Would a phong 116520 "bakelite" bezel fit on a Noob 116500 V2?

[CarlosFFF]

As the title says, I want to outfit my Noob 116500 with one of the 16520/116520 bezels shown at the bottom of this URL:

Can anyone provide comments on the following:

1) Would the bezel fit?
2) While removing the ceramic bezel, is it likely the crystal would be removed with it? Similar to the issues with the TC Subs

Thanks!

The noob bezel assembly is the same as a gen 116520 so I would assume it fits. I would love to do the same but I find the one you linked expensive, any other alternative?

Great question! I've looked, and haven't found any sources. Ruby at rubyswatch.com has "bakelite" bezels for 62XX models, but not for the 116520.

CarlosFFF I also looked yesterday without success... Are you planning on buying it anyway ? The end result is faboulous

Well damn, that looks better than expected! Where'd you find that picture? i looked around for a picture with the bezel installed and couldn't find one, thanks for sharing that.

After seeing that, I might still pull the trigger. It's expensive though... and I just bought a 1675 rep from Yodog
