Aaaah... gotcha. As rolexlover79 said, DHGate and Aliexpress won't allow the open sale of reps, so sellers have to photoshop their pics to remove the branding. When buying from the Gate (there are occasionally decent bargains and good cheapies there), I always ask for a QC pic just to confirm what I'll be getting is a branded dial, and not sterile.

Hey, do you know if aftermarket black dial is any good? I know the subdials on the noob is too shiny on the black, and don't know if i can find a gen black dial
Sorry if this question has been asked before, but the noob v4 116519 on rubber oyster flex, would this take a ARF daytona oyster stainless steel or noob steel bracelet?
Would the case allow it?
if anyone can charm their experience and knowledge on this please?

Not without serious modifications......
I've recently had Nikz19 do some work for me to achieve what you are seeking - I have a NOOB 116519 (which was mounted on a genuine Rubber B strap) - and I also have a NOOB 116500. At my request, Nikz19 has swapped the dials over, so that the 116519 dial is now on a bracelet and the 116500 dial is on the Rubber B strap.
As below:
(I also had the ceramic bezel on my black dial NOOB 116500 replaced with a CF steel bezel)

i cant see the photos so i’m shooting blindly here but why would you want to swap the cases since 1 is precious metal and the orher is steel ? Should have just swap the bracelet
Also the 116500 black dial cannot become an 116520 ..the text is different ! But hey whatever floats your boat

I swapped because I wanted to....!
You can't just swap the bracelets over because a 116519 case has totally different lugs to a 116500 case. I love the look of the 116519 dial on a bracelet, and I also love the white dial on the Rubber B. I'm also fully aware that there are small differences between a 116500 dial and a 116520 dial.....!

You could call it that - "StreetFighter" did the same swap over earlier this year and I just loved the final result. It may be a fantasy watch, but it looks amazing!!

Cases that use oysterflex are different to the ones that use the oyster bracelet yes.

Mine is clear but the seller insists that it is a CF Bezel...
Here are some more photos, apologies for the bad quality photos, but it seems that's as good as my camera will do at the moment:
