So basically:
1) ARF Daytona -> Best appearance (dial/bezel/claps/bracelet/etc); Fake hour/min chrono.
2) Noob Daytona -> Best movement; Crappy clasp/bezel/some what improved dial/ bad SEL (bad appearance wise).

Question is...How often you press that chrono button :)

It’s like driving a Porsche: how often do you drive 300 km/h? It’s all about the option that you could do it! ;)

On the contrary, it's like sticking a Porsche engine into a Corolla for the potential of going 300 km/h...

If you wanna nitpick the rolex logo is a bit off center on the noob. I also think the subdials look a bit better on the arf.

I'm afraid a lot of those who nitpick have not had this watch in hand. It is akin to impossible to see those minute differences with your naked eyes.

This said, noob is not perfect, but it's more than acceptable to leave it stock now and forget about the thicker non working chrono ARF

For those who always go the extramile the route is known

Yeah zoomed in pictures can easily turn nothing into something. I don’t think I could accept the noob bezel, though. Also I don’t see much improvement on the updated white dial as opposed to the black one which looks much better now.
However, I hope I’m mistaken and won’t notice the flaws because my fingers are itching to pull the trigger and get one of these, and getting an arf donor watch and have the noob modded with arf parts more than doubles the price.
