Hey guys ... I received photos of the QC for my daytona from my TD ... It seems to me that this has the v3 bezel and the v3 dial .... Or am I wrong? .. The TD told me that in this period noob brings out many daytona with the v2 dial and the v3 bezel .... How do you think this is?

It doesn't take much to see mate. Look at the skinny S in UNITS and the subdial thickness.

You're good to go.

Do you have blue or green lumen?
My v3 (white dial) arrived too, very nice watch but dial and hands has green lumen.
At QP's my TD sent me before the watch had blue lumen.
So i took some pictures without flashlight after charging the lumen and at these pics the lumen is blue again.
But only at the pictures, in real its green.
I'm not colour-blind or something, just curious...

I had a v2.2, which was awesome, but ended up parting ways with it and got a v3 after realizing how much I missed it. Sub dials are a tad bit thicker, yes; but they still look great! SELs are much improved on the one I received and after fitting my CF bezel (and 1.2mm gasket), I'm calling it good.

I've built some vintage Pateks, Vacheron and Rolex in my time, and I have to say that it's kind of nice to be able to buy a watch and not have an immediate desire or need to franken-build right out of the gate. It's pretty dang good as-is! And an enjoyable daily wearer!

1.2 mm gasket? Crystal gasket? Isn't it supposed to be 2.3 mm?

I think the hands are the only other thing I'd change, The finish on every one I've seen is rough and has light markings, with those replaced or cleaned up I'd call it a day.

Soooo, haven't checked in for a few months because I got tired of the ARF vs. NOOB discussions on the Daytona. It seems as nothing at all has happend since that.
I am dreaming of the day ARF releases a fully functioning daytona. Until then I stay with my subs and my explorer :)

Yellobird - Yes, typo on my part. 1 and 2 are too close together and I fat fingered. 2.2mm gasket is what I used. I know it's indicated as 2.3, but mic'd with a caliper, the gasket is really 2.2 and change.
