Daytona has become the pride of the Noob factory and is now their flagship model, surpassing the popularity of their Submariner 116610LN and 116610LV. With the introduction of 904L stainless steel in the replica watches industry, the focus of every factory has shifted towards the development of replica Rolex watches, particularly the production of the Daytona model. This development directly impacts the competitive relationship between Noob and ARF.
In my previous post, I mentioned that Noob was preparing to release two yellow gold Daytona watches. I’m excited to share that both watches are now available. In this review, I will focus on the yellow gold Daytona with a green dial.The case thickness of this yellow gold Daytona is 12.5mm, which closely resembles the thickness of the original model. Noob has achieved this by utilizing their newly developed 4130 movement, which not only reduces the overall case thickness but also enables the movement to replicate all the functions of the original. The inner case is made of 904L stainless steel, while the outer coating of yellow gold is an impressive 5 mils thick.
The green dial is my personal favorite as it adds a touch of versatility to the Daytona, making it suitable for both men and women. Each of the small dials on the perfect replica watch functions flawlessly, with the addition of a red circle inside each one. The subdial located at 6 o’clock displays the small second hand, while the other two small dials are dedicated to minute and hour chronograph display.To minimize the risk of potential malfunctions, it is advisable not to excessively utilize the chronograph buttons. This recommendation holds true for both the Daytona watches from Noob and ARF.
Interestingly, it appears that the Super Clone 4130 movement developed by the Noob factory has a low repair rate. One of my clients recently ordered two Noob Daytona watches, and he informed me that both timepieces are functioning exceptionally well. In my opinion, this Super Clone 4130 movement from Noob demonstrates greater stability compared to their 3135 movement.
The AR factory also produces the green Daytona model; however, I have noticed that certain minute details such as dial printings, case engravings, and inner bezel engravings are not as refined as those found in the Noob version. It is worth mentioning that the Noob Daytona comes with a significantly higher price tag, costing even $300 USD more. Both the Noob and ARF Daytonas are of good quality, but if budget is not a constraint, opting for Noob would be a better decision.
