Noob Daytona vs ARF Daytona

[dc2_bb6_cu2]

Your concerns have been addressed several times in several threads.
But for your convenience:
1) Best black dial OOTB- ARF? - yes.
2) Will gen dial fit Noob watch with no mods? - yes

It is not clear from the posts in this thread whether or not ARF or Noob dials had been updated. But thanks for your answer.

This is my franken noob 4130 after swapping gasket with gen. I'm afraid I didn't measure while stock as this went fro TD to Franken straight away.

Hope it helps

The answer is NO, it will fit but you need to cut the feed and add new feed or glue the dial on the movement. You do not want to do this with an 800 USD dial.

I thought the gen dial would fit the Noob SA4130 without having to cut dial feet?

Yes, I read ARF instead of noob and as always, problem to edit.
Noob is plug and play, ARF needs modding. Sorry, had already beers.

I think your glass look great, so I mean the height.
The glasses looks from factory too thick. So I will change also the glass gasket when my watch comes.

PReceived the ARF v2 black 116520 today.
Bought it for parts only, bezel, crystal. some parts will go in the sales section.
Watch feels good, updated dial and bezel.
116520 is stock ARF, 116500 is a franken with gen 116520 dial. I don’t see any difference in the case.

Here some more pics

white is stock noob

see the difference in the bezel? Pushers still too long!

improved dial compared to the gen in my 116500

Case about .8 mm too thick. Far away from gen.
I tried to use a noob caseback on it, size will be about 12.5 mm
but then you cannot wind the movement anymore.

Yep, but if you remove decoplate e fake "rolex" rotor and install ETA spec rotor you can wind the watch without any problem. I've tried some experiments also

ARF have a great font. I've intsalled on my Noob SA4130 and fit well on stock Noob crystal, but it has a sligtly high profile, but thickness it's correct (2.5 like gen, Noob it's 2.7).

Anyway i think that is the best bezel you can get for a chep bulid.

With gen gasket the thickness of Noob wil be 12.3 (stock it's 12.6).

About the black dial for 116520 cheap bulid i've examinated all 7750 factory dial and IMHO the BP version it's the best black dial you can get (nice matt/gold reflection on normal light, but with sun light will be shiny as gen chromalight dial. Most of other rep dial are shiny on all light conditions). It has also a nice print and correct upper words with nice font (All Noob has wrong upper words font).


But anyway the white dial of Noob it's great. It has wrong font and fatty subdials, but it's great

guru have to give it to the Arf out of the box is an amazing rep. It looks so good. What are you planning to do with the parts from it ?

 

[Wurstriwl]

Are you going to fit the ARF dial in the Noob? Is this project still in your scope?

I am building a white and black 116520 Franken with gen dials, ARF bezel, ARf crystal and ARF clasp. The other builds are a black and white 116500 with ARF dials. I have the dials with the correct spacing. I rotate my Franken 116500 with the 116520 and the 116520 gets more wrist time then the 500 . So I decided to swapp the dial from my franken 116500 into a 116520. All watches are based on noob. I cannot live with these fake ARF daytona movements but mixing parts will give me some good watches.

I am jealous! I will not be able to order the Noob Daytona Ceramic Bezel until next week. The separate dial is already on the way, so I'm even more interested in your project

Looking forward to seeing them. I was wondering if you would be trying to use the Arf dial in the Noob, really interested to see how it goes. I imagine they will be a really nice reps when finished.

Didn‘t you see my thread on how to shave the dials? I am very confident in this project. Watches were just shipped, so it will take anothe 2 weeks.

guru Just looked for it now mate. I don't think the shaving of the dial is something I could do personally I don't have the tools or the know how. Cant wait to see it all put together.
