The best 116500 black dial is Noob V3 first batch :)
This is mine with CF bezel, (now gen crystal gasket) and ARF bracelet...but I don't use it. Maybe I will sell it... :)

Awesome pic!
About a year ago, I got the Noob Daytona, put an ARF V3 Dial, CF Bezel, Gen Xtal, ARF Bracelet, had it serviced... was all excited when I got it back. Think I have only worn this 3-4 times. I just don't reach for it! I took pictures earlier today to put up a post to sell. Came across your comment!
Debating whether to keep this or sell?

Another question prior to ordering: I have seen many Noob subs fade on the insert markers along with their Pepsis. Can anyone with the v4 bezel insert state if their insert markers faded on the Noob Daytona?

I'm a Tona guy..I want them all..but the 116500 black dial has zero appeal to me, whereas the 116520 black dial is probably my most worn watch. Black ceramic bezel and dial do not go that well in my opinion. On the contrary the panda is just stunning

Arf is better than v3 for sure but noob v4 im not sure,they improoved crispness of the subdials on v4 and hour markers are genlike on v4 imo... but arf is superior than v3 for sure

I have a question regarding hands of the Noob V4. Mine seem to look scratched in certain angles, especially the chronograph hand. Is it possible to source hands as a part from TDs?

Thank you for your reply! Do you have an idea of how much a set of hands would cost?

Another general question - do you guys still feel that the CF bezel is a worthy upgrade of the V4?

I think maybe 30-40 dolars
about bezel,i didnt see in real life v4 but in picture looks very bright and decent so i think isnt worth until it starts to fade,you will see from time to time,why to upgrade if you think it is bright enough?
About CF, latest batch is very bright and genlike
so imo dont change until you think that your bezel is starting to fade in color and not bright enough :)

Thanks bro, I appreciate your thoughts on the matter!

I talked to a famous modder, he wants a 100€ for new hands, work included.... Waiting for reply from my TD.

I think I'll leave the CF bezel for now. I don't think it's worth it, I like it as it is.
