Before we delve into the details of this replica Rolex Daytona, let’s compare the Noob Daytona and the ARF Daytona. Both models are crafted with high quality and showcase top-notch watch-making technology available in the market. However, they have notable differences.Firstly, the best replica Rolex from Noob is the Daytona equipped with the Super Clone 4130, as other Rolex replicas from Noob cannot match the quality of those produced by the AR factory. The primary advantage for Noob lies in their Daytona model.Secondly, the AR factory produces the Daytona without a full chronograph function, whereas the Noob version includes this feature. However, having a full chronograph does not necessarily make the Noob Daytona superior or more reliable than the ARF Daytona. In fact, when it comes to the movement, I prefer the 4130 found in the ARF Daytona because it is slimmer and has a lower repair rate.
In conclusion, ARF successfully inherits the watch-making expertise of its parent company, J12. The case and bracelet feature a superior finish compared to those from Noob. I can confidently say that no other watch companies in the market offer a case finish that rivals what the AR factory achieves with their replica watches. The case is crafted from 904L stainless steel and is coated with 18K yellow gold, measured at a thickness of 5 mils. This replica is the latest V2 edition, and it is currently the newest version available; there are no V8 or V9 editions yet. Similarly, the Noob factory has not released V8 or V9 editions for the Daytona, so be cautious of other websites that claim to represent Noob factory.
The updated V2 edition features an improved bezel, with the engraving thickness now closer to that of the genuine Daytona. If you’ve previously purchased the V1 edition of the ARF Daytona, you can easily compare the two. Each corner of the case is finished smoothly, ensuring that you won’t experience any scratchy sensations while wearing the replica watch. Similar to the Noob Daytona, the ARF also engraves secret symbols on the back of each lug.
This Daytona offers both black and white dial options, and the dial has seen improvements in the V2 edition. Notably, the thickness of the minute scales has been corrected to be closer to that of the genuine model. The engravings on the inner bezel are now clearer and cleaner, with the spacing between each “ROLEX” word accurately represented. Overall, the dial is nearly perfect, aside from the non-functional minute chronograph counter and hour chronograph counter, as the hands on these two subdials are fixed. However, this isn’t a significant issue for me, as I don’t typically use the chronograph when wearing a Daytona. Additionally, frequent operation of the chronograph on a Noob Daytona can lead to technical problems.
Regarding the V2 Edition Rolex Daytona from the AR factory, if the highest rating is 10, I would give this watch a score of 9.5. I hope the AR factory can resolve the chronograph issue while still preserving the movement’s stability.
