NOOB V3 116500LN announced! Whats new?

[Mark1937]

I find it super hard to QC the sub-dial thickness of Noob Daytonas.

So far I rejected both of these in the last days, as neither seem to be the "thinner" size. Am I wrong here and these are the actual V3 versions?

It's a bit frustrating, I never had any issues with the last +10 reps I bought.

Who is your TD?

You were correct t reject both of these watches, as they both have the old V1-V2 thicker sub-dials.

As others have said, the first one also has the old Bezel.

Your pictures look like they are from Puretime, which is where the V3 QC picture on the right is from.
Too bad that they don't seem to know the difference.

im no expert but the first one is a v2 bezel, second one is a v3 bezel (based on the swoop on the R). both dials look to be older subdials though. below are images of mine, the subdials are thinner and the text sits slightly lower in the ring if you know what i mean

Thanks guys! I made it very clear that I am looking for one with thin sub dials. I was wondering if maybe PT gets reps with worse QC from factories or other dealers get access to better batches? At least so far, there was no fuss about RL'ing them.

you only need a lower gasket because with cf bezel crystal is too high.
Can you post pic of the SEL with ARF bracelet?

Thanks

 

[Mark1937]

I tried to swap the whole bracelet but it didn't work. the sel arf are narrower and leave a space. in the end I left the fixed part of the Noob bracelet and I replaced only the removable links with the closure. I must say that with half an arf bracelet it is already much better

 

[Mark1937]

Please, can anyone tell me if the crystal and the ARF gasket are better than Noob?

Thank you so much
