sorry who are?
Yep, been trying to source a bezel (€1.5-2k), black 116520 dial (€2-2.5k) and hands (€800) to a reasonable price for a while now - practically impossible. To my mind, it’s not worth paying 1/3 of aftermarket price of a gen 116520 for these few parts. I’m seriously considering buying a noob 116500 black dial and put on the 116520. My question is, 2k on bezel or 2.5k on dial - which one is essential?

Cheers

My next Franken build is on the way,
943a87da0f1b8c7d2e174d543a03f81f.jpg

Case shaved to gen spec, all gaskets changed by gen too, all movement parts serviced, epilame treatment for those needed, and waiting now rest of gen movement parts to arrive, maybe by end of this week.
Dial that will be modded will be there on tomorrow, gen racing hand set with all chrono hands in red, hope before end of the week.

Noob nailed this dial, so maybe try to get as parts from TD? The dealers do not love doing it, but maybe if you bundle it with your next purchase?

Thanks, I will try to that :) but apparently Noob isn't selling daytona parts these days

Peter, beautiful watches. What base watch did you use? The noob 116519?

Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Interestingly these two were based on noob 116505 rose gold models. They were decoloured to get rid of the gold coating, then properly polished& brushed.

Nice. Did you use Gen crystals as well? They look super clear!
