When some one asked me which one to buy as their first replica, now I will always recommend the Daytona from Noob, especially the Panda Daytona, it is very popular, even I think this Daytona is the best replica watch in our market, maybe some people do not agree, they think that the Portuguese 7 Days from ZF is better, yes, it is too hard to compare them especially both are very good. Noob Daytona is the only one Rolex watch I sold to my clients but never had problems, no clients sent the Daytona back to me for repairing, this is really good, because even the latest Submariner V10 from Noob will have some tiny issues sometimes. Today, I will give a short introduction of another good-looking Daytona watch which Noob just published, it is a golden watch with rubber band.
This Daytona is the latest V3 edition from Noob factory, made with 904L stainless steel and uses a Super Clone 4130 movement like other Daytona models of Noob. Among all Daytonas from Noob, most popular ones are those stainless steel models with steel bracelet, the one with rubber strap, in my memory, it is the Daytona with grey dial. Now, another Daytona model with black rubber strap is published, hope this one can attract your attention.
The case is only 12.5mm thick, very close to the thickness of genuine Daytona. The inner material is real 904L stainless steel, while outside has yellow gold plated, compared with the rose gold coating, yellow gold tone is not easy to fade, however, the gold coating on every golden replica watches is not very thick, so, sometimes I do not suggest people buy golden watches unless they really have to, when the gold color fades, the watch will look ugly.
Black dial looks ok for me, but the three golden subdials are too shiny, the black, red and golden color match perfectly, well, the black small hands on three subdials seem to be polished, I do not like this style. On Noob Daytona, about the circles on the three subdials, many complaints about it, every time the batch came out from the factory, the size of the three circles seems to be different, on last batch of Panda Daytona, the circle is too thin. Well, on this golden Daytona, I did not compare it with genuine, it seem to be ok for me.
The movement inside is a Super Clone 4130, different from clone 4130 movements from other factories like AR, JH and TW. Noob’s 4130 is the best one in our market, it is not based on A7750 but developed by Noob themselves, which means every part of the movement is produced in factory and assembled by watch masters according to genuine Rolex 4130. Now, this movement seems to be very reliable, no issues have been founded since its release.
At last, I want to show you the top three best-selling Daytona watches from Noob, the first is 116500 Panda Daytona, the second is 116500 ceramic with black dial, the third is 116519 ceramic grey with black rubber. Check photos below.
GMT-Master is really attractive to men, some people will consider a GMT Master watch when they are going to buy their first Rolex, I also like Rolex GMT-Master, its unique bezel design attracts me so much, if I do not have an IWC Portuguese, then Rolex GMT-Master II will be my most favorite. GMT-Master is not like Datejust or Day-Date that look so “Rolex”, it has its own sports elements that could also be found on some other brand watches, maybe this is the reason I love GMT-Master. In our market, many factories make the replicas of Rolex GMT-Master II, the earliest BP, now VR and AR, which version is the best? That depends on your budget, if you only have less than 300 USD, the best option for you is those ones from small factories. If you have enough budget, then I only recommend Noob. It is the only version that has closest dial details, and also makes correct functions with real time and date adjusting.
This GMT-Master II with black/blue bezel is very popular, especially when Noob just published it, at that time, it is the one with Oyster bracelet, now the new model comes with a Jubilee bracelet, and there is a small Rolex crown logo printed at 6 o’clock, between “SWISS MADE”. In my previous posts, I told you guys not to choose a GMT-Master if you are going to buy your first replica Rolex, and I recommended Noob Submariner or Daytona first. Today, this is also the truth, Submariner and Daytona from Noob are much more stable than their GMT-Master. Even this 126710BLNR replica has A3285 movement that could realize all functions of gen, I still do not suggest you guys buy it, unless you are very crazy about Rolex GMT-Master and are collectiong them.
I did not mean it is not a good replica, it is very good, in high quality, and I also believe that other factories can not reach its level. The watch must be in the top ten list of replica Rolex, there is no doubt about this. If you are a loyal fan of Rolex GMT-Master II, buy one from Noob, you will see its amazing quality, absolutely to guarantee no issues, I will test your watch for several days before shipping, my clients before bought Noob Daytona from me and never had issues, so, Daytona will be the first watch I recommend if you want a replica Rolex, this GMT-Master II is worth buying, its quality is the same as Daytona, maybe looks more advanced than Daytona, to guarantee no issues after my clients receiving, I will test their GMT-Master for a few days, adjust them and wear.
