NOOB V3 116500LN announced! Whats new?

[2841]

At some period steel and ceramic black indeed had the same dials in GEN world

That is just not correct. 116500 and 116520 never shared the same black dial. The 5 lines of tekst has different fonts and placement

Well, then guys from Rolex forum dont know, because ive read it there.

I would agree with this, but I have read that it was not uncommon for Gen 116520 owners to switch the Steel Bezel to a newer 116500 Ceramic Bezel for a newer, updated looking Daytona.

Exactly, I’ve seen a couple of people put the ceramic on a 116520, but that’s not from the Rolex factory.

dont believe everything you read on the Rolex forum, they don’t know shit

My black dial Noob V3 arrived today from PT. Here it is next to my Noob V2.2 in white. What a huge improvement on the SELs on this. Yeah the subdials are quite a bit shiny, but I kinda like it that way.

Love it! i think it’ll be a great step forward

If someone have expirience, i wonder is it true that noob use 100% same subdials on both 116500 and 116520 black dials? Really im about to pull the thrigger for v3 this time and i want to wear it out of box like as it is and i dont want to some people say me like "hey that is the dial of old daytona 116520" lol
Have somebody compared this two dials from noob?

It's the exact same dial. The Noob black Daytona dial is a hybrid of both the 116500 and 116520. It has the ROLEX font of the 116500 and the shiny sub dials of the 116520. So in either watch it's half correct

The Noob V3 Black Dial with thinner Sub-dials does finally have Sub-dials that are about the same thickness as a Genuine 116500.
This Noob Dial also continues to use the correct narrower font from the newer 116500 Dial.
The only remaining problem with the 116500 is that the Silver Sub-dials should be more of a Matte finish and not so shinny.

Noob doesn't sell as many of the Steel Bezel 116520, so they just use the same Black Dial in both of their Daytonas. They have been doing this since the V1.
The older Gen 116520 Silver Sub-dials were more shinny, so that is correct, but on the Noob 116520, the Sub-dials would be too thin and the fonts are all wrong.

M Scott are the gen 116520 black dial and noob 116500 black dial have same subdials? Not thickness but color shine..or noob 116500 dial have more matt than the gen 116520? If you understand me

Exactly my thoughts. My black V3 also arrived 2 weeks ago and the SELs are on another level than ARF V2 SELs.
Putting ARF SELs on the Noob V3 works well. Same result. Other way round it doesn‘t work. Noob V3 SEL‘s on ARF V2 don‘t clip in.

Noob's lastest V3 116500 Black Dial has Sub-dials that are shinny like a Gen 116520 Black Dial.
The Silver Sub-dials should have a Matte finish to be closer to a Gen 116500, but they don't. Noob continues to get this detail wrong.

The Gen 116520 Black Dials had Sub-dials that were almost as shinny as the Case and the Hands. This lack of contrast between the Hands and Sub-dials made the watch more difficult to read at a glance. So when the Black Dial 116500 was designed, Rolex made the Sub-dials thinner and gave them more of a matte silver finish.

- The Noob V1 and V2 Black Dials both had Sub-dials that were way too thick and too shinny.
- The V2.2 Black Dials had Sub-dials that were about the thickness of a Gen 116520 and just as shinny. Better, but still wrong.
- Some Noob V3s have the old thick Sub-dialed V1-V2 Black Dials. A step back and really wrong.
- The latest V3 (V3.2?) does finally have the correct Sub-dial thickness, but they are still much too shinny as described above.

A Genuine 116500 Panda, 116520 White Dial, and 116520 Black Dial have Sub-dials that are all the same thickness.
Only the 116500 Ceramic Bezel Black Dial has slightly thinner Sub-dials that these other three Gen Daytonas.

So better is to wait white dial to corect thickness then rush and take black dial (in case you wont mod it)

 

[Bobi01]

So i reserched and realized and i must disagree that noob black dial subdials are same as gen or arf 116520
as you can see on pictures as noob have same subdials on both 116520 and 116500 black dials here we can see that the color is the same as arf or gen 116500 black dial subdials but only difference is noob is slightly more metallic than arf or gen..also arf or gen 116520 have much more darker subdials and also a more mettalic effect,just to clarify who want to know if buying black dial from noob..so 116500 from noob is closer to gen that the 116520

I’d wait based on the black and white dial QC photos I received over the past few weeks. Just hope noob update quick.
