Aren't the black dials now suffering from the thin subdial problem too? I've seen a few qc pics that look like they do. Or is it hit-and-miss?

Too thin, No... Still too Shinny compared to a Gen , Yes.

only the first batch V3 came out with the correct counters. I don't understand why Noob is constantly changing dials making the situation worse

Couldn't be happier with one of the greatest reps ever to be created. The Noob V3 is worth owning just for the achievement of cloning the 4130 perfectly. Smoothest movement and watch OOTB I have ever handled.

Been enjoying mine, sel fit is great and bracelet feels and works well. Subdials are on that fatter side, but to me alot better than the thin version TD tried to send me j initially. This is a Noob v3 I picked up 2 months ago...

Can anyone confirm that the bezel is up to par on the latest batch v3 from Noob?
In other words, is it still a good idea to replace with CF bezel or is the 'new' Noob v3 bezel comparable to gen?

I have one from the latest batch. Can confirm it is up to par, in my opinion. CF is not needed.

Thanks, appreciate the feedback!

I have ordered a panda dial and waiting for QC pictures to come in, but can confirm that the latest version still has thin subdials as recent as a few days ago from QC pictures.

Can you post a comparison pic please
Is very hard to capture it in low light. I have 3 Daytonas on my photos
1) the white 116500 with CF (bought around August 2019)
2) the black 116500 with stock V3 bezel which I think is the old batch (UK stock from Sead) received end of April 2020
3) the 116519 also with V3 bezel direct from trusty bought in April received in May (which I think is the later batch). The watch received just 2 weeks AFTER number 2, for any questions about "fading" I'm not sure #2 can fade within 2 weeks of wear. Also #3 bezel was much brighter when I unpacked it and is still very crisp and I worn this more than #2.

Is very hard to take the photos in low light but I have took #1 and #3 together with their position swapped and both photos, #3 is much brighter than #1, at least in person. I also took one photo (last one) under the light which again in my opinion #3 is much brighter.

I do think the font from noob is just slightly thicker than CF, but #2 shows the bezel "paint" simply the loser out of the two, hence I only took 1 photo of it, #2 under normal light looks almost the same as #3, but in low light is pretty terrible.
