They are WONDERFUL!!! I sold my gen 116520 because it was identical!!!

You did the correct thing mate....these two jewels you have would give the pleasure and satisfaction one would need of owning the cult Daytonas
Great watches mate...I wish I would have had access to expert watchmakers at my location who can create these great builds!!!

I agree. At first I wondered if I should franken the 4130 movement too, for better reliability, but in the end a good service proves the Noob actually is very reliable.

So far the only thing I should have thought about is keeping the Noob endlinks when I switched to the ARF bracelet, they don't fit as good as Noob's.

Overall this "mid-size" level of frankening the Daytona makes me a happy man, this watch is one of the favorite in my collection.

I understand that mate, but its about the finishing n finesse required. I myself have skills to assemble a submariner and have performed swapping parts and creating frankens n custom Rolexes. But chronographs especially Daytona is a different ball game for me and watchmakers in India are not as finicky as me so can't match my OCD level...lol!!!
So, the most I achieved with my Daytona build is Gen Crystal+ Gasket, Clean Bezel, Gen Auto-winding module and Gen Bracelet Rest I have to rely on my Gen Daytonas.

WOW, amazing watch brother. How much did this project cost you? You think I can make a similar build, I am in my twenties, I earn ok but no that much, seeing this scared me a bit lol
