Not a single Noob QC that I have recently seen is correct. Even the black 116500 sub dias have gone thinner and remains to be shiny. Hoping to see a good QC again ;)

Totally agree. No one should buy from Noob until they get their shit together

I have seen 3 different Noob V3 116500 Black Dials, so far. One with Fat Sub-dials, one with Medium Sub-dials, and one with Thin Sub-dials.

Noob uses the same 116500 Black Dials for their 116520. So if you get the Medium version, the Sub-dial will be very close to 116520 thickness and the shine will be similar, but the Fonts still will be wrong for a 116520.

Anyone?

This is my qc compared to gen sudbial..genlike thickness as you can see
also i wouldnt agree that noob subdials color and "shiness" is close to gen 116520 which is more darker and much more shiny

Got this from Jennifer from Puretime. The latest 116520 has a green 904L sticker. What do you think about the dial?
Do anyone has this watch?

I got one recently. The dial looks fine

if I may add, your steel bezel fonts look pretty decent. Mine was a little skinny

Font of the ROLEX belong to 116500 font type.

^ Ah yes, the ROLEX font but it can’t be helped because Noob uses the same white dial for 116500 and 116520.

NOOB 116520 has all wrong font type, not worth to buy.
unless you want to go franken with gen 116520 dial, and its all good.

Mate I think that the dial has improved from its previous version but unfortunately the font spacing of the words under 12 ' hour is still incorrect for the 116520 .. I would still swap it with an arf one. One question, does the bracelet has the 0.5 easylink that does not need tools to be sized?

yes, I recall both noob 116500 and 116520 have the half link extension

Did someone compared side by side arf dial with gen in RL
we know that arf dials are superior than noob in terms of crispier print,better finished markers but when you look at every lightning subdials are look too white and too matte compared to gen..noob are little too shiny but also imo isnt closer to gen..gen is somewhere in the middle,less shiny than gen and more shiny than arf..also i think that gen is less white than arf and lighter than noob
