The Ultimate Daytona Buying Guide (Ref. 116520/116500)

These are my QC pictures for my Daytona ARF V2. Updated.
Looking for a noob case back, remove the deco and add a 7750 rotor to get gen thickness. Any help with the noob case back?

Any help with the noob case back?

I too am looking for one, but my TDs weren't able to source one for me. Any suggestions on where to look? Stuff on M2M sell faster than I can read

Just wondered whether anyone has found the Noob pushers sloppy when unscrewed?

The ARF ones have a nicer, more solid feel when unscrewed.

Can the ARF pushers be swapped to the Noob case?

Just at the point where I'm waiting for everything to arrive, got a CF Bezel and Gen Crystal incoming and the ARF and Noob are sat waiting to go off for the build.

Hello there,

This will be my first ARF Daytona 116520 watch, could someone look to the bezel/dial to check if everything is fine. Due to my eye infection I got since 2 days, and I have no people arround me who can check this detailed.

Thank you very much already!

Stay healthy everyone and have a blessed day.

Kind regards,

Jones

So with an eye infection you can see to type a message but not well enough to check your QC pictures.

My understanding of forum rules on posting QC pictures is that you’re not supposed to post them, unless there is a specific issue that you would like the forums opinion on and not for validation of whether the Watch is acceptable or not.

Hey everyone, hope you all are safe and healthy. Not to make this thread a QC thread, but I just received this QC pic (it is a Noob v3), and it looks like the subdials are narrow again. What do you guys think?

 

[mistermagoo]

People have been posting QC pics of similar sub-dials in the other Daytona thread.

Yes, unfortunately those are the skinny subdials. 1 easy way to tell is to compare the gap between each pair of adjacent subdials with the thickness of the subdials. If the gap is bigger, subdials are skinny like those in your photo

This is my v3....is different

Hey buddy, I’ve noticed you replying in French in a couple of threads now. Could you use English in the general forums please, like everyone else does - regardless of their nationality. Cheers.

Have u received this watch? If so could you please tell me if ARF has lengthened the pushers? I have an early release ARF V2 and it has short pushers.

Amazing post i keep coming back to this atleast once a week lol. Im currently on a franken/super franken 116520 build. Took alot of advice from your post.

Noob 4130 base
Gen bezel
Gen dial 'APH'
Gen hands
Gen sapphire and gasket (ready to order)
ARF bracelet
Gen 704 crown (ready to order)

Polishing, thinning and reshaping along with a service and i think i have a great piece. Unsure what to do with clasp though. Dont think my gen additions will end there, expensive hobby this lol
