I buy the v4 and then I look what must change. Pictures are not so perfect to see all the fine things.
Why most people blame Noob V4 Bezel but my opinion i think it not much different from CF

The letters are thicker - a little too thick - and the CF has too little space between the top of the letters and the edge of the bezel. Neither is perfect.

Do you guys really think that the subdials on the V4 black dial are less shiny now? They look the same to me...

Noob V.4 Black Dial
I can see some little differences like pinion and the bezel improvement. I would accept this watch if time parameters are fine.

I agree. Especially after seeing pics posted by Zenth , still too shiny. I used to not give a damn about it until a saw a gen a while ago. Not shiny AT ALL. I don't like the white dial, so I guess I'll have to live with that....Or just go for the 116519. Again...Or perhaps the silver 116509 with silver dial. But those SELs...ffs...

I've just watched this comparison between the white and black version and the subdials appear to be a bit shiny on the black one:

If you wanna go for a 116519, why don't you build yourself a nice 116519 "old" style?
This is the one i built recently:

the 116500's subdials are way more matte and opaque than the video shows, there must be a huge light shining on them to make them look that shiny lol, even the subdials in the white one look shiny even if they are black because of that light lol

Daytona Bezels...
.
The v4 is completely different than the gen, the v3 is far better compared to the v4, and obviously the closes is Clean

I've been out the game for a few months, funny that:
Noob still can't get the O right in ROLEX
New versions are still backward steps
There are new factories making subs
People still can't decide which is best
Still the rumours of a v10 ap diver with 'ghost lines' persist without any materialising
I still can't remember which modders have which watches
You haven't missed much regarding the Daytonas...
The Noob V3 release starting a year ago in September 2019 became a Dial Train Wreck.
- Looking back, the Bezel was the only real change for the V3 White Dial Panda.
They started shipping with the "V2.2" Dials which had the correct Sub-dial thickness for many months. Many Members were very happy with this version. Then some of them started showing up with the old V1-V2 style Dials with Sub-dials that were too thick. Finally sometime last Spring, they started shipping them all with Sub-dials that were too thin.
- The Bezel was also an improvement for the Black Dial 116500 Noob Daytona.
However, They started shipping with Dials that had the old V1-V2 Sub-dials that were way too thick. Then some started to ship with "V2.2" style Black Dials that were better, but still thicker than Gen. Finally they started shipping with Sub-dials that are about the same thickness as a Gen, but the Silver continues to be much too shinny.
- Overall the SELs were better for the V3 Noobs, but that would be more of a quality issue and not really a change.
- And now a year later, the Noob V4 is released.
The Dealers say that the Bezel paint/coating has been improved to reduce fading over time and that the Bezel engraving has been improved, along with the quality of the hands at the pinion points.
The Dials for both the White Pandas and the Black 116500 V4s have the correct Sub-dial thicknesses, but the Silver Sub-dials on the Black Dials continue to be much shinier than a Gen. Everyone would also like to believe that the overall quality of the dials has improved. Time will tell, when they can be compared side by side, in person with the V3s.
- No real changes with the ARF Daytonas over the last year.
Running changes from over a year ago included better alignment of the Rehaut and Shorter Pushers.
SEL quality slipped a bit in that time and the Silver Sub-dials on the Black Dial continue to be slightly thicker than a Gen.

Don't be too quick to conclude until I get the real one.
I think shooting angles may affect photographs...Maybe ....

Have a look at the 400 engraving mark, not even near the gen nor others, that is what caught my eyes.
