Noob v4 dial looks pretty horrible. Those subdial rings... No bueno.

I am sure that CF is updating the white dial 116500 first because it's their best seller.

How about the updated clean white dial? Is it good? i just uploaded the photos

The CF 116500 V2 is a definite improvement but the sub dials are still too big. Hopefully the crown issue (not the 3 dots) has been resolved as well.

I don’t see any change in the dial color

That is what I was thinking as well. And lighting plays such a role with color nuances. Would be nice to have more pics of the watch under different light sources.

Looks like some photo editing on that pic. The watch on the right has 3 different shades on the dial :)

Yeah we need a member with a v1 & v2 to take a couple of pics. Or ill do a comparison with my gen if i get one in my hand

that just looks like compression/artifacting to me. is that an actual photo from a seller or is it screenshotted from a video? would make even more sense if the latter were the case.


hopefully the 116520 subdials are next on their list to fix.

Looks like they fixed the crooked/whoopy 3-6-9 markers
Also, on V2 the crown looks slightly thinner, unless it's the lighting

I see this difference s
Update subdials

Update printing

Update dial crown(shorter head bigger lines), the thinner perhaps can be the lighting

Is it me or the crown looks better on the Noob? To my eyes, overall the Noob dial looks better. The color, the sub dials, the crown.

are you crazy brother? That's the completely wrong Noob horrible version with the ridiculous thin counters. The famous Noob / Zenit version :))))))

I've been called many things, but never crazy! :smile: That's my opinion anyway. I just don't like how the original CF dial looks in comparison. Whatever.

Have you received yet your BTF black dial 116500? Got mine this past Tuesday. Exceeded all my expectations. Gorgeous watch.

Maybe this has been discussed before but have you guys noticed the crown on the arf clasp? It's not as sunken as it is in noob clasps and it's sitting a bit more to the middle of the flip lock.
