly!!!
I have Noob and ARF both and these latest Noob Daytona watch heads are outstanding in overall quality and feel. cheers!!!
Can't comment on the Noob bracelet though as never fitted them either on Gen or Noob or ARF.

A new Noob would be about $US688 plus the cost of shaving the ARF dial to fit the Noob case, and the cost for a watch maker to do the work.

If you were fine with the ARF movement and chronograph not fully functioning, then just have the broken crystal replaced.

Yeah I was happy with the ARF but when I originally bought it the Noob was on the v1 and the subdials were fat and terrible, so now I’m thinking the best overall watch would be the closest to gen

Ok so is the best option still a noob v2.2 with a ARF dial? Or is the noob V2.2 dial as good as the arf? Thoughts?

Also so just wondering does a gen dial fit into a noob?
