It's all I can see now, after you've mentioned it..damn this place... ;)

There are some proper daytona nerds on here unfortunately for noob :D the funny thing is the LEX is arguably better than ARF! It's just the RO is completely incorrect, it can't even be explained away by dial batch variation, it just screams fake.

There are some good aftermarket dials for 116519 and gen dials are much easier to pick up than 116500, but if you like 116500, ARF dial is close enough in my opinion, maybe not by a loupe but certainly on the wrist, it's just annoying it needs 1mm shaved from the diameter to fit

Ignorance is bliss sometimes and I wish I stayed in the dark on this matter :D The spacing is really awful on Noob and it's not perfect on ARF either (or maybe I'm seeing too much now). It reminds me of that E X PLORER business on the JF Explorer 1. They managed to sort it out, so I hope this one will get an update in the near future too. Modding is out if the question for me, I have no one to do it and I also want a 700$ rep to be perfect in regard on idiotic flaws (which this one definitely is). If they can clone the 4130, I'm pretty sure they can use correct spacing between letters..

Did you at least try to read this thread?

Please tell me what I missed, I’ve been following this thread since day 1, and I don’t recall anyone specifically saying the bracelet will fit. I know there are two sets of lug holes and you can take off the endlink.

This is a chewed up topic. Nobody seems to know. Asking the same thing over and over again won't bring anything. You need to wait until someone actually receives one and tries it out. Simples.

Agreed, I've heard mixed messages from those that have been kind enough to reply. I guess we have to wait for someone to have it in hand and then chime in!

I could live with that. One must realize that these watches are tiny and they look waaay different on an arm's length than on a 55" screen :)

Exactly :) This release is too fresh to have all the answers. Patience is the name of the game here ;)

LEX is perfect it's just the RO. R is the wrong font, the O is just too skinny.

If you can live with it then great because apart from that they really nailed this watch

It looks like the Subdials have been sorted on the new batch of 116500, but they still have the badly spaced ROLEX on the dial

why did you choose the black dial?the sub dials are really bad.
I ordered this because I had read here on the forum that the subdials had improved in 116500 LN ... but they suck !!! Look next to the gen. But how do you make such a bad dial ???
