I have just received the new 520 bezel from
@xing_david and am very pleased with it. Thanks!
The engravings are nice and deep, "thick" and have a 3D effect. Unfortunately, the first order disappeared into nirvana on the way to Germany, which is why I had to order the bezel again (not seller’s fault).
Here are a few pics of the XING bezel compared with the current CF and one of the first CF version (not sure if V1, but these were the best back then).
Here in the picture:
Top left: XING
Bottom left: CF current batch (V3?), a little bit polished by me to get the 3D-effect since the stock ones have very plain/flat numbers
On the watch: CF, one of the first generation, not sure if V1, but it was the best and better than the current CF.
XING vs. CF early version on the watch
Current CF vs. CF early version on the watch
And here is an ARF bezel I received with one of the latest (and last?) ARF Daytonas:
My conclusion: They are all good and can definitely be used.
My ranking: XING>CF early version>CF current version/V3>ARF latest
