Some parts I was able to get at a steal, others I overpaid for. I'll post the price breakdown if I ever decide to sell it.

Much appreciated. Fortunately not as much as gen, not that I could get on a waitlist for a gen even if I wanted to.

Wow great work here!! Why don't you use a gen spec spring bars? if you use a correct one you should get better recession at the ends of lugs. Now It seems SEL sits too high than it should be.

I hadn't noticed - thanks, man. I've just been using some random cheap ones I found on eBay. If you know of some good ones, I'm all ears.

Thanks for the link, I'll check em out. I'll probably swap out the spring bars when I get the gen pushers. That'll be the last thing I do. I don't see the need to throw on a gen bracelet or movement.
The gen case really elevates it.

+1 for Everest spring bars. I have the same, they provide almost perfect SEL fitment on both Noob v3 and gen case.
Also, given that you have gone all the way, did you also consider gen P502 pushers? A bit expensive but you got everything else gen

Yeah I know, I should get the gen pushers. Something about how small and simple they are has kept me from dropping that kind of money on them.

They have much better shine (polish) and very smooth screwing rotation to them (open/close). I have it on my 116520 franken.
This has become my favourite piece!

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?
Im wondering the same.
And does anyone know someone in EU who can do case engravings?
