NOOB V3 116500LN announced! Whats new?

[Tony Clifton]

There are gen rubber straps for Daytona but they come originally fitted only for the precious metal models. Won’t fit the stainless models which have different end links

maybe that’s what just cavalli was referring to

An Oysterflex (Rep or GEN) will fit a 116520 or 116500 case without problems. However you will have a free space between the Oysterflex and the watch case, unless you use Smarty Endlinks. With the Smarty Endlinks you will mimick the Looks of the 116519 models.

Here with Smarty Endlinks (not my watch, as it is a Gen):

+1. You can use smarty endlinks if you prefer that look. He sells them on ebay for $90. Both RubberB and Everest have direct fit rubber straps that looks like this. I personally like RubberB quality (very comfortable) but they are expensive.

Cool! Didn’t know they can be made to fit with smarty end links :thumbup:

By the way, this is my watch with Smarty Endlinks and Fluco racing leather strap.
Fit of the endlinks is good but not Great. If it would be from Noob we would surely cry about SEL gaps

^ Beautiful watch... and nice car! LOL

Thank you! The watch is a Noob with V2.2 dial and Clean Factory bezel. I am planning to swap the dial out for an Aftermarket Paul Newman black dial I got for a good price on Ebay.

And the car is a BMW 430i GC with M Sports Package. The car definitely helps to pull off the Daytona as Gen

Couldn't be happier with one of the greatest reps ever to be created. The Noob V3 is worth owning just for the achievement of cloning the 4130 perfectly. Smoothest movement and watch OOTB I have ever handled.

Very nice
I always thoght I wanted the Panda but the black dial is growing on me .... especially now the panda has the skinny subdials issue. For some time the panda was the better one, now the black one seems to be on top

Yes i had 3 arfs and this v3 latest batch have same genlike feel but with much better SELs than the arfs, better case and lugs and movement ofcourse is amazing..simply cant stop look at it... my friend have gen panda and when he saw my noob he couldnt believe that this is rep lol

 

[roflwaffles]

I have to admit as well, the black is really growing on me. I can't tell if it's because I'm getting impatient for Noob to get their shit together on the white dial though - going from the 2.2 dial to the current one is a big disappointment.

 

[2841]

Subdials are stil slightly off on the black one, but it does look a fuckton better then that ridiculous white v3.

still enjoying my v2.2, with CF, gen gasket and ARF bracelet

+1. Having owned all the models the Ceramic black grows on you. After sometime, you tend to gravitate to this model

Yeah if the current iteration looks as good as Robi01 and kennygconspiracy 's examples, I may have to consider getting a black dial as a daily wear to replace my sub which I'm getting bored of. The black one was my original preference before I got caught up with the hype of the white dial.

Panda is still a classic, can never go wrong with it. In fact, it defines the Daytona model but the black one is the hidden gem. Both of them should be part of any rotation

Yess, black dial noob daytona V3 is beautiful with correct sub dial . Too bad the white dial V3 is messed up.
Im lucky I have found someone who wants to sell his V2.2 white dial.
the perfect beautiful white dial version with correct sub dial. So I put V2.2dial in my V3. Looks Great with CF bezel
