I also have a v8 batman which I purchased before getting the gen one. The difference in colors are obvious for the trained eye, but not for the average Joe.

I heard the bezel used to be better on the earlier versions.

Thanks for that link bro. Guess I'm on the ARF waiting list too. I thought I had seen some better Noobs on earlier versions but they're probably using the same batch inserts on all versions now.

I actually have another brand new blnr coming in V8 I will take photos of a new insert vs gen side by side. Ill update the other post when i do. Id expect early next week it should arrive.

Based on Longwood s pics, I think I might opt for a noob v8 LN until we see improvement in the insert, but Im eagerly anticipating his v8/gen comparo

I think it will be a long wait for ARF and also we don’t know how close to gen will be their bezel. I think noob and BP were better at “coloring” bezels
Noob hulk bezel is closer to gen than ARF.

It’s the wrong shade of blue, and the meeting point of colors engraving shows the crack where they meet.

Agree, here is a compare shot from RG. Guess which one is the gen.

Well you can see a line going through the middle of the 6 and 18 markers where the colour change is !

Damn I wish LocoLouise was still around and I wish he was reliable. He could nail this Batman insert!

i have his hulk insert and it’s closest to gen color wise out of all available hulks. It think it’s closer to gen than noob v9 insert.
im not sure how he made them but he nailed the color.
