Daytona is the crowning jewel of the Noob factory and has earned its place as their flagship model. It has surpassed the popularity of their Submariner 116610LN and 116610LV. With the introduction of 904L stainless steel in the replica watch industry, the focus of every factory has shifted towards the development of replica Rolexes, particularly the production of Daytona. This has had a direct impact on the competitive relationship between Noob and ARF.
The case of this yellow gold Daytona measures 12.5mm in thickness, which closely matches the thickness of the original model. Noob has achieved this by incorporating 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 watch. The inner case is constructed from 904L stainless steel, while the outer yellow gold coating boasts a thickness of up to 5 mils.
The green dial is personally my favorite as it adds a versatile touch to the Daytona, making it suitable for both men and women. Each of the small dials on the watch functions flawlessly, with a distinctive red circle inside. The small second hand can be found on the subdial positioned at 6 o’clock, while the other two small dials are dedicated to displaying the minute and hour chronograph.To minimize the risk of potential issues, it is advisable to avoid excessive use of the chronograph buttons. This holds true for both the Noob and ARF Daytona models. By exercising caution and limited operation of these buttons, you can ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your timepiece.
However, it appears that the Super Clone 4130 movement developed by the Noob factory has a low repair rate. Recently, I had a client who ordered two Noob Daytona watches, and he informed me that both timepieces are functioning flawlessly. In my opinion, the Super Clone 4130 movement from Noob demonstrates greater stability compared to their 3135 movement.
The AR factory also manufactures the green Daytona, but in my opinion, there are some minor details such as dial printings, case engravings, and inner bezel engravings that are not as impressive as those found on the Noob version. However, it’s worth noting that the Noob Daytona comes with a significantly higher price tag, being $300 USD more expensive. Both Noob and ARF produce quality Daytonas, but if budget is not a constraint, opting for Noob would be a better decision.
