They should have at least fixed the dial and broken something else by now!!

Obviously, yes.
The main reason is because they change of parts manufacturers between 10 versions lol.
Let's hope to see VSF strike Noob for good on Daytona territory.

Noob need some competition just like arf got smashed.

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 ....

I have the same setup. It's pretty much the sunk cost fallacy once the the ARF dial is paid for. :(

Well said, I actually had to look up that 'sunk cost fallacy." i agree. Where to draw the line is sometimes hard to decide. The reason I don't mind so much having spent the $$ is that I can probably recoup my "investment." I keep wondering if i should sell up at M2M for at or close-to-at what I paid for and just get a V4 OOTB, and spend the rest on .... well, probably another rep LOL!

Guys, I have an ARF bracelet, do you suggest to replace all, half bracelet or just the clasp?

Hi,
this is the test carried out on my never opened V4 (stock).
Do you think I can swim in the sea or take a shower safely with these values?

You can shower. I wouldn't go anywhere near the ocean. 5 bar ain't shit. People don't dive with their Speedmasters either.

Why would you even consider that? Nothing personal but I don't understand people who wear a watch in the shower. Or take a nice watch to the pool or the beach. Why not grab something that if you break it, lose it or damage it somehow you don't mind it?

I agree! But if by carelessness I had to wear it in the shower I just wanted to know this!

Hi, I think all this space between the bracelet and the case is a defect, what do you think?

Seems like your bracelet sits a hair to low in between the lugs. Maybe use other springbars.
This is how it should look in my opinion:

Hi folks. Bit of a lurker but I have bought from the td’s and find the information members post incredibly useful. Just ordered my Noob V4 Daytona from a TD. I’m delighted with the QC pics, and given the the comments here about the variable thickness of the Rolex printing on the dial, thought I would show you how good I think this one looks. I’m not an expert and can’t spot the issues; but this looks fab to me. I have noticed the slightly squared off coronet; but they all seem to be like that.
