Nice! I wonder why are we not getting much love for 116520 ?

my latest completed project! Noob v4 with latest CF bezel, arf v2 dial and arf bracelet!!!
looking amazing, wear in good health!! Did you use the entire ARF bracelet it only the removable links+clasp. I have always found the Noob bracelet as having better SEL fitment in the Noob case, hence my question
Ok noted Sir. I like the 116520, and have been lurking on this daytona v4 thread for some time, didn't see much mention about it, hence i'm curious. Did notice there's a new thread about it but not too much participation from the members though.
Thanks bro! I mounted the entire arf bracelet! maybe that's true, the SELs of the noob are slightly better but for me it's not that fundamental

Stunning, I hope they fix the O for the v5 and I order one.

hello, why did you mount the arf bracelet what is better than the noob?
on the left Noob v3 with arf v2 Bezel ... on the right noob v4 with arf v2 dial, last CF Bezel and arf bracelet. which one do you prefer ? I don't know why but the Noob dial convinces me more!

It is better to put only the clasp, now the bracelet does not adhere well to the sel and leaves huge holes!

I prefer on the left, bracelet well embedded in the SEL

The only thing I see is the orangey "DAYTONA" text. My poor eyes have trouble discerning anythng else.
The Noob dial white seems ever so little cream-like to me. I always thought it was the other way around where the Noob was more icey-white.
The "five lines" dial print seems everl so slightly crisper on the ARF dial
I honestly thought the ARF had the flatter crown LOL!
I recently acquired a setup like your watch on the right, Noob V4, CF bezel, ARF dial, ARF clasp. To be fair I really can't see the difference IRL on the wrist on what is after all a fairly small watch.
I keep questioning myself on whether the changes are worth the $500 surcharge or should I just go with an OOTB Noob V4 ....

You have a point there. This watch is small and the details so tiny, so they're only visible in close up photos. Not so much in real life with all the reflections from the non-AR crystal. I believe we're over thinking this whole thing a bit. I think that the OOTB Noob looks and feels great. The only thing I'd do is that crystal gasket, nothing else. Not even the CF bezel.

I see the wonky 60 now. "'Thanks" LOL what was once seen can never again be unseen. I am having a harder time with the "donut" O In ROLEX.
Still not sure if it is worth the $500 surcharge. That will buy me a whole other rep like that nice omega world timer or the ARF GMTII BLNR .....