The replica is very expensive, but tens of dollars cheaper than Noob Daytona, almost one hundred dollars expensive than Noob Submariner. With the Jubilee bracelet, there is another GMT-Master II model, it is 126710 Pepsi, with blue/red ceramic bezel. Each of these GMT-Master II watches with this Jubilee bracelet is sold at a very high price, maybe due to the new clone 3285 movement, I think Noob will lower their prices in future, but seems not possible in a short period.
Now, we know that the best sellers from Noob are Submariner and Daytona, they are made with best material 904L stainless steel and equipped with the best clone movements, now Submariner and Daytona have even become the flagship models of Noob. When picking up your first replica watch, maybe most people will consider to buy a Rolex, while Submariner or Daytona will become their first choice.
Many people asked me my list of top quality replicas through email, I will recommend Submariner and Daytona to them, they are also very satisfied with the quality once receive the watch. Now, the latest version of Noob Submariner has come to V10, Daytona has come to V3. Although the quality is very good, not all people can afford it due to their higher price than other replicas. So, today, I want to introduce some good quality Submariner replicas at reasonable prices, they are also from Noob factory, in recent months, Noob offers special prices on these V8 editions of Submariner models, including 116610LN, 116610LV and 114060 No Date.
These Submariner watches are highly recommended to people who do not have enough budget while still wanting a good quality Rolex replica watch, although they are made with 316L stainless steel, they are really in top quality, while I think there are not too much difference between the V8 and V10, maybe the biggest two differences lie in the case material and movement. Yes, I admit that the Super Clone 3135 movement used on V10 has been too perfect, but the 3135 movement on V8 is also good, and Noob factory exactly offers special prices on the following Submariners with A2836 and A3135 movement. By the way, each of these V8 Submariners with A2836 is sold at less than 300 USD, while the Submariner with A3135 movement is less than 350 USD. Please contact me if you are interested in any one of them.
Now, the coronavirus is getting more and more severe in Europe and USA, however, there are good news during this special time, that is all watch factories are working normally and they are developing new models, shipping service from DHL is also normal, to USA and most European countries, delivery time will be 3 to 5 working days.
Last week, Noob brought us a good news, they published four new watches, which are golden/steel Daytona 116523. As we know, the ceramic Daytona 116500 is one of the best sellers in the past 2019, among these four new Daytona models, I think the one with black dial will become another best seller of Noob, after all, many people asked me about this two tone Daytona before, a lot of readers have shown their interest in this Daytona, but unfortunately, only JH factory has this model before, but JH makes it with 316L stainless steel material.
The Daytona 116523 replica with black dial looks good, it is very attractive to me at least. The yellow gold coating on the case and bracelet is passable, perhaps not as good as the gold-coating work from CR or VR factory, but absolutely much better than those small factories. By the way, it is a truth that the rose gold coating on Noob watches could easily fade, but the yellow gold will not, I do not know why. Some clients always asked me where to get the best golden replica watches, actually CR(长荣) is the earliest watch manufacturer to make good quality golden watches, I also usually recommend this factory to my clients, but if you want to buy a Noob Daytona with very thick gold coating just like CR Rolex, this is impossible.
After two or three years, the golden color of your Daytona fades, if you really cares about this, please take the bracelet off, ship the case and bracelet in two separate package to me, I can find a store in our watch market to do gold re-plated for your Daytona.
By the way, this golden Daytona replica is equipped with a Super Clone 4130 movement, which is the best 4130 movement in replica watch market, among all Daytona models appeared in our market, no ones use better movement than Noob Daytona, unless you are able to get a real Rolex 4130 movement. A lot of clients have bought Noob’s Daytona products from me, until now, no one has complaints.
By the way, just another good news coming from our market, a factory will publish the replica watch of the following Omega soon, let’s expect. It is from VS factory.
Top 10 Best Selling Replica Watches in 201It is the end of 2019, now time to make a summary of this year. The growth of replica watch industry in 2019 is rapid, watch manufacturers in our market also introduced a lot of good quality replica watches, it is an amazing year. Noob, AR, GM and other factories published a lot of replica watches with superior quality in 2019, this was unimaginable in the past, now it is happening. In return for loyal readers of my blog, today I will post an article to introduce the best-selling replica watches in 2019, I choosed ten watches to describe in this article, actually, you know, there are certainly more than ten, and some other watches are even sold better than these ten pieces, however, the ten watches in this article must be the ones that receive most attention. Here they come below.
