It should be Noob ARF Clean.

Noob wrong font
ARF is nice
Clean too deep

The macro shots of the text is N, CF, Arf


The CF bezel is claimed to be too bold and engravings too deep, however on the wrist the Arf font is brighter which makes the text look bold. From looking at the Jtime pictures, the CF bezel colour is close to gen, which leads me too think Arf is too bright. However the colour can look slightly different depending on the light.

The Arf engravings are cleaner under magnification, all lines are perfect. But Arf QC can be bad you need to check the bezel or you'll get lots of defects.

Hard to say which is better both have + - points

You don't need a press to fit the clean factory, you can use a tiny amount of silicon and gently press it on with your fingers. Arf and Noob need a press so much more chance of snapping if you're not confident when fitting

Amazing the CF is the best
I was thinking N ARF CF but it’s N CF ARF

Did you ever get around to making a video tutorial on replacement? Or is it that easy?

Clean factory looks the best out of the 3 for sure

with less bolder engravings will be perfect. Like the V1 vs V2 116610 CF bezel...

Now i see that ARF color is way off
Too white and too sharp bevel edge
CF is the way to go. Same color as genuine
