So far I have only seen the white dial version. Any views on the black dial V2 updated? How’s it like compared to gen?

That's the nicest noob I've seen so far.

They still haven't got the ROLEX letting perfect. It looks like the first 116500 dial in 2016.

The bezel insert is improved but still not right. But I have a trained eye that even after 30mg xanax can see this shit.

Your sel is lovely and tight, very gen like.

Of course, modding with ARF parts will still improve it. Their dial is crazy, almost faultless to the 2018 model. The ARF bezel is scary close.

Anyone questioning my credentials, read my past comments. I've provided pictoral evidence that there was 4 dial variation of 116500, one of which had fat dials, so I'm not just an ARF fanboy. I love the noob but they designed their dial from the rolex book not from real life.

Look at dial number 3, this is gen from 2016

O is like noob.

Your watch is good out of the box. Really nice. I have a v1 stock noob. I was shocked how good it is. Yours is miles better.

But if you want to up it a notch, ARF parts still the way to go.

Do you guys think the black dial Daytona is more under the radar? I'm a little afraid of wearing the panda on the streets and I guess people will notice it more often. Still waiting for my BP 904l explorer to arrive, but this noob v2 got me really excited and hopefully they will improve things such as the bezel in future updates. Those SELS of genta2014, really good!

Ive never had any issues and the only comments I get are from fellow watch enthusiasts!

Quick question before I pull the trigger on this noob V2.
Is the gap in the top left SEL meant to be there? Thanks.

Can somebody please confirm if this is a V2 latest dial with the thinner sub dials?

thank you mate. I make the observations with no prejudice or bias, I just want to help the community get a better understanding.

The other day I discovered rolex changed the crystal in the 116500! Tschacko told me something that didn't sound right, so I went away and found the answer. It's true.

For 2019 they use b25-7000-2-c1 for the 116500 crystal.

It's nice to see posts like that appreciating the research!