1.Noob Daytona with Super Clone 4130
Daytona must be Noob’s hero product in 2019. In the first half of 2019, Noob gradually lost their advantage when facing AR factory because AR firstly used 904L stainless steel in their replica Rolex watches. However, in the second half of 2019, with the release of their Daytona products made with 904L stainless steel, Noob began to get competitive advantages again. So, I must say Daytona is the hero product of Noob in this year. Noob made improvement on their Daytona three times in this year, the latest version until now is V3, several clients who bought Noob Daytona are all satisfied with the quality.
2. ARF Submariner
Why do I recommend Submariner from AR factory in the second position? Maybe a lot of people do not agree with me, they think the Rolex Submariner of Noob should be in this position or even in the first position. I do not think so. Take Submariner 116610LN or 116610LV for example, Noob has improved both models for several times, now the version is updated to V10, they have also been proven to be very perfect, however, I do not think the Submariner from Noob can be compared with the one from AR factory, at least in case and bracelet finish, as well as bezel construction, the Submariner from AR factory is better. Now, AR factory has updated their 116610LN and 116610LV to V3 edition, they also offer 3135 movement option like Noob.
3. PPF Nautilus
Actually I feel very struggled to put the PPF Nautilus in this position, because the Nautilus from MKS and PF is also very good. But in the second half of 2019, when people talking about Nautilus, it is all about PPF. Among all Nautilus models PPF made, the best-selling must be the one with “blue/gray” dial. Please see photos below, the dial is actually blue, but it also looks a bit gray. Actually before PPF, the best-selling Nautilus is coming from MKS and PF, however, among those three watch manufacturers, PPF is the only one that makes the correct blue dial of Nautilus, plus the high demand of Patek Philippe Nautilus in genuine watch industry, so I think this is a reasonable position for PPF Nautilus.
4. JF Royal Oak 15400
Royal Oak is the bracelet-style jewelry for men, and 15400 is the most popular model. If you do not like Rolex, then a Royal Oak 15400 is a must-have bracelet timepiece for a man. Among various manufacturers, I still think JF makes the best replica of Royal Oak 15400, even ZF made the same watch in recent days, it still can not be comapred with the one made by JF. Well, this timepiece has a Miyota based movement that has a noisy auto rotor, this is the only issue with the watch, but I do not see it is a big problem for this watch, Miyota movement has a high stability and accuracy, now many replica watches are using this movement.
5. Noob GMT-Master II 116710BLNR
This GMT-Master II Rolex watch from Noob is very controversial, well, I have to admit that many customers will consider 116710BLNR when they want to buy a replica Rolex, and this watch occupies a large amount of sale among all Rolex replicas produced by Noob. So, this is the main reason why I put this GMT-Master II in the fifth position. This watch is equipped with a clone 3186 movement, which offers the same time, date and gmt setting as genuine watch, this is what most customers care about on a replica Rolex GMT-Master II, while Noob factory makes it correct. However, GMT-Master II is also the replica Rolex which I do not recommend to my clients, because the clone 3186 movement from Noob currently has a high repairing rate. Hope Noob will improve the stability of this movement in the future. If the movement becomes better and more stable, the watch will be the most sought after product in our market.
6. GF Avenger BlackBird
It is the best-selling Breitling watch in this year. GF has updated it to V4 version, for this Breitling watch, before I wrote a dedicated post to introduce it, you can read the review here. GF makes this replica with A2824 movement, absolutely you can buy one with real Swiss ETA 2824 from another factory. However, the quality from GF is the best, in my opinion. For people who love cool black watch, I recommend Avenger BlackBird, the watch comes with one black rubber strap, which feels very comfortable to wear, the big-size crown is also more convenient for you to rotate, although it uses an A2824 movement, the watch still has a high stability.
7. V6 Ballon Bleu
In this top ten list, Cartier Ballon Bleu is the only one with round case, a lot of men are not willing to buy a Ballon Bleu wrist watch, maybe you guys do not think it deserves this position, however, I need to put it in this position, because Cartier Ballon Bleu is one of the wrist watches which are women’s favorite, and it accounts for a large share in women’s watches sales, so I think there should be a position for Ballon Bleu in this list. Besides, whether it is in 28mm, 33mm, 36mm or 42mm, Ballon Bleu can be equipped with a real Swiss movement. For example, if it is a Ballon Bleu in 28mm, then it has a Swiss quartz movement option, a 33mm or 36mm Ballon Bleu can be equipped with real Swiss ETA 2671 movement, this is the movement advantage of Cartier Ballon Bleu, but you can not find this advantage in other popular brands like IWC, Panerai, etc.
