It looks like Puretme just released the Noob 904L version. I just got my white dial v2 literally yesterday... Should I sell it M2M? Is it noticeable between 316L and 904L? Mine is still brand new :(

The only difference between 316 and 904 is that 904 has a slightly higher nickel content, and therefore is a little more corrosion resistant. I'd stick with the 316 but it's your call. 904 is overhyped IMO.

Yes, you should sell it to me! lol

Jokes aside, no.
You can’t tell 316 from 904, and as far I can see they didn’t improve any of the previous flaws like dial/sub dials,bezel,so on...

I'd be curious to know how the new bracelet feels, and if it fits the old Noob Daytona. If so, i think it could elevate the noob watch even further.

You cannot feel the difference between the 316 and 904 steel even though people would argue they can. If you can get the same watch on 316 cheaper then its a no brainer.

True, but I hate how the noob 316 bracelet feels .If you've dealt with the ARF bracelet, you know that there is a huge quality difference and feel between the two. If the new 904 feels like the ARF bracelet, I'm all in.

Does someone know why exactly the ARF SEL don't fit on the Noob?

Switched my order to the 904L Daytona. Hopefully I'll be part of the Daytona club soon!

What would be a fair price to sell the v2 316L worn 2 times only?

If Noob use the same CAD template and parts to machine both 316 and 904 bracelets there won't be any difference in the feel between the two.

Ugh! Thank you for the response, nevertheless.

There are SEL gaps using the ARF SEL on a Noob case. See this post for more info. Some fits may be OK and not look really bad. I saw a post where MrBeasy showed a good result. He quoted another member but did not have good luck on his own efforts.

Has anyone successfully put a 116500 ceramic ARF bezel onto a Noob WITHOUT using the ARF crystal and gasket? Asking about just swapping the bezel nothing else. In all the posts I've seen where the ARF ceramic bezel is put on the Noob, the ARF crystal and gasket were used along with it.

We have done it but it makes no sense. The ARF crystal is nice but you only see the difference when you have both next to each other.
Noob is 90%, ARF 95....
Another point is,you can take the bezel incl the crystal off as one piece and you can put it back on in one piece, just press the crystal in. Why? To avoid the chance to brake the ceramic bezel when pressing back in.

I've a question for all of you guys and you my friend:

The Noob gasket it's 2.5mm and the watch measure 12,6.

With gen gasket the watch actually it's 12,3. So i think that gen gasket was 2,2? is this possible? (i miss to measure my gen gasket before fit on the Noob)

Anyway, actually my Noob has gen gasket, Noob stock crystal and ARF bezel.

it's pretty cool, but i think the height of the crystal, on profile view, would be more higher than mine actually.

So Noob bezel was 2.7 and ARF it's 2.5 (as genuine).

What will happen if i shaved the bezel for example 0.5? i will se the gasket then on the profile of the crystal?
