Yeah, I am with you on this one. If I was to buy this piece I would most certainly go for noob as well.

If you do go for it,prepare to be underwhelmed when you open it:DIt feels like a toy,after a few days of  forgetting your wearing a watch but every now and then just catching a glimpse,you will love it.Mines keeping great time and the power reserve is brilliant.One thing I have noticed is I’m thinking the strap will be a pig to change as it has double spring bars on both sides.That should be a challenge.:D

That's what kept me away from carbon watches for quite a while - I like to feel I have smth on my wrist. On the other hand, I am a fan of how they look.

If it is about Daytona I will quite probably nail the steel version first, as I know for sure it will be a keeper for me. But in terms of carbon, I am quite in love with how the PAM1661 Luminor Marina Carbotech looks. Quite a unique looking piece with nicely presented layered carbon. I could try it out first before going for DiW.

I got this tool, and it does the trick fairly well. Certainly easier to work with double spring bars than using 2 separate straight tools, and you can regulate it to work on every watch.

Currently I'm only seeing new Daytonas posts with ceramic bezels. Will Noob comes out with steel bezel in V4 anytime soon?

Yes, but not until mid June.

Also, in the 3.16 at Ascot this afternoon, JeremyBeadleHands will win by six lengths when the favourite, JibsIsNoHolocaustDenier falls at the last.

DiW rolexes are pretty much custom made in very small quantities and price point starting from $55.000. They are so rare that we are extremely unlikely to actually be able to compare Noob with gen and see what the differences are.

On a bright side, they are so rare that nobody will be able to tell whether it's a gen DiW or not when you wear it. In fact, most of the people won't be even able to tell what the hell is it

100%  “tell” is the case back has Motley written on it,which would be ok if it was a Motley edition and not the carbon cream!

Yeah well... welcome to the club mate.
I wanted to start with 2 steel Daytonas and then probably grab this one at some point.

Now we just gotta wait.

The white DIW Carbon Daytona Panda is my current grail. Saw one get snapped up in M2M. Not many TD's seem to have them. Any help appreciated
