Definetly there is difference and you can see crystals sparkling on the edges while on noob gasket it is milky white and no sparkles... i posted pictures few pages before

Got it. Ordered the part from cousins.

Quick question. What's you guys' take on the chronograph? Do you stay away from using it as a result of the potential risks, or have you never had any issues with it?

I've been running my chronograph non-stop when it's active in the rotation, usually for about a week at a time, without issues. When it's not in the rotation, I reset it carefully (ie when the sweep hand and sub dials are pointing close to 12) and keep it in the winder not running. I suppose you could say I don't really "use the chronograph" in that I rarely start and stop it (which I thiink is a higher risk proposition). For me, I just enjoy seeing the sweep hand in action...it adds a lot to the aeshetic of the watch IMHO.

Did Noob make the dial text less bold on the latest v4 iterations?

Yes, you can check my thread. There are 5 different batches of the white dial, latest one is too thin compared to gen.

Interesting. I accepted this one just a week ago:
Seems to be not too bold but not as thin as your v5. I think this is around gen level.

So I believe the latest batches have been fixed. Or it is just random. Mine was just approved a week ago and seems good.

Duckber this looks to be a 4th batch, IMO the closest to gen. Many TD still have the 4th batch in stock. 5th COULD be correct, I saw a gen with that slim font, but just one...

Green lighted.

What do the gurus think of the spacing of the text on the subdials between the borders? 2 pics of gen for reference.

I have the gasket and the dial now and the tools. Just need a winding crown to complete, does anyone have a noob crown, maybe you fitted gen and have a spare?
