Got mine 2 weeks ago. I now have 2 4130 based Daytona’s. Wondering how I will get them serviced once they need serviced..

It would be hard honestly since 4130 is not an easy movement to overhaul. This is one of the reasons why I am still hesitant in getting the 4130 clone Daytona.

Its amazing movement,i was sceptic like you but movement is so strong and solid
major people are also satisfied in long term so thats telling something
To add to that its buttery smooth. It really is fantastic
This. And it's what surprised me the most to be honest. I had a watches buying spree lately so I didn't wear it nearly enough but I was generally impressed by the finishing and the smoothness of the movement. I like to wear different watches depending on my outfits , meetings or activities so I'm not really concerned with maintenance right now but I've been thinking about buying a 4130 clone movement just in case I would have to overhaul it in the future ^^'

My V4 has just arrived back from Nikz19 spa treatment today, he got it rid of the disgusting milky crystal gasket and slapped on the CF bezel. Plus a bit of timing adjustment. The difference is night and day, especially with the gasket! Thank you mate, you've done a wonderful job!

Can someone help me see the difference between CF and Noob bezel? What is better about CF? I'm about to mod my V4 with a 519 dial, a better crown (mine is crap) and a cousins crystal gasket. If I reckon I need a CF bezel I'll order one and wait for it before I start working on the watch.

The noob gasket has a white tone to it. The cousins one is more clear/transparent which correlates with the gen. The side by side comparison has been posted on this thread if I recall correctly. I can’t seem to find exactly where at the moment though (on mobile). Hope this helps

in my experience, the only case in which you do not necessarily need to change it is if you have an 116520 white dial. In every other case there is a white halo at the rim of the crystal which, once you changed to cousin or gen gasket, you cannot unsee
It's subtle but evident at the same time.
My mtm purchase noob arf hybrid had arrived with a not so good ARF dial and a broken driving wheel for ratchet. Mike watchservicesny serviced the movement, replaced the ratchet wheel with gen and replaced the crystal gasket. Also put the v4 dial back in.
Watch runs sweetly and looks great!
hard at work timing breaks between sets at the gym. Who says you don't need a chrono!!
bravo watchservicesny

Had my v4 noob panda few weeks, crazy watch. Best I’ve ever owned. Is it just me or do they wear very small? I have average 6.5 wrists. Only ever tried it on but seems so small. Going to be selling to a friend. Anyone agree?

I completely agree. it's a cracking watch and mine gets noticed a lot, shame to sell it.
Yes, I was surprised how small it wore too, but I do have a slightly larger wrist, but it sits lovely, low and comfortable and will easily go under a shirt ????

Here's a photo of my V4 with an upgraded CF bezel. The difference is very obvious IRL, much more than in pics. Especially in low light. The gen spec gasket is even more obvious, no more milky ring around the crystal, I love it!

I found some old pics of my V4 and tried to replicate a similar situation, so you can see the difference regarding the gasket.
