Noob Daytona vs ARF Daytona

[Bobi01]

Anyone have SEL like this or im the only one with this issue? ????

The dial color of 116520 is perfect, subdials are like gen. They change color
from silver to gold, depending on light.
The only dissadvantage are the fonts and printing of the writing on the dial. But from 50 cm away nobody will see it.The 904 version has also an updated bezel and a new clasp. Also the Sels are improved.
A good watch for every day. On all other 3 SS models the subdials are too fat and the watch looks like a cheap beach watch

Other members have posted photos of a new "V2" Noob Black Dial 116500 with smaller sub-dials...When I overlay these photos over Gen and ARF photos in Photoshop, the new Sub-dials now appear to be the same size as a Gen or ARF... Maybe you haven't seen the photos? Or are you waiting to see one in person before you give your opinion?

Watches 1 and 3 are not the same either. Look at the 6 o'clock subdial. I've noticed this before in the Noob V2. The 45,50,55 and 5 white index markers don't touch the inner subdial ring while the rest do. Also the 5 index marker on the 9 o'clock subdial. This is not a one-off, seen several examples of it. Watch 1 is the only one like it in the 4 above.

Watches 1 and 3 are not the same, but 2,3, and 4 are. All are claimed to be the most resent Noob "V2" 11650 Black Dial...

Watch one is different, but all are Noob 904L V2... 2,3, and 4 are the same.

Watch 1 is from Post #931 of this tread... https://forum.replica-watch.info/for...daytona/page63

The same Member who posted the photo above, posted this QC photo along with others in post #939 -

That was me with the QC pics of this black "thin subdial Noob V2"... It puzzles me so much at the moment that it still didn't arrive here! According to my seller, it was shipped on 11th of January from UK and I didn't get a tracking number (ok, I also didn't request it again and again... so it's ok I thought, what can terribly go wrong from the UK to Austria?) But slowly I begin to get worried. Anyway, if it really arrives, I promised to make some hi-res pics for reference. Fingerscrossed

I think that may be down to angle and shadow

This on the other hand....

1 & 3 - look at the gap on the inside of the R and the space between R O L compared to 2 & 4

Agree that 3 looks more like 1 than 2 & 4. At least they all have thinner subdials anyway.

Thanks for posting your QC photos. Looking forward to hearing what you think and seeing more photos when you receive it.

I understand your point about the spacing around the "O" in "R O LEX", which you have pointed out many times before on Noob Dials.

The photos that I posted above are all Noob 904L V2 watches.

- Watch #1 is the first good V2 photo that I saw from early in January.
- Watches #2, 3, and 4 are all the same watch in different photos in early February.

I put the photos back in the original order posted above to better illustrate my point...
In this first illustration, some of the ROLEX logos do appear to be different, but...
.

.
In the second illustration below, I have adjusted the light levels a bit for all of the enlarged ROLEX logos to show how similar they really are.
Watch #4 is pictured on a little angle so the spacing appears a little different.

On my screen, the ROLEX logo is magnified about 2x on the full Dials and magnified about 30x just to illustrate this very small flaw. A small flaw that now seems to disappear at different angles or in different light.

Actually pics 2,3,4 are my Noob pics just arrived. The lighting and closeness of the lens may make it seem different

Hi, May I ask from which TD you got this v2 Noob?

Thank you for confirming that and thanks for posting all the great photos!

The White Dial 116500 Panda seams to be more popular than the Black, but a good Black one is what I have been waiting for.

The Tourist Something is wrong with your shipment, I'm from Slovenia and I get the parcels from the UK in 7 days max., but normally in about 4. And I'm talking about regular RMSD mail, not some express courier service. It's also unusual that you haven't received the tracking number. Contact your TD ASAP!

Can anyone give any insight into what the wax treatment involves?
