lillo Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 (edited) I love Noob Daytona, but the version that I prefer ( steel bezel) has not a good dial. Some people buy an ARF and use the ARF dial in Noob I have seen also gen dials, but thei have high price. But there is also an aftermarket white dial from watchesparts that has not a bad appareance. For example the crown is more realistic as Noob. To buy this dial costs less than buying an entire ARF Daytona ( $. 300) and it seems to me even sharper. But I' m not expert in Rlx dials, which you think about ? https://watchesparts.com/products/rolex-daytona-white-with-black-track-on-the-subsiaries-subsidiaries Edited October 19, 2019 by lillo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that , the noob Daytona whit steel bezel (116520) out of the box is good, because bezel, case, cristal ecc... are not bad. The major flaw is the dial. The noob + this dial it's almost a super rep. The small flaws are pratically invisible, if you dont observe it very closely What do you think about it ? In your opinion, there whould be other necessary changes and modify , beyond the dial ? Edited October 20, 2019 by lillo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mir36 Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 For the 116520 (steel bezel) shouldn’t the subdial tracks be silver? This one looks black. The XET spacing looks good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p0pperini Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 This is the first link I've ever seen posted to that watchparts.com site. The products look very good - to my amateur eye. I wonder why the site isn't referenced more often - is it just that my amateur eye is in need of further training..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The black dial of watchparts is good for 116520, but the white NO ! These is a dial for ceramic only ! I realized the error only after posting to the photo of the white dial instead of the black one, sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
