I pulled the trigger on a GEN 116520 black dial, does it fit latest Noob 116520 or do I have to call the army for help? :D

How about on an ARF model? Can I swap in a gen dial without modification or is it best to stick to Noob 4130 only?

ARF is not a clone movement, so it won't fit without modifications

ARF dial is larger than the Noob and Gen dial. And as Tobel has said, the ARF movement is not a (4130) clone movement, so it won't fit because the feet position of the Gen dial is different. And believe me, you DON'T want to cut the feet of the gen dial just so you can mount it on (an inferior) 7750 movement of the ARF.

Very beautiful. How much did it set you back roughly if you don't mind me asking?

Basically a gen at a fraction of a price. Congrats!

May I ask: is the ARF 116500 dial better than the Noob V3?

IMO : white dial V3 is better than Arf white dial.
the sub dial in Arf is slightly thin. But for black dial i have to say its almost the same for both V3 n Arf.

But again, its only my opinion,,, others might not agree with me :)
