Where are these noticeable errors?

dfb7f8ca4a2fdc2fb56cd63e2157868e.jpg


Dial lettering

Most important part of the dial, the bit you look at first 99% of the time

Noob - ROLEX lettering completely wrong 2/10
ARF - spacing under oyster perpetual too thick, lettering far more accurate 7/10

Subdials - practically the same, but noob joins up the lines at the end, only visible under a loupe

Noob - 7/10
ARF - 8/10

See below

Indices -

Noob - too rectangular, too big 6/10
ARF - even worse 5/10

That's all a matter of perspective.. have a look at these pics from intime - no joined lines and and markers look more gen-like, too. I think its a damn good rep!

I've arrived at the same conclusion as Guru. A Rolex, especially a Daytona, should be on a bracelet. I'm looking forward to the white dial on SS

The only problem with this one is that it is a white gold version. So they are not that hard to get hold of. Not very exclusive like the stainless steel.

I agree to the first premise, but I'm more concerned with its weight. Would you know the weight diff of the white gold vs SS considering it's on a strap? If you had nothing to compare it to, would it be easy to tell just by its weight or even sheen?

What I like about Rolex is the bracelet. Why would someone spend 30k on a Daytona with a ugly rubber band? Same is true for the Replica.

I like jubilee bracelets, but I find the other Rolex sport bracelets very bland and boring. If I were going to buy a watch for the bracelet, AP, PP, and VC is where it's at.

Than you for your awesome work, but honestly if you have to zoom in that much, does it really make a difference?

IMHO, great rep. Whoever gets one will be very happy with it.

This is one of the sexiest watches I've ever seen! I don't care for the bracelet and minor flaws, this just jumped to the top of my shopping list :)

Steel is going to be more whiter metal than Rolex's white gold which has a very slight bronze tint. On the wrist, really hard to tell. On a rubber strap with a black bezel, very very hard to detect I would imagine. I wouldn't be that concerned about being called out over the metal color.

Also, while gold is certainly going to be heavier, without the bracelet weight its going to be a difference, but not super profoundly so.

I agree with you, most of the flaws are only really visible under a loupe. The only flaws that really jump out to me are the R O LEX on the dial.

The funny thing is the LEX is actually better than ARF. It's just the R and the O they've got to get right to have a daytona that even I would wear, and I'm the sternest daytona critic!!

The weight difference on versions with the oysterflex is going to be small between the gold and SS. This is a good reason to buy on OF. On bracelet the weight is going to be quite a big difference and you will feel it immediately.

Is it just called V2 because this Model wasn‘t released in 904 Steel?
Compared to the „V1“ 116500 it has the same specs and same flaws.
Or am I totally wrong at this?

I believe so
They also release panda with 904ss and called it v2. For my visual, v1 and v2 very very very the same

i've placed a order for ARF SUB, but it's still out of stock so i asked Ryan if i can change the order and take the Daytona. I was waiting for this model with working chrono for a long time :)
