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

Yes bro. ARF is much wrong than Noob for me. The best 116500 dial black is Noob V3 first edition ;-)

Nice... Noob have perfect SELs on latest batch

Thx. I hope the sundials are not as shiny as the last versions. I have a black arf dial which imo looks way better than noob in many regards but the subdial printing is killing me.

I’m not sure how shiny the previous ver were but the black 116500 V3 i got a month ago still have pretty shiny subdials... so you will to pick your poison between noob and ARF dials

Hey Mates, could you please advice on this Noob V3. It seem that left 9 o clock stay little flat on the left side. Is it acceptable?

What do you mean by “left 9 o clock stay little flat on the left side”? Can you clarify ?

It does look strange and moving this on at a later date could cause issues for new buyers.

Here you go, ARF dial with the right lighting, just the right amount of sunburst and Matte/shine balance. Overall, ARF dials are much better than any Noob variant ;)

I mean that it seem that left round stay little flat on the left side. Not seem to be perfect rounded.

I think it’s the camera angle. If you want to sure, you can ask for more photos of the subdial

Is this the Noob V3 Daytona? If so, the usual QC issue is the thickness of the subdial which can be too thin or thick. Yours look ok in my opinion.

when I see a black ARF 116500 dial I call it immediately. You see instantly that it is a rep. Counters look like tinfoil. While the Noob counters are much more gen like, there may be a doubt that it is a 116520 dial, but you don't immediately say that it is as fake as ARF. This is just my opinion ;-) Dial Noob is better than ARF only on 116500 black.

i must dissagree for this..gen 116520 is much more dark and much more shiny while the noob 116520 dial is much more close to gen 116500
