I own both, and can tell you with certainty that the Clean bezel is better. Not ragging on Spongebob, but its more than just the fill of the indices that makes the Clean better IMHO. Everything about the Clean bezel is closer to gen and much crisper than anything else could be, given the technology at hand. To do what a Clean bezel does, you would have to first start with a blank ceramic bezel.

How is it better? Does CF bevel the indices?
The platinum fill also looks like ass on the clean
bezel.

I can speak from experience. Perhaps if you buy one for yourself, you might see the difference. Looking at something at 20x may not be telling you the whole story. Some cliche about forest and trees probably applies here.

I see. Well based on the macro shots of the CF daytona bezel it looks messy and I'm not impressed. Not sure what more you can point out...bezel colour maybe?

Today I had the chance to have in my hands both 116500 and 116519 from Noob.
I compared the bezel and they were different, the "UNITS PER HOUR" look larger on the 116519 for example...

Do you guys know if the bezel between the two models is the same? If yes, maybe emproved their bezel?

I add two pics:

Pop your bezel off (116500) and align it, looks like the guy who installed it turned up to work drunk :) . Can you post more pictures of the 116519

Very interesting to hear from an owner of both. Thanks for sharing.

I think the white Daytona is a V1. I have the V2 of both the white 116500 and the 116519 and the bezels are identical.
