Dial aftermarket for Noob Daytona


lillo

Recommended Posts

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  ?

DAYTONA font is better than noob but text still looks too light
 

The color and measure of the subdials , in my eyes, appears  correct, it is better than Noob and also than ARF I presume.The crown is good. 

 

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 ?

The Noob dial's defects are very noticeable, IMHO

ARF has done it pretty well, but I can't get one... it's so fkng frustrating because Noob knows the problems, and they just keep releaseing shinola

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..?

That dial is for an 116500

 

Yex exact.   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