8. VSF PAM 441
Panerai is one of the best-selling brands in our market, so I need to leave a position for it, while it is a truth that Panerai has a lot of models selling very well online, PAM 111, PAM 127, PAM 438, PAM 441, PAM 382, etc., these are all best sellers in Panerai collection, but there is only one position, I left it for PAM 441. A lot of people think that PAM 438 deserves this position more than PAM 441, actually both PAM 438 and 441 are the best-selling ceramic Panerai watches in our market, both watches are ceramic, PAM 438 has a ceramic band, while PAM 441 has a brown ASSO leather strap, in my opinion, the leather band can be more accepted by the public. By the way, PAM 441 from VS factory is equipped with a Super Clone P.9001 movement, which has balance wheel in correct position at 7:00 and offers genuine movement time setting.
9. ZF Big Pilot Le Petit Prince
ZF has made a lot of popular models, especially in IWC area, the Portuguese 7 Days and Big Pilot made by ZF have a high quality, which has been recognized by many buyers. Too many good IWC models and I do not know which one should be ranked in this position, so here I choose the one which my blog readers mostly asked about, it is Big Pilot Le Petit Prince, reference IW500908, with blue dial. The latest version of this replica from ZF is V2, there are four places which men like on this watch, big size, charming blue dial, solid case back and real power reserve display, plus advanced watch-making technology, ZF makes it to be a very good replica, one of the must-have models for IWC watch fans.
10. VSF Planet Ocean Deep Black
I almost forgot Omega, now until the last one, I remembered Omega should have a position in this top ten list. If you need an Omega watch, the only factory I suggest you buying from is VS, whether the Omega watch is Aqua Terra, De Ville or Planet Ocean, VS makes the best replicas of them. Too many replica Omega watches in good quality from VS factory, but there is only one position left, so I give it to this Planet Ocean Deep Black. Maybe a lot of other Seamaster watches with more common outlook are sold better than this Deep Black Planet Ocean, but this is a new face we saw in Planet Ocean collection in 2019, very rare ceramic case and dial, you will immediately recognize it among various Planet Ocean models, the replica is equipped with a clone 8906 movement, which features a black balance wheel like genuine, the rubber band is also in black, which is in line with the black color theme of the entire watch.
Except the ten watches above, there are many other replica watches that are sold very well, for example, Rolex Submariner No Date 114060, Datejust from ARF, Sea-Dweller Single Red 126600, Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve from ZF, Royal Oak Diver 15703 from JF, Patek Philippe Aquanaut from ZF, etc., overall, 2019 is a big year for replica watches industry, and I think there will be more good quality replica watches published in future.
About one month ago, Noob published their V10 edition of replica Rolex Submariner 116610LN and 116610LV, many clents of mine ordered the V10 Submariner 116610LN once it was introduced to the public, and the watch indeed has a very high quality and I have already received lots of good feedback. In Rolex area, Noob and AR are the two main leaders, other factories are not worth mentioning, the two watch manufacturers are also competing with each other, this directly promotes the development of watchmaking technology in fake watch industry, just several days ago, AR factory published their V3 edition of replica Submariner 116610LN and 116610LV. Please check their photos and videos below.
When facing so good quality Submariner replica watches from AR and Noob, some potential buyers are confused and do not know which one to choose, AR Sub or Noob Sub? Once there was a time, I always thought that the Submariner made by Noob is the best, when AR factory published their first replica of Submariner, I started to realize that this is wrong, after being compared, their quality is very close.
About Submariner, the biggest difference between Noob and AR, I think it is Noob offers a 3135 movement option. If you want a replica 116610LN or 116610LV with a 3135 movement, then buy Noob V10. AR only offers a A2824 movement for their V3 Submariner.
However, the V3 Submariner from AR factory has some advantages which Noob V10 can not be compared with, the most important feature is the feeling when you first get it on hand, this is very important, because AR factory uses imported 904L stainless steel material and does a high quality process on the case and bracelet on their V3 Submariner, so it will give you a more authentic feeling when you get a V3 AR Submairner in hand for the first time.
I don’t have to say again how good the finish of case and bracelet on AR Submariner, even Noob has does a good job, but they still can not keep up. Besides, AR also makes the first Submariner in the market that uses the same bezel construction as that of genuine Rolex Submariner. On this V3 Submariner, I think AR made two big improvements.
