Hi’
I bought a Noob V4 Daytona black dial and I am getting very irritated/frustrated by the “not sunken” crystal, it is just too high.

1) If I put a gen crystal and gen gasket in my watch, will the problem then be fixed, and the height therefore will be correct as the gen Daytona?

2) I am wondering about buying the Clean Factory V3 black dial and put that in my watch. I think the Noob black dial has a lot of flaws( the subdials, size of Rolex logo, painting/text beneath the logo, etc) but will the CF V3 fixe the problems with the Noob black dial and get closer to the gen or it is just a waste of money?
Hope for some good advice

Not Sunken crystal What do you mean by that? I have 3noobs and no one have issue with the crystals.. the cf v3 dial is a good uppgrade from noob but its better to buy the hole watch, mutch better caseprofile on cf,

Hi’
Thanks for your reply. I read this article about the comparison:

Some say that the noob crystal is thicker than the gen, and some say that the noob crystal can pushed down and then be at the same hight as the gen. The noob v4 is just too high over the bezel.
But can a gen crystal fixe this problem?

And some is saying that the noob crystal is not sunken as the gen has.

side view of case

There is no difference in the overall case shape between the factories, but Noob does not make sunken crystal, so it is a little higher than the GEN.

So how do I fixe this problem? Will a gen crystal fixe the hight problem?

The noob V4 is a little bit higher at the crystal than the gen. Are you telling me that yours is has the same hight as the gen?
