Do all TDs have this in stock or are you guys all waiting for stock? Ive contacted 3 TDs and they said no stock

Wait times are about 3 weeks depending on which model you want. There's another whole thread on wait times for this rep, lol.

Thanks buddy!
Would you mind describing in which way the bracelet doesn't fit?
Cheers

There are a huge gap space between the case and SEL unfortunally... that's the problem. Just take care to check well the QC of Noob and you can get good SEL buddy.

Actually i've also reworked my BP dial (shaved on the edge) from 29,6 to 28,5. So it will fit the Noob movement and case now theorically.

This is another huge improvement beacuse the gen dial it's really expansive, but the BP cost just 60 euro and have a really really nice quality. I think the BP it's the best black 116520 on the rep market actually.

That’s my BP 7750 dial stock

This is after shaved

And finally this is the Noob one with gen crystal gasket (no more white effect of the glass, and the reahut also appear more low). The most important think that is with gen gasket it is actually 12,3mm, and noob stock was 12,6.

In these pics also ARF bezel installed. Better font IMHO.

From which TD did you buy the bp dial and arf bezel? From? MrTimezone?

Hey bro, very happy to see the clean shave on your BP dial! That looks perfect, what method was used?

Also wondering, couldn't the rep crystal gasket be sanded down .3mm?

Wow this is the perfect build that I want to have!

May I ask is the stock balance a weak link that recommended to swap out? Would like to know this mod is to improve accuracy or reliability of movement.

Noob definitely shine more with an ARF dial LOL
Great work M!

Awesome work my friend.

Why did you use the ARF crystal, was it necessary for better fit to the ARF bezel or would the ARF bezel fit OK to the Noob crystal?

I think the arf crystal looks better
