+1 again...even the cf is not needed now as v4 have bright engraving,perfect for the price out of box if you get one with decent SELs

Of course on the wrist it is impossible to identify most flaws. But in comparison it becomes pretty obvious.
But if I look at the ROLEX Logo i can identify it for sure as fake. But only the Noob, not the ARF!
anyway I think you all got me wrong. I think there is a difference between “acceptable on the wrist” and “next to gen comparison”
my comments were referring to the second. it is a great watch if you consider the price difference - which let me think about why the gen should be worth the money.

I currently have couple of GEN 116500 bezel and dials.
I took a set out to compare it to the rep ones.
To my surprise the noob's bezel V4 (N) is closer to the genuine bezel (G) than the clean one (C).
Obviously the numerals of the genuine bezel are simply doing amazing in every light setting.
When it comes to the dial, the original dial is matte and doesn't shine as you know. On the noob one the coronet is a dead give away.
Idk but something is wrong with this clean bezel here
now when i recieved mine it looks much brighter compared to this one in every single light condition it js bright..even in almost full dark room the numbers are visible lol

Since I was not too happy with my V4 bezel I bought a CF bezel too. Here are some comparion pictures, it is actually quite hard to capture the difference. To me the Noob bezel is much darker than the CF.
I have read many conflicting opinions about it, it would be interesting to definitively understand which is the better of the two.
My stock V4 to be nice should be washed almost every day as it tends to darken with use.
I believe that the constructively engraved writings are not the best because they accumulate dirt inside but I don't think that the gen bezel should be washed so often, it would be a serious design flaw.
Thanks for sharing, it is me or the CF font a bit bolder than Noob's V4? My CF for some reason is much darker than my later V3 Bezel for some odd reason. I know there are different V3 bezel as I have 2 V3, the older one is definitely darker than the later.Since I was not too happy with my V4 bezel I bought a CF bezel too.

Sharing some photos of gen 116500s. Even on the gen, there is variation in the thickness of the 5 line text and color of the red daytona text (or maybe just due to lighting difference). Will also share some qc pics of 116500 v4 i recently ordered once received!

Yes bro this definetly QC game...some people say that v3 is brighter than CF but the CF is more durable,someone said opossite,someone say v4 is brighter and more genlike but it all depends on quality of bezel itself,you obviously got lateat batch which is very genlike like i got mine recently,it blowed me away when i saw it,it flashes on lights and in every single dark enviroment it is still bright... Also try to compare it side by side on same lightning because if you put it on top of noob it catches light better

BTW, they say that I can't refuse QC...
You can’t refuse QC on parts, I’m sure he explained that to you before you made the order

Didn't know he offers this service. How much are you paying for the bezel change?
