I have been seeing a lot of "Noob case reshaped like Gen".
I don't get this. Does anyone have any before after pics to show how different they are. Or what part of the case I should focus on to notice the difference.

Thanks Micasol for the pics.
From what I can tell from the pics. The gen spec case has a slimmer side profile and slimmer lugs. Is this correct?

Also:
Are the Lugs supposed to be like this one thicker than the other?

Is one thicker than the other a feature on the Gen as well?

Ye, the Steel Daytonas have asymmetric case lugs:)

peterchao , I can only drool! What a collection. And that Red Devil! Just wow!
BTW, can you recommend an "18-k white gold bezel" rep that's closest to gen that fits the Noob 116520?
Gen 18k bezels are pricey. TIA!

Thanks man, Haven’t seen any good rep/aftermarket white gold bezel as of yet. Gen white/yellow gold bezels are indeed pricy but really shines its quality a lot better than ss lol.
