Are my eyes playing tricks on me, or are the black one's subdials here not as thick as on the photos shown earlier?

Subdials are almost for sure thinner.

The Black Dial in the first ad and some QC pictures have been the old V1-V2 dial . Some of TD sites so far, have the Updated "V2.2" dial.
It appears that you have to be careful with the QC pictures if you want a Black Dial.

Yes, the rim of the sub-dial appears to be the difference in size. Probably only noticeable under magnification though and not so much when it's on the wrist.

Yeah, I think even the "2.2" dial had these ever so slightly too thick - but not comically so like it was on v1/v2 dial.
Gen on the right. I still think they’re a fraction too ‘fat’.
Definitely seems like some of the new black V3s have the better v2.2 dial, but not all of them.

For all the effort that goes into these noobs though I don’t get why they let it down so much with such a
poor dial. I know the ARF is cleaner but I’m not sure if the black dial is any better with regards to the sub dials.
Seems you have to buy both to have a good looking Daytona.
Sorry if this has been discussed before, just saying what I see. Been out of the rep game for a while now!

I am curious about how to determine if this is correct or not
. Does anyone have a resource for these reference numbers?
Take a look here: https://www.bobswatches.com/watch-re...-a-timegrapher
It's a very good description of those values, and tells you what range is considered acceptable for each. Overall, those values appear very good.

Yes, all of this has been discussed in great detail...

Just ordered one form Puretime this week.. but apparently they are already way backordered 
Thought I'd FINALLY get my hands on a 116500LN... How long are backorders typically? Hopefully not more than a couple weeks?

Shouldn't be more than a couple of weeks... They just keep making more of them.

Just ordered from TrustyTime, also back ordered but he says he gets stock every week. Might be that PT has a longer waiting list though as I think it's a more polular site.

If only my AD told me the same "backorder, just wait a coupla weeks" years ago.
Greetings Gentlemen,
This is my first post. I wanted to take a minute and thank this community. I've been reading through various forums articles for close to a year now, and learning an incredible amount regarding the watch world in general. I'm very interested in this 116500 ceramic Daytona, with the 4130 movement, and 904 steel. I consider this an incredible approximation.
I am leaning more towards the black dial (I actually find it more appealing), however I am worried about the subdial thickness. Can someone PLEASE confirm with actual QC pics or actual watch pics (after they receive it) that the subdials are in fact V2.2? If they are thick again (V1-V2), I am thinking I should go with the white dial to be on the safe side. The white dial subdials seem to be exactly like the gen....
Thanks for the help!

Welcome here !
In fact.. No.
Noob is actually using two dials for the V3. Confirmed by my TD.
A dial with green lume (on the right) and newer dial (left). Both are not using the fat dials, don’t worry. The newer is more gen like (subdials). Waiting it to see in real and to have a better opinion.
Check pics guys.

Subdials on black noob v2.2 V3 are a little bit thicker
Subdials on White are accurate but sunburst is not good. It is blue and gen is blacker.

the writing on the dial is horrible, so different from the gen. not to mention the horrible Daytona red / orange lettering. The arf dial continues to be better
The Daytona is a smallish watch. I doubt anyone would pick up the difference in subdial thickness even with the black dialed one, not even when held next to eachother unless blown up 50 times on a computer screen pic. Even the "serif" bezel is hardly visible-but I admit is annoying if you know it's there. In your shoes I would just get what I want, these reps are awesome. If I had not ordered a GMF GMTII BLNR for my first rep I would have gone with one of these myself.
