If the XF 111 is anything to go by, then this is going to be just fine.
Can't go too far wrong with either the Noob or XF versions.

will be good to see some macro's of the sausage lume structure to see if they have got it right or not. I have a gen dial for comparison. In the past it was the H-Fac dials that was the best rep dials for this.

Although Noob was extremely good in the past, the sausage lume application was wrong, slightly raised and not flat, worse than H-Fac.

I completely agree with superspark69 . If their dial is similar to the past XF 005 and 005, then this is a very good solution and I would prefer the XF over the noob. I hope they don't make it worse than they did.

I could be wrong, but should 005 have a hole for removing the bezel, or is it a shadow?
It seemed that it should be threaded, and this type of fastening was practiced only by HF

Ok, I'll be the dummy here...to my (very) untrained PAM eye, this looks the same as the 111 model. Are there differences I am not seeing?

Thanks. I did notice the logo, but not the non-sandwich dial. And I completely ignored the caseback. Guess I need to up my PAM game!

all 44mm luminor bezels should have a pry hole, none are screwed
