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. I agree with you. In fact, I have the ARF dial and I have not yet decided whether to make the change. In my white V3 the counters are not excessively fat. Although I was much luckier with the black V3 :)))

Wow, your black dial looks stunning. Mate, don't waste your time and money to change the dial. Both watched are amazingly good reps!!!

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....

Yes, totally this... Add 700 for Noob V3, + 150+ for ARF dial + another 150+ for CF insert, and then the risk of a watchmaker (or even worse: yourself) switching these things around... That is already 1K + labor (150ish?). I understand some folks want to seek extreme perfection (as close to gen as possible), which is fine (if that makes you happy),... but again for me, there is an old proverb: "the enemy of good ... is perfect"... I'll keep mine as is.

Well said. Also taking in consideration that neither the gens are perfect. I have few rules. 1) Buy a rep you like 2)Enjoy it 3) If stops,just buy another one :)

Right, you should just get a Noob Daytona because it is "good enough".

You will be very happy, as long as you never compare it side by side in person to an ARF or a Gen.

The ARF I bought just came in today. For comparison: this is how the V3 bezel compares to ARF side by side in indoor and directly under the light. I’ll shot more detailed dial pics later, anyway the “quality feeling” of the ARF is FAR superior than noob.

I don't think it's about the watch. End of the day it's a Replica. It's a hoppy. Every one has some sort of passion for something. Why people go fishing instead of going to the fish market ????. But I am like you I buy mostly gens. But if I cant afford or its impossible to get. I go for the best replica on the market.

Indeed, ARF bezel and dial are better manufactured, but insane to see how fast the noob v3 bezel is actually fading !

But why ARF wouldn't come with an actual working sub dials?? If they can make a perfect good looking exterior

Because noob is the only factory with the real clone movement that achieves both working Chrono and thinness. All watches with a7750 movements are thick, except the ARF that made the trade off of relative thinness in exchange for non working subdials

Why Toyota wouldn't make a car run as fast as a Lambo? Since they can make a new car in any shape, exteriorly.

Received my QC pic of the Noob v3. Some of the numbers looks dirty and dull. Is this normal?

Hey guys .... I have read several discussions on the CF bezel for daytona 116500 .... Some have told me that it is better to replace it with the Bezel noob v3 ... Others have instead told me that it is not convenient because the difference is minimal and yes note only in certain light conditions ... And then also the CF bezel are damaged exactly like the noob v3 ... What do you think about this?

what i experience with the v3 bezel is, after approx 2 months plus with minimal wearing (about 4 days weekly) the bezel started to fade and looks dull under certain indoor lights conditions, and if you have a CF bezel to compare side by side, it's quite a noticable difference. So i guess, CF is the way to go moving forward.

Do we need a different crystal gasket when swapping over to CF bezel for the height ?
