New Noob Daytona V2 on Intime

I cannot find the ARF Oysterflex strap on the site, do you have a part number I can reference when asking them? I got my QC of this beauty today. Looks amazing and the movement is dead on.

I emailed Ryan and he advised me he could source the ARF strap via custom order, $90 without the buckle.
I know there are several sizes of Oysterflex, many people previously (particularly with the Yachtmaster on Oysterflex) have had issues with the strap being too small so just wanting to get it right before I order.
I found this reference online, not sure if same sizes apply to Noob and ARF straps:
The measurements are approximate and based off the Yacht-Master Oysterflex codes which as far as we know are the same for the new Daytona on Oysterflex: EC-4cm/1.57" , ED-4.5cm/1.77", EE-5.5cm/2.16", EF-6.5cm/2.56", EG-7.75cm/3.05" and EH-9.0cm/3.54". i.e. A typical combination on a Yacht-Master 40 on a 7.5" wrist would be an EE at 6 and an EF at 12 o'clock.

My wrist is 7.25 and I'm on an EE and an EF. You have the micro adjustments and the strap is flexible, those rubber thingies on the inside are made to adapt to different sizes of wrists. I'd go the EE and EF way and set the micro adjustment to the most inside hole.
FLYER9 : But why in the world do you even need to order the ARF strap? The Noob one is good enough, trust me. 90$ is a robbery, especially for something that's virtually identical. It's just the forum hype man, forget it.

Well, it's true. This is by far the best made rep I've ever handled. It doesn't feel like a rep at all.
Does anyone know if noob 116519 has 1 or 2 set of lug holes? I saw that the endlink was secured with spring bars..
Im thinking of converting 116500 to oysterflex. Wonder if i can use this noob endlinks on that case

Really a tough choice between the Rolex 116519 LN and the 116500 LN......especially with these great reps that Noob put out lately.
I am leaning towards the Noob V2 Rolex 116519LN as it seems to be great (small niggles) OTB.
On the Noob v2 116500 LN I am following the discussion on the size of the inner dial rings with interest. I personally don't see much size difference compared to the Gen......
In the end I willl add both to the collection.......but like the look of the 116519LN with the rubber strap a tit bit more. Already have a few Oyster strap type and/or white dial watches in the rotation, so the 116519LN would add something different.

The 116519 looks really sharp. I had the 116500 black and liked it, but the Oysterflex takes it to another level for me. It looks kinda like the 6263 Big red, but with the modern goodies. The one thing that bothered me on the 116500 were the polished mid links. They look OK, but they're bloody bleeders, they get scratches by merely looking at them. The center of the clasp of the 116519 is also polished and I got a couple of micro scratches on it just by wiping it of with a brand new microfiber cloth for glasses:hypnotized:

I've found some interesting.
Inner circle of sub dial ring differences between noob and ARF.
There are no swril on Noob but on ARF.
ARF
Noob
GEN
Expert chime in.
They already did somewhere. You're right, the noob dial has the advantage here and is probably the best daytona dial from the whole noob series.

The dial for the 116519LN is from Noob the best!
Also as ssouthall6 absolute correct mentioned, it is the best dial and most GEN like dial of all Noob Daytonas. (here the ARF is really bad compared to Noob)
The entire Noob watch for the Daytona 116519LN is a great deal = the best and most accurate Daytona. This Daytona is OOTB = top notch.
If you like an watch which is OOTB noce to wear and very GEN like = take the 116519LN from Noob.
You cannot mod the other Noob Daytonas (base watch + parts) for the amount of the 116519LN
When you like the look of the 116519LN it is the way to go

would love to have it but i am afraid of the expensive servicing bills that might come with this movement. Is that the case ?

You're Saying I Can Sell?
I'm curious about this as well. I'd love to hear if anyone has had this movment serviced or repaired and was it expensive versus an a7750.
