For mine, it looked faded to begin with - but only within certain circumstances, i.e. lighting. With direct, bright light either artificial or natural, the Noob bezel looks good and will replicate what is shown on lots of pictures on here, but that changes real quick when the lighting conditions change. Without the right light, for me, the watch looks somewhat lifeless and uninspiring and hence I've decided to opt for the CF bezel variant nonetheless.

The stark contrast created by the dial and subidals through the black ceramic and platinum-white inlays is what, again for me, creates the 'life' of the 116500 and so there's no other way but to go for CF.

Thanks for that feedback! So cf is the way to go

i think noob v3 is good enough if you wanna save the hassle and some money on other mods, but well shall see if it's gonna fade overtime. ultimately CF will be most suitable one.

Hey guys ... Do you know by chance if there is a tutorial on the internet explaining how to replace the ceramic bezel? ... Is the procedure the same as the traditional bezel? .. Thanks

Is it the angle of the shot or does the 3 marker seems misaligned? Please pardon my ignorance if its just the photo angle. :woo:

Ok ... Thanks a lot to all for the clarifications .. I decided to refuse Lucy's QC ... Waiting for a real V3 ....

Don't worry I also rejected Lucy's QC as it was also a V2 bezel. Still awaiting her response on the new V3 she requested..

Hi, i got my QC Pics today and i`m pretty sure, that the dial has the thicker subdials, also the Daytona writing is a little bit too orangy, i think it should be more red? Or is it the light?

I think the markers are ok and also the sel gap is ok for me.
Any opinions on the dial? Thank you

Another old V1-V2 Dial with a V3 Bevel.

Sadly Noob's quality continues to be inconsistent at best.

Looks ok, maybe just need to change the dial for ARF. Which TD did you order from?
