New Noob Daytona V2 on Intime

[Pater_Pen]

In the thread "New Noob daytona 904L V2" this video of the daytona 116519 came up. I don´t speak chinese but it is supposed to state that the clasp and band are not interchangable with other bands.

https://youtu.be/vRrDn_qwA3A?t=335

Is this true, can anyone confirm so far that the rubber band can not replaced with a different one?

For me, the 116519 is the best looking one but i really dislike the rubber bands and would then go for the 116500 white dial V2.

Thanks alot

Bracelet is not an option, but you can put it on leather. I think it would look great on a racing strap.

I am thinking about pulling the trigger and ordering the latest 116500 white dial, Noob V2. Does this still suffer from the far sub dials?

yes it does

I was the one who posted on the other thread.
While you can't replace with another bracelet, the rubber band can be replaced with another leather strap.

I go to China frequently and purchase 3-4 quality Rolex reps every time I go. Have over 30 in my collection and have 6 of the Daytona. My favs are the V2 Noob. The earlier white dialed Noob that came out a few months ago was printed slightly off center. They fixed this in V2. Sometimes the lettering in the bezel is too dim. That's hit or miss.....but since I can hand select what I buy - I only choose the ones with the best bezel. All other aspects of the watch are superb. Mine typically measure 12.4-12.5mm - bone stock - Iam sure if I peeled the plastic sticker off the case back - it would shave 0.1-0.2mm off that. Different gasket could bring it closer to 12.0mm. But honestly it is superb as is. The bracelets are very nice - but you can sometimes tell when reflecting the polished center link at just the right angle that it doesn't have a perfect mirror finish - but this is not an obvious tell. The clasp is very close to gen. It has a nice snick when closing - and the extension is same way.

The movement is a work of art. Ive seen a lot of reps - although I am not a watchmaker - I regulate all my good watches. I have all my 4130 Daytonas dialed into within +3 seconds day accuracy. (this by the way is not particularly easy - the timegrapher only gets you so close - the rest you have to put it on and wear for a day and readjust) lots of trial and error - But most importantly - they stay regulated - thats the hallmark of a good movement. They hold consistently excellent time. The chrono functions flawlessly. Resets always go straight up to the 12. They are durable - a friend who was playing with it accidentally reset the chrono while it was still moving and it worked just fine. Ive beat the thing up a bit riding a bicycle over rough road for an hour wearing my 4130 Noob and it didn't lose or gain any time. Now I realize its only been 4-5 months - but I can tell you for sure - this is no SH3135. This is the real deal.

Visually the movement is good. By good I mean - that side by side comparison to gen would show all the gears and parts in their appropriate place. All the Rolex markings and lettering are there and appear correct - but there is definitely not the same degree of polish and finish as a gen. Still - I believe you could take a Noob 4130 to a non Rolex jeweler let him open up the back and probably fool him half the time. Pawn shop owners are definitely going to be susceptible to getting schuckered into thinking they have a gen - until they get wise to the "Noob 4130 threat" and go red alert and get a Rolex familiar person to examine it closely anytime one comes in.

People get wrapped around the axel over the smallest inconsistencies. A good examination of the changes in gen dials over just the past 10 years gives you an idea that what is out there may or not be representative of the genuine article. Here is an example of what Iam talking about:

If anyone has specific questions I would be happy chime in. I still can't figure out why I can't load any pics on here...

I had my first Noob for preliminary service at my watchsmith/modder. He said it was so clean and well oiled = no need for service!
So I think, this movement is very reliable when you get is checked and it is OK.
To be honest, lots of people have now these Noob Daytonas and they are running. Some are writing for some problems with the stopping hand (re-alignment)
I send also my other Noob Daytona to my watchsmith (but for modding) and let him check the movement.

The 116519LN are looking stunning!! They must have fixed the bezel. The latest batches of the ceramic bezels are lookin great.
If you want the best OOTB Noob Daytona = it is the way to go for the 116519LN (and nice effect, at all much cheaper than modding a 116520 or 116500 to look accurate)

I read somewhere this watch does not have the easy link like the gen has, is this true. Not easy to see on the TD's sites

Yes - they have the easy link. Works smooth also.

 

[knol]

Yes - they have the easy link. Works smooth also.

could you show a picture maybe of the 116519LN with easylink? I know the 116500 and other steel models have it but not sure about the gold models

I've seen youku videos of this 116519. Thr thickness are 12.5mm.
Is it still need to lower crystal?

 

[Nivka]

I’m thinking of 116500 + 116519 dial + aftermarket end links + rubber b or Everest. Then I have the option of bracelet or rubber. Just need to get saving lol

 

[peterpl]

ok you guys have tipped me over the edge. I've just paid for a Noob 116519LN

 

[Therion666]

Yes - they have the easy link. Works smooth also.

Mine doesn't have the Easylink. None of them do actually. Did yours come with the Easylink installed? Then I guess we have a V2.1..

Of course. Otherwise you'll get called out in a minute. Gotta watch out for those Rolex geek bastards walking around with their calipers in their hands..

 

[d3xophen]

My friend, I have a friend who own 3 or 4 GEN daytona and I always meet with him. Thats why I concern.
My ARF keep in the box because of its thickness.
I have other reps which never modded except changing custom croc strap.

But this rolex brand, I need to concern. I still away from rolex model with cyclops for now.
This daytona is safe.

Every person have their own personal reference in this rep hobby.
For example, i don't care easy link flaw , caseback flaw because they are under your wrist. No one came to me and ask me please show the watch.
But color flaw, thickness flaw I don't accept. coz of my skinny wrist too thick watch dosen't suit. It sit really high on my wrist.

Coz of your photos, I am interested in buying this one but need to mod if this is too obvious.

 

[Therion666]

0.5mm is not obvious at all. I don't think you have to worry. I'm very experienced in the rep game and this is by far the best and most accurate rep I've ever had ( and I only buy the best ones ).
I mean just look at it

 

[knol]

I have been looking at many TD sites and finally i found a clear picture on the Puretime site. Seems the Noob 116519 does not come with the easylink but gen has it . This is unacceptable on a 700$ watch i think. Hope they fix it quick .

NOOB

I received a Noob 116519 replica recently, and, I must say, it is very impressive. Whereas for me the ARF SD43 took the crown for best replica of 2018, this Noob 116519 gets my vote as the best replica of the year for 2019--so far. Having handled a genuine 116519, I will say, yes, the white gold on the gen is much more impressive than steel, and makes it a very desirable model, by contrast to the SS Daytonas, which are getting too much hype on the gen forums. Noob will never be able to replicate WG with SS... And, in discussion of the Noob, we can quibble about the dial, the bezel, the oysterflex, the case diameter, etc. But, still, the level of quality achieved here is very impressive, and the watch itself wears very nicely, even if the design is a little boring.
