NOOB V3 116500LN announced! Whats new?

[Bobi01]

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.

This ARF V2 Dial looks really good, I would use it if I were you...
Is there any TD who sell this one lonely or have to buy complete watch to get it?

I bought it from Chazing Time (only dial)

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.
.

Would you know roughly when did ARF update to these newer more accurate dials? And is it safe to assume that all newer ARF V2s will have this dial?

How much did you pay for the ARF V2 Dial only?

I have one

You already have the latest ARF V2 dial so that is as close to Gen as you can get...

Hi everyone,

Some news from my side, the rep is finally here
27/11 ordered via puretime website (Bitcoin payment)
28/11 Received the payment details per email
same day Bitcoin transfer
29/11 payment reception confirmed
06/12 QC pics, 24 hours to accept or reject
13/12 customs verification
26/12 delivered

I was afraid about customs but they released it. I was a bit surprised by the rudimentary packaging but it traveled well (will update you with pictures).

Watch is working well so far, chronograph too.
Bezel is far less black than on the pictures.
I also need to switch the spring bars.

Will update you with the pics later.

The change was made quietly sometime in the past few months. I don't see nearly as many ARF Daytona QC pictures because they don't sell as many as Noob does, and their quality tends to be much more consistent than Noobs.

All newer ARF V2s should have this newer dial, but I don't think it is safe to assume anything in the Replica Marketplace.

I must admit that sometimes it's difficult to really tell the sub dials apart on photos especially when the photos are not truly frontal, or they are low res. The fat vs thin Noob subdials are still fairly obvious at a glance, but the thin vs good ARF V2 subdials, I sometimes struggle to see without drawing the lines. Not sure if it's cos the difference is more minute than with the Noob, or that we just don't see as many ARF photos to be accustomed.

Thank you very much M Scott

what changes must be made to the ARF dial to put it in the Noob? It is difficult for watchmaker?

Needs to be shaved and then glued. It’s an easy job for someone who knows what they are doing.

Ok. shaved around?

Guys, i have a question...why someone will spend extra amount of money and time to change the dial of V3 with ARF? I don't get it...V3 is one of the best reps ever made, not perfect, but neither the gen. So....

Because V3 have counters little bit more fat than gen.
and the ARF dial is better finished. Writings and markers made better. Red Daytona writing closer in font and color.
That's all But Noob V3 is still a nice watch

It’s too big. So it needs to be made a little smaller. Can’t tell you by how much exactly. You’re from Italy?

Could be...and still.Too much trouble for something that no one can spot. And how you see the V3 dial is still different on every single watch. Don't get me wrong, this is your watch and wrist, i'm just saying my point of view

Yes Italy ;-)
