No idea on what factory this is done by but apparently this new model uses a 7750 but sits at only 13mm thick with all functions working. Now for the biao links.

I’m no Daytona expert so anyone that can shed some light on these ‘pre releases’.

Hmmmm off the bat looks pretty decent for the $! Personally I’d prefer the noob for 1:1 movement but that’s not bad at all.

Here’s my noob V4 for reference

The models that really interested me were the RG YG and platinum models, the colouring of the RG particularly looked quite gen like to me

Good question I don’t know about factory but I’m sure if you send a TD the link they will be able to offer them to you.

These new releases on biao are definitely slimmer than the fully functional A7750s. There is only one video showing movement functions for all of the samples and only the big chrono second hand is shown moving - it is stopped at 20 seconds then reset. So I'm betting these models work like the ARF, with non-functioning 3 and 9 subdials. If those worked, why not show it?

¥2800 Chinese Yuan is $438 so that would coincide with an ARF-like rep. I really like the ice blue dial "platinum" 116506 but unfortunately they used the SS style case on it. Wrong case and wrong bracelet (no SEL protrusion past the lugs) sours the prospect further. The other precious metal cases are the correct shape at least.

These look like they have some potential, especially in a post Noob world. Who uses chronos anyway. Nice to see some more competition in the slimmer Daytona market.

Could these be the new TWF Daytonas we've been hearing about? Good news if so, I could stand a few of these at the much lower price tag than Noob's. I literally never use chronos so no worries there for some of us. "See it works", if asked, haha!

That's amazing. Unless of course you were charged the Noob V4 price for it, ack.

It's definitely not a Noob v4, the dial coronet has slightly angled bottom "corners" and the dial text on yours is better than the Noob. Noob Daytonas have always had poor dial text, in particular the ROLEX text is bad. Look at the Noob O, what an eyesore.

Have you measured the thickness on yours?

Thickness is 13mm
and yes was charged for a noob v4 that’s why am sending back for refund.
From your comment this factory seems to have some potential if this modified valjoux 7750 can be swapped with and genuine one...

IDK about swapping a gen movement in, the gen 7750 has subdials at 6 9 12 so it would need to be a gen 7753 and thickness is going to be an issue there I believe.

But like any rep A7750 if these chronos aren't used much or at all, the timekeeping function can last quite a while. I have several 3 or 4 year old A7750s that are still running strong and never been serviced.
