New Noob daytona 904L V2

[PsychoTee16]

Puretime sells just the dial. So far no where that I have checked sells the bezel. So it's either be happy with a dial swap or buy a doner arf watch swap the dial and bezel and try to resell the arf doner watch with a noob dial and bezel

Thanks man! Yah I would like both but don’t want to drop another $500 for the ARF watch.
Min pushing Lucy to see if she can source one. Everywhere else I have tried has been unsuccessful.

Yeah I asked Ryan about the dial and bezel... his reply was the bezel is unavailable. So ..... kinda not clear on the dial so I reasked when I asked if this is a new Noobv2 since the price is 10 bucks more...

Trying to pair it with my next rep order and save on shipping.

The fat subdials was the only thing keeping me from buying this, going to be getting this asap.

Is this really a "v2" or is it just a pre-order of the Noob Daytonas because they're currently out of stock?

I emailed a TD so hopefully in a few hours we will know. I think it is 10 bucks more than the other one though...

Perfect rep
The black dial is perfect
But i cant see the update on the white dial

 

[japer]

The black on black (16500) is in my opinion the only noob that has really gotten a major upgrade. It has way better subdials now. The 16520 hasn't been updated at all, but probably will be soon. However, for me the Noob 16500 BOB v2 is very appealing!

Now we can say that the 116500 is NWBIG
End of the game !

You're right. That black dial is mint.

Only the black dial , the white one seems too fat again

 

[Hidenjoy]

Black dial is already out of stock

 

[tangle]

vs gen

I keep seeing people say the sub dials are still too fat on the white dial. These look almost exactly the same to me.

 

[shaKi47]

For me too Its out of stock. I wait since 3 Days and still no Watch. I think it needs a little bit.

Is a picture of a user in another thread:


He photoshop both in same size. The Subdials looks better here.

II don't know how many times I have to say this til people listen to me.

There are four gen dial variations for the 116500. Only two are really visible for people who don't eat modafinil all day and procrastinate when they have work and assignments to do

V1 - 2016 - Skinny O in ROLEX, skinny subdials. Serif in R

V2 - 2017 - Fat O in ROLEX, skinny subdials, no serif in R

V3 - 2018 - Fat O in ROLEX, fatter subdials, Serif in R

V4 - 2019 - Fat O in ROLEX, skinnier subdials than 2018 but fatter than 2017, no serif in R

Both ARF and Noob based their design on the 2018 version, so the slightly fatter subdials is a NON-ISSUE on the v2.

Where noob fucked up is they based their dial on the ROLEX catalogue NOT the actual watch itself. Therefore you see a disproportionate spacing between the O and R & L in ROLEX

Basically, they copied a book.

None of the dials are perfect. ARF put the numerals too high in the subdial but only marginally. It is a VERY good copy of 2018 116500LN, perfectly passable
When I first saw noob I thought OMG what the hell have they done. But actually it's not the worst attempt given they probably copied 2016 and the 2017/2018 catalogue.

Noob O is not as such wrong, it just looks weird and is fantasy because it takes elements of different variations.

I stand by the conclusion that the dial, for best effect, should be ARF.

Also, I won't repeat for white, but bear in mind 2018 was slightly less bright white and more creamy. Marginally. So no need for waxing treatments etc because ARF is copying the 2018 dial.

For 116500 bezel, just get hold of the ARF however you can. The noob is wrong. I held both and the gen in my hand. The ARF is a shade too glossy but the noob is very cheap looking, the engravings are too shallow, and the S in units is totally wrong.

NOW GIVE ME SOME REP POINTS MOFOS

I cant tell the difference and im looking at both side to side. No idea what people see that is so off that they deem it unacceptable. I'll be perfectly happy with it OOB so i'll be ordering one.

 

[Keylog74]

i just placed order one with Toro, black white whatever he finds first

 

[zach_1622]

This is huge, cant wait to see the first ones here!

 

[Dantona1984]

Thanks for the bezel info, only gen dial and hands will do for this baby :wink:

If ARF is too shiny then gen 16520 SS bezel will be going on.
