Hi everyone, seeking your input. Got this info from my TD. Any ideas if this is alright? This is for the Noob V3 Panda.

So would it be worth me buying the 116519LN and CF bezel instead of waiting for the V3? It's just extra cost, unless the CF Bezel is much better than the V3 bezel. And I need to look into how easy it is to swap them over myself.

They said CF is much better than stock Noob v3. But My TD said Noob bezel is acceptable. So, It depend on your budget and how much you want that model. Because no one can confirm when they will update 116519LN bezel. May be 2 or 3 months?

For swapping bezel yourself, there is a thread about how to swap. If that process is easy for you, you can do your self or some TD can swap for you and will charge you some $$$.
I have 116519 v2 with ARF bezel and it is really good for me. But I will change to CF since ARF have faded white.

interaktiv serviced mine, but many watchsmiths in forum can do it

Just be prepared, is much more expensive service than a 2824 for example

Maximum amplitude for a 4130 is 310, your qc is over Rolex spec, red light this one

Can you elaborate on this parameter and the side effects of it being above or below the min/max spec? I'd never known about/payed attention to that parameter before, just the seconds gain/loss per day.

You can check out The Oligarch, listed under New/Probationary Trusted Dealers. They're in SoCal.

Yup, I did some digging and research in the forums and came across this guy. Since then I emailed him and he has replied already. We live quite near each other so it's really convenient. Thanks for the help though!

Finally here... my first rep. To me it looks very good. In my opinion the SEL‘s looks great. I never had the gen, but the bracelet feels a little bit cheap I don’t know. Adjusting the time is a little bit difficult. To turn the crown is way to difficult

​Looks great, are you going to write a review? Also could you upload some pictures in daylight?

Review I don‘t know. My only problem is to adjust the time. It‘s possible but the crown is very hard to turn. Later I‘ll go outside and take some daylight pictures

It is interesting that you are having this issue. I wonder if it is a once off thing or a systemic issue with all the V3s.