First, the Rolex Crown on the buckle is carved to be the same size as that of genuine Submariner, it looks more three-dimensional now. Besides, the spacing between it and the notch is correct, very easy to open. It is said that the clicking sound when you open the Rolex Crown is also made to be the same as genuine, this is incredible.
Second, the cyclops is updated to be very clear and with light blue reflection, you can see the “black hole” effect when there is reflection.
Actually there are many other subtle details that have been improved on this V3 Submariner, on the bezel, dial, clasp and every thing. If you have decided to buy a Submariner, please consider the following two from AR factory. By the way, Noob’s after-sale service is very bad, once you return your broken watch to Noob factory, you need to wait for nearly two months for them to fix it. So, after considering watch quality and after-sale service, I recommend V3 Submariner from AR factory.
Nowadays, more and more watch manufacturers started to produce replica Rolex watches, Noob is one of the earliest factories that made replica watches, while in recent years, GM, AR, EW and other factories also entered this field. Among these manufacturers, I think that only AR and GM have the ability to challenge the dominance of Noob, the truth is these two factires never disappont us, they are getting bigger and gathering more fans at home and abroad. Now, although Noob factory has a slower response to the market and does not unveil new models that quick like before, they are still the No. 1 factory in our market that makes the best replica Rolex. Today, I will share three new YachtMaster 116622 models they just published. Three watches are with stainless steel case and bezel, one is blue dial, the other two with grey dial.
It is the first time for Noob to make YachtMaster replica with 904L stainless steel, but this time, the movement installed in these three pieces is a clone 2824 movement, while several days ago, GM factory published the YachtMaster models with clone 3235 movement, it is a bit disappointing for us that Noob did not install a 3235 mechanism in them, but I think a 2824 machine is already enough.
Among the three watches, I like the one that features grey dial with light blue second hand. The YachtMaster is 40mm in case diameter, not too big, it is only 12.5mm thick, the watch is not only suitable for men, but also a very good timepiece for most women. The bezel is 1:1 replicated from original watch, it is bi-directional rotating, the raised markers are polished, which are contrasting with the micro-sanded bezel face. Look at the crown guards, Noob did a high quality polishing work, they are round and feel very smooth.
The dial is grey, but it has a different finish with another grey YachtMaster shown below. This grey dial has a sunray texture on the surface, the other one is micro-sanded. Look at the engraved crown logo at 12 o’clock on the inner bezel, it is just in the middle position of the triangle marker. Hands and hour markers are applied with white luminescence that will emit blue light in dark conditions.
Like the case, the bracelet is also made with 904L stainless steel, the finish is also superior. The three-link bracelet is polished on the middles, while brushed on two-side links, the contrasting effect is strong. Behind the case back, it is a clone ETA 2824 automatic movement, which is 25 jeweled and beats 28800 times per hour. Please be noted, all clone ETA movements used by replica watches do not have the same days of power reserve as genuine watch, so you need to wind it every day, especially before going to bed. The following are photos and videos of these three Yacht-Master watches.
One week ago, Noob published the V3 edition of their Super Clone Daytona, including 116500 Ceramic Black Dial and 116500 Ceramic White Dial. After the release of this V3 edition, the Daytona from Noob factory now has become a perfection. Since the usage of 904L stainless steel and development of Super Clone 4130 movement, Daytona has become the star product of Noob factory, now this perfect V3 edition is published, more and more people rush to buy it. However, are you buying the correct V3 Daytona from Noob? I mean, do you know the difference between V2 and V3? If you do not know the difference, please read this post carefully.
First, not all Daytona watches from Noob have been improved to V3 edition, as far as I know, all 116500 shipped out from the factory now have been updated to V3, but among other models such as grey ceramic and golden ones, there are also V2 edition mixed. Second, if you want to buy the right V3 edition, your watch supplier needs to know the difference, then he can pick up the right version for you, this is very important. So, here I list some important features of V3 Daytona below, after reading it, you can identify whether your Daytona is V3 or V2.
The numberals on bezel of V2 is a little white. While V3 is closer to genuine, the bezel markers are silver grey, which will not fade.
Check the letters “S” and “R” on the bezel, they are different on V2 and V3, while they look more real on V3.
The numerals on bezel of V2 is a little thick, while V3 makes them correct, in right thickness.
Check the numeral “60” on the bezel, V2’s is a bit skew.
The three small dials are also improved on V3, they look more full, the circles are not that thin on V2, besides, the color of these small dials look closer to genuine.
