I kinda thought that ettorefranco was from the EU, judging by his nickname. We have Johnny Depp here to do the job. I didn't even think about the US members as I replied. But you have other skilled modders over there, I'm sure one of them can do it.

I'm still on the hunt for one near me so i could either buy the v4 dial or buy an arf and source out the dial....still looking if you are a mod in conus, lemme know.

I’m looking for a modder in the US because the only thing it seems I must change on a v4 is the crystal gasket. Hopefully someone has a suggestion.

That bezel looks like CF is not needed (I have one on my 116519), That SUPERLATIVE is a bit messy... have seen much better than this

Arf makes some beautiful dials, but sadly they are not correct atm either. Subdials are to thin (Slightly) and the subdial numbers are not aligned correctly. But the 5 lines of text blows Noob away. So again, it depends on what flaws you can live with, but neither dial is correct.

You are correct but at the cost of 3-5k for a gen dial, i think the arf is the closest at the moment.

True but you wear a watch for your own personal pleasure so it matters to the wearer if it bothers them.

Well..... The subdials is the first thing you will notice are off. The text is pretty much impossible to spot if you don't have it 20 cm from your face :) I do love ARF dials, but they took a step back some months ago.

I have one of the old v.2.2 dials, and i don't see any point in upgrading at the moment. Neither a v.4 or a current ARF is going to be better.

From the looks of things, I might have to skip V4 and wait for v10. Been waiting for a Daytona Panda In my collection for awhile now.

What’s wrong with the recent ARF dials?

I'm no expert but here's how i seem em. Arf subdials appear smaller than gen. Thickness of the black border is good but size is smaller. Noob v4 seem too thick period. And noob v3 seem correct in size but too thin of the black border. My 2 pennies

Subdials are slightly to thin, subdial numbers are not placed correctly towards the bottom. And the red Daytona text is to high on the dial (but so is noob) ARF did do a dial with perfect proportions some months ago, but then the took a step back. Both dials where labeled as v.2

noob v.2.2 and v.4 has perfect sized subdials and the subdial numbers are placed correctly. (But the 5 lines of text is horrible on both)
