I think it is right. I what way do you think it is super wrong? Are you sure you are not comparing it to a gold case which is totally different?

Here is the gen profile:

Here is the rep profile:

Notice how the case is "blocky" at the bottom, rather than having curvature? I can't un-see that, tbh if it weren't for that I would have ordered by now.

Light and angles make a huge difference. It is really hard to judge shapes from random photos

Here is a photo of the Noob from a similar angle . No it is not perfect, but it really isn't bad at all.

I am yet to see even a half decent photo of a watch by a rep factory or TD

I think we are seeing the same thing but might have a difference of opinion on how bad we think it is. It seems like an obvious flaw/tell to me

The way the crystal protrudes from the case is freaking awesome!

As far as I can see, the new dials go with two ticks at 27 and 33, and the subdials are a bit more shiny. This is exactly the model that noob is replicating and seems to be correct. The 1 tick only are older, more matte on the sundials.
Well.. The two tic dial in this post seems to be newer model too i could be wrong. Does this exist for white dial too?

AFAIK every ceramic bezel Daytona has a two tick dial. On the steel bezel there seems to be no precise form, they could have either. So Noob had to make a choice and cover all bases by using the two tick. It is hardly a tell as there seems to be plenty of both in the steel bezel Daytonas. They are correct in putting the brighter dial with the two tick.

At minute 35 there are two longer lines. On gen there should be only one

Haha no that you point it out, the two ticks seems odd visually

Thanks for the post, and especially the detail about the movement.

Is it fair to say you are satisfied with it? The watch looks absolutely gorgeous.

How does the Bezel on this compare to the ARF? Specifically the depth and paint in the numbers and letters on the bezel.

The bezel insert compared to the ARF is crap frankly, and sadly the dial isn't much better, although the ARF dial isn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination.

The movement is a piece of rep history in the making though and it's a great base for a franken.
