Hi guys,

recently purchased another great version coming from the V6, the BB Blue.
Apart from the real disaster strap, one of the worst plastic feel croc rep  I have ever had :D the watch built is almost perfect.
Had the chance here to check the gen at the AD, speechless on the quality.

The only thing I cant decide how to move one is the DW, the only visible flaw on this.
The gen has white font on black, the rep has black on white which btw fits very nice with the color of the markers
Strap and rotor has already been changed, bezel to 4,5 in process, the only thing I cant decide:

-to leave the DW as it is or
-chasing perfection by replacing the white on black as per gen

What do you think?

Thx for your thoughts;)

Nice watch..as you say that DW would bother me and I would chase the right one to replace it. Do you know any sources where to find a spare DW that would be closer to gen?

Hasselbaink Very beautiful watch my friend. You changed the rotor with a V1 or a gen one ? And if you don’t mind can you share the source of black DW ?? im interested to do the same build:)

Where I need to be.
Is the rep dial a sunburst blue like the gen? Can’t really see from the pics.

This is why is so good to be here :D
The DENIM version is the gen not the BB Blue mentioned in first stage, thus the DW is good as it is.
Will change the bezel and the xtal, rotor ok, and apart from the miserable quality rep strap the watch is a super rep imo.

thx guys!

where do you get the correct bezels that fit to the v6 ? I still need one for my franken :(

the sunburst is missing on the rep right ?

Found one on the web and one sourced by my watchsmith from Austria.

As stated above this is the denim version, the dial is "simply blue, not sunburst one ;) Another near perfect V6 release :D
