Beside the thickness (Noob a bit thicker than JF), The FONTS are indeed the exact same, correct? (I.e. Tails on Ones, etc)

It also seems NEITHER has the Old-Style Roo-like 4 (I.e. Like on Edgematic Datewheel for franken, correct?) Instead they all have pointed-top 4's...
Is ^^ that ^^ correct for FC Diver gens?

Did ANY FC Diver gens have that old style traditional non-pointed Roo 4? Thanks!!

The FC has both versions of the date wheels, very much like the SS version. So one shouldn't worry about the new or "old" style font in terms of accuracy.

honest, I think that looks better... but again lighting is better.

This is JF V5

Anyone try installing a profs x2AR xtal on their noob FC?

I'm trying to work out if it'll fit.

Profs says he hasn't tried to install his 42mm noob ROO xtal on a noob FC and therefore doesn't know if it'll fit.

Does anyone here know if 42mm noob ROO xtals are interchangable?

Isn't gen AP FC ROO having single AR xtal?

Yep - however, it's mostly a preference thing. Some people prefer 2xAR crystals to the stock rep crystals. The latest JF crystals are pretty much gen-standard at the moment IMO and don't really require 2xAR, however the latest noob crystals have been lacking, so it makes sense to go the 2xAR route for them.

That being said, could be wise to see how the new generation of noob AP's fare against JF (I believe we should be expecting some after the CNY break)

Hmm in what are Noob crystals exactly lacking? They seem enough clear for me, but I know that could be individual. Do crystals on Noob seem fake in person or in photos?

They are a little too cloudy to me, they are too reflective. 2xAR on the other hand is too anti-reflective and looks almost as if there is no crystal at all.

The New JF is just right. It doesn't reflect much light but at the same time has a nice shine to it like the gen.

I do love the look of 2xAR, but it had be a pain in the ass to maintain as the coating scratches quite easily.

Is there a specific way to maintain it, or is it simply a matter of not banging / scraping the crystal against things haha

Don't scratch nor rub the crystal. Or else, after a while, your double AR will be the biggest tell for your rep. :)

Noob with JF Xtal, buddy ;)

Nice. Did you use a JF SS diver xtal? I have a spare JF xtal lying around but read somewhere that JF and NOob xtals were not interchangeable?

Yes, they're interchangeable. Same dimensions
