I have never seen Noob do a correct SEL, the backside is always wrong

for me the problem is ahead. having changed the downward curve they now go too straight in relation to the case. Now the error is seen having the watch on your wrist :-(

Either way, i always change the bracelet/clasp to ARF, they are the only ones who can make a good Rolex bracelet

don't you mind the gap that leaves the sel arf? I have seen and read that sel ARFs do not fit perfectly in the Noob case. They leave a space of light ... or not?

Yes they do leave a tiny speck of Light, even with the latest v3 Noob case, Just hold the watch SEL up with ARF bracelet towards a light source and you will see it. But it’s much less noticeable on wrist. For best SEL fitment, I still prefer the new post COVID Noob v3 case + bracelet (SEL and permanent links) and use ARF only for screwable links + clasp.

However If you can live with it - I can definitely see going full ARF bracelet

I will take the tiny gap over wrong shaped SEL´s anyday :) The gap is fixable, (See my post) the wrong shape is not

I have also ordered a V3 and it's seems the dial is the one with the thinner subdials that I'm trying to refuse, but I do not know if there is any chance now to get the previous fatter batch.
It's seems also that the dial is not perfectly aligned, isn't it?

Yup, definitely the thinner subdials. I had the same issue, and rejected from two TD's. One of them was able to source another one with much better subdials, which I have en route to me...

Do you think Noob made a joke with these counters? Perhaps we have repeated too many times that the counters of the Daytona Noob were too fat and the Noob Factory got angry :))))

Yeah I had the same thought. Calling my subdials fat? Well try these skinny, anorexic ones on for size f*ckers.

I ordered mine last week, and gave my green light yesterday.
I don't have fat or too thin sundials, according to me they are perfect.
so I think you just need to be lucky for the moment :p
