NOOB V3 116500LN announced! Whats new?

[Wogi82]

The same way as noob have fat ones, sadly. BTW the difference is much more clear to the naked eye with the fatter ones rather than the thinner.

Anyway, the bezels DO fade away. Mine survived for ~1 month, then it became completely dull. Bought an ARF donor watch to change parts..

Oh serious? Mine’s about 1 month old, still looking good!
seems like CF bezel is the way to go.

I keep thinking that ARF has too thin subdials.

Se ti fidi del mio parere, tutto andra bene

I have held many gen. Avere fiducia! The thin subdial is an optical illusion. Un cerchio bugnato crea un'illusione ottica.

It's difficult to explain even in English let alone Italian, but the subdial it's not an issue with ARF dial.

in fact, I trust you.
The thin subdials in the gen is an optical illusion, in reality it is exactly as thick as the Noob, while in the ARF the subdials are really too thin and the white part inside the subdials is too wide. This creates an imbalance in the proportions. I prefer ARF proportions but Gen is like Noob.

Hi there,

I thought I'd say hello and introduce myself as I have been reading thread after thread 100s of pages for just under a year! I finally bit the bullet and ordered noob Daytona v3 I have already approved the QC pics as they looked good compared to all the ones I've seen on here and it's in transit very excited for it to arrive I have reps but this is my first superclone here is a picture of it hopefully you agree I made a good choice I did notice slight sel gap but didn't want to refuse as I've read it can be caused by cheap watch spring bars.

Beautiful. Just change bracelet with ARF one ;-)

 

[skyline147]

Thanks for the nice comment! Looks like my research paid off I have heard the bracelets are not the best I was going to baby oil bath it as I didn't realise you could swap ARF bracelet or do you just swap part of it?

Best regards Karl

Might not be a perfect oob super rep but a super rep it is (imo). V3 without any filters. Day sunlight. Happy weekend!

I keep thinking that ARF has too thin subdials.

ARF has made a few quiet revisions or running changes recently without changing the version number.

- All of them are small improvements such as the alignment of the Rehault engraving and the length of the Pushers.
- ARF also revised the Sub-dial thickness on the White Panda dial. It is now slightly thicker than it was to be about the same thickness as a Gen.

The ARF dial shown in the pictures above has the older, thinner Sub-dial thickness.

Both the newer ARF Panda dial and the Noob "V2.2" Sub-dials are now about the same thickness as a Gen.

Many of the new Noob V3s now appear to have the old V1-V2 thicker Sub-dials. The difference is very slight, but it is there.

For me it is amazing OOB rep. I would not change anything on V3. Wear it in good health mate.

Dial fat?....

Actually the sub dials of the V3 are closer to the gen's than the thin sub dials of the ARF.

Ok .. But what is this dial? ... I see the numbers of the counters with a slightly thicker graphic ....

it depends both on the type of camera used and how much the counters are pressed on the dial. in reality the well pressed counters give the effect of being thinner than a few microns

 

[skyline147]

Does anyone know of any cheaper places for a sapphire or even glass rear case as the German site have put there price up from 99 euro to 189 euro almost doubled in price!

Also do you trust the watches waterproof just as it says your warranty is not covered if any water damage?

Best regards Karl

Black dial on noob V3 is not really close to original. There are a bit watches with correct subdials, all others have fat one.

 

[Mark1937]

I have ARF V2 dial, Noob V2.2 dial and Noob V3 dial. Near ti gen ARF V2 and Noob V2.2 are little bit too thin, (ARF V2 have white area inside counters more big than gen) V3 are little bit too fat.
These are microscopic differences but none of the 3 dials is perfect.  I honestly don't know which dial to put on my Noob V3.  Maybe I will leave his ... which is perhaps the closest to gen as the propositions.

There are Two Different ARF V2 dials.

- The original version had thinner Sub-dials as you have described above.
- The latest version has Sub-dials that are about the same a Gen.

Find the latest ARF V2 dial and use that.
