Nearer than you think
It's definitely a 7750 base, the hour hand central part is FAT, idk if it's worth it, i'd stick with ARF if noob wasn't available. Hopefully someone picks up Noob's scraps and start making 4130s again.

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!

tw is 14mm thick. it is not that. this Is 13 mm. I think you notice 1 mm difference.

but how can it be 7750 with a thickness of 13 mm and a functioning chrono?

We can only speculate bro but the Chinese rep watchmakers are quite skilled and innovative. We have verification from Nassim that it's true.

You cannot polish a turd and expect it to be anything else but a shiny turd. Sadly :(

Haha good one bro! I have several shiny turds I'm very happy with, these new ones are even skinnier shiny turds. Count me in!

BTW the blue dial in the Noob A7750 below is far better than any of the Noob SA4130 blue dials. None of them have individual sunbursts in the subdials. Which is really the shiniest turd lol.

I also have several Noob SA4130s and their quality is not lost on me but at half the cost sometimes I'll take two of something instead.

Noob and VSF have spoiled the rep watch scene for me with their amazing (all things considered) movement clones:boohoo:

I mean, if the looks alone are what matters to someone, good for them! Me, I am looking at the value I get with my money too and a modded 7750 (which probably is a timebomb with the subdial placement) won't cut it. Then again, maybe I am just too snobby...

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.

The Platinum caught my eye too. I don't like the diamonds on the case. Just the bezel.

looking at that video i can see the caseback a bit thicker but not so bad, could work as metadone while 4130 clone comes back
