Is the noob bezel glued on or can it be popped off and this one popped on in its stead?

The latter.

This would be a nice addition to my noob hybrid.
Engravings seem a tad too deep but I can live with that.

Man, ARE YOU DONE THEN? Continue with this shit and I'll deal you with a time out from here. You stated your opinion on at least 10 posts throughout these 4 pages ever since the thread is up and I can see you continue to do so. We got it. Also stop posting IRRELEVANT pics in a thread you have no dog in. Roger?

Yes okay. I didn't realise I was being such a naughty boy. I'll stop posting then.

Looking good! I would like to see a side by side comparison with noob and ARF, just like the first comparison of the submariner inserts :)

Will the razor blade trick work for getting these bezels off or do you need a dedicated puller/press for a successful swap?

Should do. I use a Stanley knife blade but be careful and tape the case up so you don’t scratch it. Also take it steady with ceramic as it will snap very easily.

All Daytona bezels are pressure fitted onto the crystal gasket. All reps are the same in this respect.

Looks great from these photos. Can you do a similar comparison with ARF?

Ill take one - and send it straight to spongebob and get it plated.

This looks a bit too dark in natural light.

"UNITS PER HOUR" looks stunning! I've been waiting for this.

This is great news!
I have a 116500 Noob V2 panda,and was intended to buy an ARF donor watch for the dail clasp and bezel.
But I am very curious if the CF bezel is even better than the ARF..

Thanks for posting review ????????

You can wrap a cleaning cloth for glasses around a Stanley blade. Put a very fine layer of silicon greese on the inside of the new bezel. Be careful when you press it on that it's even otherwise it will snap.

Nice! Safe to say I am happy with my ARF bezel, but if I were to buy a NOOB I would ask for one of these to go right on there. Sure beats getting a donor ARF watch and dealing with that.

Agree with you also for the good dials from Noob V2.2...

sorry who are?
Looks great.

Just a little too deep of the engraving. Hopefully we get some side pics to see if it fits like gen.
