absolutely true. do we still not have a source for the original noob pushers? i tried a lot but no luck. i mean…someone must have provided noob with those fine pushers, a factory for them must be out there somewhere!

Got mine today, best Rolex I ever received.
Going to write a short teview about this masterpiece. Compare to CF, this is much much better. Sorry CF guys, but that is fact.

thanks for the pic! with the plastic still on, the lug / SEL recess (a key detail and - unfortunately - instant tell in my opinion) is not visible, can you also share a detail of it? if they nailed it…that would be freakin’ fantastic. maybe Bobi01 and Tobel can chime in, they know their lug / SELs!

Apsolutely great SEL- Lug fitment
huge sel gaps and bad lugs are history after cf-btf release
i am not sure if we are talking about the same thing, i am not talking about the gaps, but the recess in the curve between the lugs and the SELs. on my very early CF 116500 there was basically zero recess, it was flush. on the later released 116520, they jumped to too much recess (which you also stated in another thread and i think you were totally right!).
i just checked this pic on chazingtime and in my opinion, that is way too much recess. the gen is somewhere in the middle of early CF and this, don’t you think?

Believe me bro even first batch of cf is fine when you have it in hands or on the wrist because the end of the lugs are genlike and protrudes, so little less recess or more , there is no gaps and lugs protrudes like gen… both are much better then noob

the insert looks really nice BTF! I used the CF base, with clean insert ordered separately, satin buttons, changed crown. dial gen 116500 and crystal gen…I think I'll change the insert

johnny do you think base cf is better than bt ???
I don't know yet, I will get a BTF from a client for a job, I will compare the two watches. however from what I can see, the BTF dial (I'm referring to the black dial) seems like the right solution for those who want black ceramic.

clear, I am very undecided on which to take if black or white ... but I must say that this black looks really top, when instead on the white there is always some detail that is wrong let's say!

yes, the white of CF is really beautiful, the only flaw is the color that is too white, I compared it with a gen ... it seems that currently the best solution is DIAL ARF with clean indices, already mounted to a customer. I'm also waiting for a white BTF ... we'll see that it will be up to par!

hi johnny, first of all big props to you and your builds, i am wearing a 116520 white dial franken you built (m2m deal) as i am typing this.
anyways, my question - at the danger of embarassing myself - is: what do you mean by “satin buttons”?
We can get embarassed together but I think he meant pushers, he will correct me if im wrong
do you mean you install some sort of pushers - if yes, where do you source them?
or do you mean you are brushing a pusher that was already installed on the watch to make it look more gen?
