Hi all.
Getting married soon and was sure of one thing regarding to which to wear. It had to be a Daytona 116509.

White or Yellow gold was the big question though. So I bought the one I finally decided for. However, I bought a fake version of the one I left out.
For me it is difficult to see which one is fake. I can only feel it when I hold both in my hands, the genuine is 3 times as heavy. Guess the experts here can spot a difference within seconds :)

I obviously know which is fake and which is not. Looking at the dial very close I can spot one mistake, the Rolex logo is not 100% adjusted on the fake. Doesn't show too good on the images though.

Was not aware of the difference between the pushers. Can see it now though, but have to say that fakes are getting seriosuly identical nowadays.

The yellow gold one is completely wrong & very obvious. The SS blue dial is better

My Gen 116520 for your reference

Smaller pushers! Am I correct?

Some people have told me the 8 of the (80) is usually a dead giveaway, I couldn’t spot the difference, and I do have an eye for detail, Obviously not on watches as yet.

Just on the tach:

  • Look at where the triangles are pointing to the middle digits of 400/300/240/200.
  • The text on the YG is too thin.
  • The spacing of numbers like 80 and 90 is too wide.
  • The "UNITS PER HOUR" font is too tall/skinny.

Amazing! I have much to learn.
Thank you.

I always like the 116520, as I think that it is more classy than the 116500LN. I own both the gen black and white ceramic Daytonas. They are for collection and never worn except for pictures. If I can choose to own a daytona for wearing it will be what you own. Excellent choice! :)

Thx bro!

Both your 116500 are Noob A4130 right? They are great look but in my personal perspective the ceramic bezel is not match with whole design especially on black dial. White dial is still good as the dial design is classic 16520 zenith @9sec model. Actually, I’m still wait my dream model 116509 Grey dial with red hands release. But I believe I still have to wait at least 1-2 years before noob going to release it as it’s a 2006 model……

On bright side the A4130 movement exclusive for noob should end after a year (just like the @12sec movement) then JF/ARF able to produce much better version; Noob own most of the top of the line technique; however they always fail on detail, QC & some basic requirement(i.e compare ALL the printing of ceramic bezel on Noob VS JF/ARF; Noob printing are very disgusting.).…Therefore I still hold up to get one of the 116520 white dial until they fix several minor flaw but something they are 200% capable to provide.

Both my 116500LN are gens. Why Noob A4130? Besides you, some of us can afford gens too ;)

No need to be some complicate; only take a glance on Chrono button & I will know it’s Gen or rep except the latest Noob A4130 Daytona.

Sorry bro! Please accept my sincere apology for my ignorant. I don’t mean to offend………just overlook the content you already mentioned they are Gen.

I was not offended mate. But for the sake of comparison, I think we need to state the model and make of what we are posting clearly, so as to avoid confusing others. 

For a model like the daytona, I will not buy the rep, as either one detail or the other will be, to me, egregiously off. 

I do agree that the A4130 clone movement seems to be a big leap forward, but long term reliability and timekeeping remains issues which could surface.

Also, just FYI, the pusher profiles can be modded to be more gen like. I will attach a pic of what I mean: this is a rep with modded pusher profiles. d74588a83739ddeeaae570e3ca36915f.jpg
