The New Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight (58) 79030N

I agree.. Dial and hands finishing is quite subpar, original parts are next to impossible to source (and expensive).. One might as well buy the genuine one. -

1) bezel insert number size is too small 2) hour hand ok, minute ok, seconds too short -
Use a TD.. puretime.io is a good start.

New 16610 & 116610 today.. what you think?

If you want even more exact you'll need a TC V7 Extreme bezel or Genuine. A contributing factor is the shape of the "steps". A genuine is almost upsidedown V-shaped while the reps are a bit more upsidedown U-shaped. TC wrote an article about it that the he hired someone to finish the scallops by hand since automatic tooling equipment couldn't make them V-shaped enough. I added a genuine bezel to get the extra stiff/rigid feel… Worth 700EUR? Well a crazy franken is a crazy franken. Mine is has everything but midcase and bracelet is gen. -
It fits straight off.. no mods. Feels amazing. I always install Glidelock on my Rolex bracelets. Even installed on a 214270... i recommend brushing the polished glidelock links vertically to match the remaining links.

Would a phong 116520 "bakelite" bezel fit on a Noob 116500 V2?

I like this place and its' inhabitants, so I try to take the time to help… We aren't plentiful, but I would say that we sure have panache. -

Completely agree... However if your budget allows it.. I would buy gen. Be cheap.. Take the fabric one and add a rep bracelet later..
