New Noob 116509 Daytonas

[mew]

It's quite a bit, ballpark is like 150g to 195g

Isn't a big chunk from the WG bracelet though? I remember hearing a review say that the actual watch case didn't have too much meat on it to really make a big difference.

Sure that would be true. So if you were wearing it on a rubber strap it wouldn't be that noticeable.

Nice, thanks bro. For some reason, Noob's newer 4130 dials are almost universally not as good as their old 7750 dials were. The blue one (#2) above is a good example, there are no sunbursts in the subdials. Here's a pic of the Noob A7750 one. I might just get the 4130 and swap the old dial in.

I'm lucky I have a new 7750 Noob blu dial for spare that I bought many time ago...

Indeed bro, these are stellar.

I think this red stitched everest leather band is made for the matte black "arabic" racing dial one! I'm reaally close to pulling the trigger on both and seeing how that combo fairs.

Looks like a great match! Be sure to post it.

I think the blue and champagne dials (2 & 3 in the pic above) are correct - but on the other dials the 'T's in oysTer perpeTual should align with the R and the X of the ROLEX. At least that's what i find on chrono24 etc - maybe there are variations?

Plus, the SELs protrude the lugs slightly on the gen. That's an instant tell.

Sel are different on the WG version?

Yes, the SEL is longer than the lugs on the 116509, here's a picture:

also the bezel seems so much better in the 7750, i wonder if the inclination (usually the 7750s are steeper) is better in the new 4130

Still amazing that we are getting these at all !

I was really looking for these models because I love the metal bezel .. I come from a gen 116520 and I can’t really love my 116500.. I’m going to sell it soon (noob with arf bezel! Stay tuned) to buy one of these

The red hand is not accurate, more brighter red on gen.

Still disappointing why they backslides with the new bezels. Their old ones were miles better. Look how horrible “4” is. Oh well... maybe we need to wait for the white gold bezel from ARF if they decide to rep these? Will buy just for the movement like I did with my 116520...

They will.

Seems they’re gonna rep the whole Daytona collection.

Looking a video on youku that guy moves the sel and it isn’t solid. He moves creating a gap. I don’t know how to explain well.. it’s like it turn on the springbar..

They aren't worth the money. Wrong sels, mostly wrong dials, bezel issues.. big disappointment from noob IMHO.

It's a shame to hear. It feels like Noob is really dropping the ball. Overpriced GMTs with timebomb movement, dial issues with the newest 116500ln and now overpriced daytonas with lots of issues.

Shitty thing is that I'll probably still buy one and match it with an ARF bracelet / gen dial / gen bezel.
