You're joking right? I mean you've been asking all kinds of funny questions over the last year so you must know all watches have flaws even gens. It's particularly evident if you put them into to a microsope.

Makes you wonder why is he even here on these forums.. So does he not buy gens too? Cos they have flaws too, especially microscopic ones. :headdesk:

So from reading the thread, the clean factory bezel and insert will fit directly onto an ARF 116610 and is a solid upgrade?

But looking at Puretime's website, is clean factory not selling the entire bezel assembly anymore? Just the insert?

Not sure about the bezel, but the insert fits onto an ARF perfectly. And it's a nice upgrade for sure, only thing is it's a bit too new to tell if it would fade with time or not. Let's hope not.

Credit card payment might be a bad idea anyway. Numerous people in the forums have had odd withdrawals after using their cc to buy reps in China.

There are several other payment methods available.

Does anyone know if I use the clean factory bezel and noob bezel ring, what's the best way to make the insert sit flush with the bezel? I just don't like how pointy the clean factory bezel teeth are. I've used double sided tape but it's always hard to make the insert fit evenly flush with the bezel. Sometimes one side is flush the opposite side just sinks into the bezel.

Also, regarding the topic of which factory make the best LV dial, I think BP's dial color is closer to gen but the cut out of the date window is... not so ideal. So what's the next best dial available for 3135?

Appreciate everyone for the feedback on this thread so far.

i just read through the entire thread, it seems that the CF bezel insert should just fit right into the noob bezel. Have you tried this, and it the CF insert is not sitting nicely in the noob bezel?

sorry for the poor photos, I have a terrible phone ,ordered one of these clean factory bezels and inserts, I can tell you it's a massive improvement on the noob, it shines nicely the milling of teeth is good. colour of the insert is good, friend has a gen and honestly couldnt tell the difference in the insert apart from the straight edge of the triangle, communication and timely delivery was perfect and as a supporting vendor on another forum, it won't take long for people to start giving recognition. Well worth the money paid, I'm no expert but for me it was well worth buying. One thing I like is the pressure fit, no need for tape or glue etc so will be clean if you want to remove, fits nicely, no rocking bezel, nice click aswel slightly more defined than the noob bezel. As I said earlier I'm no expert but worth what I paid. Any questions let me know. Cheers

its almost four months since you had the CF v1 insert. Has the engravings started to fade?
I have a noob v9 that is a little over a month old and its already showing signs of bezel insert fading. It would suck if the CF inserts start to fade over time too, because then I would have to resort to a spongebob or USD plating mod which I could just do on my stock noob insert instead of having to buy a CF insert and ultimately doing a mod on the CF insert.

Apparently post #7 in the below link, Jtime says that CF insert needs to be glued into the noob bezel because of different structures. So i guess its not a simple "plug and play" ? I'm not sure... sigh

hokim after 4 months I can say no mine hasn't faded at all, I mean I wear very sporadically, so might be different if was a daily beater. But mines holding up just fine. And you don't have to glue at all, mine is pressure fitted and been swimming with it, been on the highest and fastest zipline in the world with it and passed the test with flying colours...no joke intended..

I have a Sub Noob V7 No Data and I just received a Clean Factory insert, could anyone tell me what I can put on to carry the insert flush? I saw that the insert is thinner than the Noob so you need a thickness below ... tips please?
