Do you guys (who bought a lot of watches from your TD and you are now more than only buyer and seller) get any news from your TD about releasing new version like daytona arf v3?

Noob because the watch is fully functional

Yeah completly noob is better but not for all peoples like me..chrono doesnt bother me and arf have better dial,better bezel,better clasp and bracelet and if 7750 dies you can easily swap it or repair it...and what if noob movement dies you will pay a lot for repair,am i wrong?

Any rep would need immediate service IMO as the movements are known to be dry as a bone

I wouldn't be able to deal with the fact I had a Daytona that only half worked.....

With regards to bezel etc these can be changed to GEN as im sure you know

A7750 is easier to replace but if you spend a few hundred to have a movement looked over, cleaned, and oiled theres no reason why it shouldn't last around 6 years.

Corect bro
and 7750 can last 5-6 years if you treat it well...and as i said it can be repaired easy by any watcsmith around

This is true, I'd personally go with a 7750 too. 4130 is pretty cool though

In a further cackhanded adventure in diy watch repair I managed to damage the movement in my ARF 116500 as well as snap the chrono second hand so I’m just considering my options (sell, repair, use as donor, throw off cliff etc).

Don’t suppose I can drop in the movement, dial and hands from a noob 116519 SA4130 can I? Or do it with some modification?I assume not, but thought I should ask the experts just in case.

Failing that, can anyone recommend anyone (in the uk preferably) who might be able to repair it?

If you are selling parts Id be very interested in buying the bezel of this watch

Like they cant make it right,I dont know how they cant make all SELs perfect on 400-700 dolars watches

I have similar chip corner in my NOOB SEL, but not as bad as in the macro shots. I barely notice it.
