Cheers

I think no one can confirm you that because all v3-v4 and clean are so simmilar especially on photos,you have clean logo under the bezel

I'm 90% confident that's a CF due to the position of the lettering and width of the S in UNITS.

Hi guys.

I have a genuine 116520 Black Dial Daytona and I want to modify it to look like a 116500LN by giving it the black ceramic bezel.

Frankly I am shocked that there is this level of discussion. I was also unaware of the fact that the authentic Rolex Daytona Ceramic bezels had Platinum inlays. I was completely unaware of this.

Looking at all of these GEN vs Clean vs CF pics each of them look very nice.

But can you guys tell me which bezel is supposed to look the most authentic? And where can I buy it?

This should help you visualize the differences:

Are 1 of these Authentic?

I want to know how this CF V4 Bezel looks from the side profile. I recently bought 2 replica Bezels for my 116520.

1 of the bezels was way too thick and 1 of the bezels look slightly thin. The thickness of the 1st replica bezel was WAY WAY WAY off compared to my 116520. The 2nd bezel was more accurate and had more accurate fonts, but the lettering was white (as opposed to platinum). So it looked white rather than slightly silverish.

I just want to know if anybody has ever compared this CF bezel to real 116500 bezel. How do the dimensions look from the side (thickness, height, angel of the bezel slope)

Both are Noob v3. Both are ceramic bezels. I'm not sure why you want to compare a ceramic 116500 bezel to a 116520 steel bezel - of course they are going to be off in thickness.
If you bought third-party bezels they were probably designed for a generic 7750-based case, and not the Noob 4130. The only option you should consider is the CF bezel if you're putting it on Noob 116520.

Can some body post the CF Clean Bezel from the side? I am curious how the side profile looks In terms of thickness and angle?

My 116520 is real, which is how I know 1 of the bezels I got was not accurate. Though I cannot be sure the 116520 and 116500 have the same dimensions, judging from pics I've seen they are probably of similar thickness.

The second bezel I have is more accurate in terms of thickness but the lettering does not seem centered or as cleanly cut as the CF bezels.
