<<< Fratello article ~ bezel refinement? >>>
Ok, maybe I’m living under a rock and this has been discussed before …
For those who don’t want to click the link and read the article, the writer states that (in his opinion) the bezel on the 2020 to present references underwent a change of sorts and reflects less light than the previous ceramic models. My 114060 is at RSC at the moment so I can’t compare to my 124060 but I don’t think I’ve ever noticed this. Anyone else? https://www.fratellowatches.com/can-...at-dive-watch/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I'm wearing my 114060 right now. The bezel looks great to me. I never cared about the lugs on it either...They look great to me. |

When did you get a 114060, Brian? I thought most of the changes were in the lugs.

I won the TRF Submariner giveaway back in Feb 2017 I bought my 124060 in 2020 (about 2 weeks after launch date). I too, thought most of the “refinements” were to do with the case, bracelet and of course the movement … all well documented here and elsewhere. This is the first that I recall hearing that the bezel may have been tweaked. I’ll have a closer look when I get my 114060 back from service. Coincidentally, RSC called me yesterday to say I can come collect it, so I’ll be doing that next week Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

That's interesting! I haven't heard that one before, Brian. If true, that would be pretty cool, IMHO.

Interesting. I can not tell the difference between my 124060 and my 116610LV.

I've got a couple of pre 20's and I can't tell any difference between them and their post 20's counterparts.
That certainly does not mean anything by itself, but I do think sometimes, in the absence of anything of substance to write about, there are a lot of things written. |

I think it’s an optical illusion he’s seeing based on the AR coating in the new models making them less reflective and shiny.

I actually noticed this on my ‘24 Sub, the bezel is definitely less black and it does hide fingerprints better! I was thinking about this a few days ago and then convinced myself that it was just me and surely there was no difference. Interesting other people noticed this as well
