[WenR]

This is my QC pic... I think the subdials look fat

Looks great mate, not fat.

This is my QC pic... I think the subdials look fat, but the endlinks look ok

Subdials are not fat, but lettering are fat in all V4 IMO

Slilm dials of V3 botherred me
Serif bezel of V2 bothered me
Orange "DAYTONA" bothered me
The print on the V4 dial does not seem to bother me .....
Plus 'Tis the season .....

Can anybody please point me in the direction of a source for the clear / correct crystal gasket for this watch? Cheers

Take a look at these two dials: the first one is from a Noob Daytona 116500 V4 4130, the second one is from a Noob Daytona 116500 SP Asia 7750.
Apart from the big difference in price between the two, in your opinion, which one has the better dial?
There's something wrong with me ...

the second one has the wrong font for the writings, it's like a 116520, the first one is correct

It doesn't seem to me, this is the known gen dial

 

[Tony Clifton]

Look where the X in Rolex meets the U in the line below and you will see the difference between the two dials.

This is not a gen dial. Writing is incorrect for a 116500.

What you say is right, the letters of the second line are a little enlarged between them. But the fonts are better and more defined. The "O" (and not only) of Rolex is well done and even the fonts of the "Daytona" writing are more correct. Assuming they both have flaws, what I meant by my post was: which of the two dials is more acceptable?

What you say is wrong bro, this pic I got it from the Rolex website in the page of the Daytona 116500 white dial

7750 version is the old Daytona with the fat case, it has nothing to do with the modern day 116500 rep with 4130. Back then we could only dream about current offerings. It's not all about the dial, you know...

Guess you haven’t seen many 116500’s don’t you? The 5-line writing is different, also the red daytona writing (and the font of it, too) at 6 is different.
This is a gen one for reference.
Again, the one you posted have the correct writings and font for a 116520.

Yes, the T should not line up to the R
Another gen for ref

Why deny the evidence? I invite you to visit Rolex.com and you will realize that the pic of the dial I posted is that of a 116500.

I dug up a couple of old pics of my very first ARF Daytona. I bought it when they were introduced by ARF a couple of years ago. This is what the color/texture of the subdials should be like ( forget other details, it's the very first attempt) :











Zero shine in any kind of situation.
