Yes, looks pretty good, but the dial is a no go for me....and an arf dial would be good, but i`m new to the replica world and i don`t have someone who can mod the watch in my region.....TD is perfect clones, i`m now in discussion with him, he has never heard about an other version than V3 and that there are watches with the the V1/V2 dial and the V3 bezel. But after explaining again and again he now is looking for a new one.

I like this rumor...
Makes sense as they seem to be trying to sell as many as possible, even if it compromises their quality.

Two very resent QC pictures from a well respected, Trusted Dealer showing the differences in dials that are still showing up from Noob...
The V3 should have the "V2.2" dial with thinner Sub-dials and many do, but now some are showing up with the old V1-V2 dials.

Got mine V3 today from Lucy. It is absolutely stunning! and the "fat" subdials nobidy should worry about it. in RL you won't notice it
looks stunning. I will also buy one and in my opinion no mods need it.

Just got this V3 from a TD. Is this the correct dial?

unfortunately it is this. Now the V3 comes out with these terrible fat counters but with the writing more red and less orange than in previous versions. They correct one thing and make another worse. As always
Come on mate. I am no fan of the noob but calling them terrible is over the top.
The black dial is terrible, for sure.
The white is a micron too thick on the inside but the issue is the gen has a shiny groove on the inside that sometimes makes it look thin, sometimes fat. I handled many 116500 gen and looked very carefully for this because it's as easy to see as the LEC on the crystal! But this photo kinda shows it
The ROLEX font is still a far bigger issue when you zoom in, on the wrist it's barely noticeable.
And I have around 10 daytonas, nearly all of which I've replaced the noob dials for either gen, arf or BP, so if it was shit trust me I would tell you.

You're right, terrible is the wrong word. but it makes me angry that they found the right size in version 2.2, and black had improved in 2.2 too. I received the black V3 with the 2.2 dial with thin counters, while the white V3 arrived with the fat counters, but I have an ARF dial (fat version) ready to be inserted. Obviously both with CF insert.
Just wondering, does anyone experience rust on the 904L bracelet? Or like sweat or any other liquid that causes it to rust or corrode? I previously owns a rep with 316F, started to develop rust after like few wears! FYI, I’m located in a country where by 365days are summer and humid.

Thanks for the comments. I did notice the fatter subdials on QC but had pushback from TD and at the end of the day it’s not a big deal (for me). What does bother me a little more though is the Daytona color. Even though the pic doesn’t show it too well it is kindda orange red as opposed to the gen. That’s the only really thing that stands out to me. Well and besides the well known issue with bracelet. Looking to get an ARF one.

Hi all here is a little report after 2 months by wearing it every day. I have about 2 seconds ahead per day on my model (it's even better than on my gen sub from 2004) I was lucky to have a model with thin subdials. nice SEL this point is in the process of being improved. the only complaints that I can make (at my level) would be the too orange writing of "DAYTONA" (it also depends on the lighting) the crown winding is a bit hard. the sound of the bracelet disappeared after a bath of WD40. and the noob bezel which loses its "weak" brightness when there is not too much light, soon a bezel CF, which I hope will change that. otherwise it remains a super replica, I am very satisfied for the moment. Here for my part
So, now i got the new QC pics and once again, i got the old dial with the fat dials and with the more orange daytona, which is more annoying than the fat subdials (for me). Also the marker is a liitle bit too much on the right side.... What`s your opinion on the dial and the minute marker?

Another thread ruined by QC pics after QC pics. This is really a plague
I´m sorry, but since the beginning of this thread there were dozens of QC pics posted and nobody did mind....i don`t want to ruin this thread, but i´ve read every single side of this thread and i`m still not sure about which version the dial is....

If you can't even tell the difference, then why does it matter? This forum is not QC as a service. My message was meant for you but not only. It was a great thread and if you look backwards it is now just a bunch of "is it the fat dials?", "is it a v3 bezel"? "Is my Daytona text too orange".. etc. Which everytime many QC pics. If you have read the thread then you should be able to tell the difference. If you can't then there is just no problem. Just accept the watch and enjoy it
