Can someone do a comparison on the new CF 116520 SS bezel vs gen?

Will be getting it this week from him. Can’t wait!

Finally got my hands on one. I have to say the difference is very apparent and a definite upgrade for a fraction of the gen bezel’s price.
CF (unattached) vs the ARF bezel on my Noob V3.

Can someone with caliper and loose gen bezel check gen bezel's height? I do not have any loose gen bezels at hand and I wonder how tall this CF should be.

Ok, removed mine:

How does this compare to the CF ??

 

[Yellobird]

Well there is apparently two CF versions now, one was just released this week - the new one has deeper engravings and exactly same measurements as gen at 2.38 mm. The earlier CF is at 2.49 mm.

Rubberman can you confirm ?

Yea just got it. Deeper engravings, thinner profile, gloss ink.
TBH both are very nice, even though I don't have gen to compare haha!
The only thing I see is that the old one has better finishing. The new one is slightly coarse in finishing. Maybe the technicians rushing for the CNY break when they doing the polishing for the new

Awaiting mine right now, hope it is good. One kore thing is that the new version has a bevel on the outer edge of the bezel, my gen does not have it but it seems like most recent gen bezels or service bezels do have this too.

Could you kindly post couple of pictures of the same here please? We shall be able to see what have they done to the newer version of the Bezel. Thanks

Just realised there’s a dash missing on the CF compared to the gen. Is that a version/year difference?

Checked a ton of gen bezel pictures and no version of the bezel does not have a dash between the 120 and 130. Oh well, guess this bezel is going into the drawer.. What a pity and can’t believe we all missed it.

Unless someone can back it up with evidence otherwise. Haha.

Ya it is a flaw by the factory. Too close though

Scroll up to see the micro shots uploaded by me

I see a Noob v4 116520 mentioned, didn’t see those listed on Puretime. What is the consensus on the Noob v4 dial? Are the subdials too shiny compared to gen/arf?
Also the crystal gasket needs to be replaced by a gen spec gasket? Thanks for your feedback interested in buying a white and a black... a little less ostentatious than the ceramic 116500 Daytona in my opinion. I would absolutely do the cf bezel upgrade.
