Lots of ARF fan talk of bezel on the Noob 116500 being shallow engraved and generally crap. I don't have a ARF to compare, and frankly I don't want one.

But I did a few hour homework and looked at a ton of photos. The result is that OMHO the ARF bezel is POS compared to the Noob.

Noob

The photo of the Noob is mine and is much less forgiving due to very high definition

What do you guys think?


For reference here is the Gen

The ARF steel bezel sure feels a bit shallow in my eyes. Wouldn’t mind to have it a bit more pronounced.

Steel is definitely off. The numerals in a gen bezel are deeper and have rounded edges filmmaking the light reflection more pronounced.

You can see how the numbers are still visible on the gen even in bright light.
