Gen midcase+gen crystal+ Ar bracelet and dial+ cf bezel.

Interesting build. Did the ARF dial needed to modded in any way to fit the gen case? What movement is the ARF dial on?

It contains noob 4130 which perfectly fits into the gen case without any further mod. Dial outer sanded to fit in.

Do all A7750 based dials need to be outer sanded to fit gen cases? Or just the ARF ones.

Hm im not really sure on this. 7750 diameter is smaller than movt. Arf dial is bigger because to fit in the big case rather than to fit on movt. Ar dial has 1mm extension out of the circle line which is quite obvious and which noob doesnt have. So if you can tell whether is bigger one or not when you see one.

Hi all,

I have this Noob based daytona already mod with gen dial, bezel, and pushers. But I'm not happy with the mid case which appears to be thicker and less curvy than the gen. Ideally I should get a gen case that will cost me a fortune, not to mention don't know where to get one. Has anyone here had experience with a Viet case such as this one, http://www.jewelryandwatch.com/contents/en-us/d248_116520_Daytona_case.html? How good is it compared with the gen case?

Really looking nice! This is arf? Anything done to it? The bezel looks great!

No, it is the Noob model.

Noob base watch with 4130 full working chrono movement
Viet dial
ARF bezel (little bit slimmed)
ARF crystal
ARF clasp
Gen crown
case rework / reshape
movement service with a bunch of Gen parts

That's it

Anyone here ever fit a JH / OMF Daytona dial to a Noob case and Noob 4130 movement? If yes, was any modification required besides for cutting the dial feet off the JH / OMF dial?
