I've trigger on 116500 black (ARF) v2. Now want to buy 116520 white dial too. Between arf and noob which is closer to gen?
I've read that Noob v2 dial improve alot. Are the subdial of noob 116520 white still fat like others?

The Subdials are better, but the ROLEX wording looks nothing like none of the variations of gen 116520 dials ever

i own a daytona, and it's far far more silent than the noob one, my noob is even more noisy than a JF 15400 v3 that i own sadly

Mine isn’t that bad. My Jf AP was horrible. Sounds like something is scrapping or it just didn’t get enough oil which adding some oil will solve. Hope ya can get it fixed - should be fairly simple.

for comparison a little oil fixed my jf entirely.

i see thank you, basically my daytona sounds weird, when i keep it flat and move it i hear and feel the rotor spinning for a lot of time as if it was totally free to move, as if it were loose

Oil will fix it... the rotor is supposed to move like that. The problem is that it’s noisy. Lack of oil for sure. I bet it’ll solve the issue. A gen Daytona you can hear it move but it’s pretty quiet because well oiled.

Wow bezel seem really well done in this new version. All they have to do now is to fix that absurd wrong font on dial writing and the Noob will be almost "perfect"!

The black dial instead is still the old bezel and orrible fat subdial even in 904L version.
