would the arf dial fit the noob movement ?
Also i have not seen any reports about a BP dial, is it good ?

Thanks mate, much appreciated, so it must be around 50, maybe 60 bucks on a regular order where they just bung it in a box with my ordered watch. Man I want this Daytona now

It's 48$ plus shipping, plus the work of a good watchmaker obviously since i'm not able to do it on my own :p

Yes me too unfortunately, but hey, I'm slowly learning, that's what's great about this hobby, you get to try stuff out.

I've read in another noob Daytona thread that it would fit if the dial feet are clipped. But I'll let someone who's actually performed the swap confirm it...

ARF is certainly a bargain...But the low power reserve is an issue. I take it off at 6pm after work, when I pick it the next morning, I have to adjust the time again...

is that because of the different movement ? Would pushers from BP or another factory fit for example ?

Nope. Different angle and movement. I'd try gen YG pushers on one of my Noob builds so I'll keep you posted. If successful, SS pushers will fit as well.

My ARf runs for 48 hours. That's properly winding it.

Try that and see if it's better.

Or else change the rotor as the stock is light and nkisy, whilst you are at it remove that silly deco plate too.

I am going to throw a spanner in the works and say that although there is a firm following of the ARF Daytona 4130 and those of the Noob Daytona 4130 I believe that Noob will win hands down on working chrono's. Other issues are just so minor that the average guy will never know and only the purists here battle it out for supremacy.

Exactly this, and plus subsequent versions will only be an improvement!