These five points are main difference between V2 and V3, as we can see, too much improvement has been made on the bezel, one of clients who bought the V2 edition before and said they can not find the difference with genuine, now about this V3, I believe it can satisfy everyone.
The biggest news at the beginning of October is that Noob has published their V10 Submariner, including 116610LN and 116610LV, two models are the most popular Submariner in our market. Upon V9, Noob updated a lot on this new V10 edition. I did not realize that Noob will publish the V10 edition so fast, I thought they will publish it in next years. Maybe they have already felt strong competitiveness from AR factory, if still can not bring us some big surprises, they will be completely defeated.
Back to the V10 Submariner 116610LN and 116610LV. The biggest change is made on the bezel, which Noob factory claims that is could be interchanged with the bezel of genuine Submariner. The engraved depth of the bezel markers are the same as that of genuine Submariner, besides, the Platinum tone of the bezel markers will not fade as time goes by.
About the movement, Noob offers two options, one is an Asia ETA 2836, the other is a Super Clone 3135. The latter one has the same time and date adjustment as genuine Rolex 3135 Calibre. Both have a high quality.
Please read the following specification to know both watches better, and check a lot of photos below.
Movement: Super Asia 3135/Asia ETA 2836 Automatic
Case: 40mm*13mm, Solid 904L Stainless Steel
Bezel: Uni-directional Rotating Black Ceramic, Anti-clockwise
Crystal: Sapphire with Etched Crown Logo at 6 o’clock
Dial: Black with Superlume on Hour Markers and Hands
Bracelet: Solid 904L Stainless Steel with Deployant Clasp
Water Resistant: 30m
When talking about Daytona, you guys must know Noob and AR factory, the two factories almost occupy all market share of Daytona, I also introduced Daytona watches from them before, they are really good timepieces that can even be compared with genuine. When need a Daytona, you have two choices, purchase from Noob or AR factory? Sometimes it is hard to make such a decision, today, I am willing to help you to make a right choice. After National Day holiday, I write this guide will help you pick a better Daytona replica watch between Noob and AR factory.
Both Noob and AR factory almost have the same collection of Daytona models, here I will take Daytona 116500 for example, currently it is the most popular Daytona replica watch, every body wants to own one.
Case
Both Noob and AR factory are good. Some people said that the quality of 904L stainless steel used on ARF Daytona is better than that of Noob Daytona, this is not true, I think the quality of their 904L stainless steel material is the same. In earlier editions of Noob Daytona, the quality of 904L stainless steel is indeed not as good as that of ARF Daytona, but in the latest V3 edition which Noob factory just pulished, the quality is good, just the same as genuine. AR factory has always been proud of their case finish, but in the V3 Daytona from Noob, the case finish has reached the level of ARF Daytona. By the way, the case thickness of Daytona from Noob is more accurate, it is 12.5mm, genuine watch is 12.3mm, while ARF Daytona is 13mm.
Bezel
I vote for AR factory. Actually both factories have flaws on the ceramic bezel. First, Noob makes the bezel markers in correct thickness, while they are a little thick on the bezel of ARF Daytona. Second, on some markers of Noob, the coating will fade, but this will not happen on ARF Daytona.
Dial
Noob is better. In my previous posts, I said more than once that replica watches made by Noob are famous for their exquisite dial details, so are Noob Daytonas. On the dial of ARF Daytona, there is a big flaw, that’s the small dials at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock, they have no function, which means the small hands in the two subdials are fixed, they do not move, even you start the chronograph, only the central seconds-chronograph hand works.
Bracelet
ARF Daytona is better. Both use 904L stainless steel, but AR factory has a better finish, especially the polishing on the corners, you can feel by your hands, the ARF Daytona is much better. AR factory has always focused on the polishing work of the case and bracelet, if you care the texture of bracelet too much, then it is a right choice to choose a Daytona from AR factory.
Movement
I vote for Noob. Both factories use 4130 movement, some people said that ARF 4130 is more stable, that’s not true now. I have two clients who bought Daytona watches from Noob in last year, now their watches still work well, very accurate. Noob 4130 movement has a full functional chronograph, while ARF Daytona does not have. About 4130 movement from both factories, if you do not use the chronograph too often, then the movement should be very stable.
Conclusion
About the replica of Daytona 116500, as there is the newest V3 edition, and Noob has made a lot of effort in improving the case finish and movement stability, now is is really better than ARF 116500, also the price is also much higher.
