Looks decent enough, just need to add Gen hands & hope the lume matches.

My QC came in from Andrew tonight. Basicly confirms what we know, hands are wrong and the "6" "9" is not perfect either. It's all things I can live with until I can swap to new hands.

Same here. Will just wait for a new version or a different factory to release. If BP can pull off the same success here that they had with their 39mm Exp, I'd be a happy buyer.

I think the thicker hands on the rep goes better with the dial style... I think that if rolex offered a choice of handsets, that most people would chose the thicker hands. Those thinner hands look more like dress watch hands IMO

At the end of the day it's about enjoying what you wear on your wrist :)

Just when I thought I didn’t need another watch. I’m meant to have a ‘1 in, 1 out rule’ but this was always going to be the exception.

Will be diving in head first once the hands are updated!

In the beginning I really wanted to buy this.
But now I can’t really unsee the hands.

Just ordered a perpetual 36mm for the moment.

the bracelet end link and case taper seems different...

Rep case looks fine to me. The lighting and stickers on the rep case may be fooling your eyes a little. Or mine lol

Which movement would you recommend? I see that this particular version is done in the SA3132, A2824, A2836...

I'd go with a A2824 or A2836 and replace it with a ETA or Sellita once it dies. But i personally dont order it until the hands are fixed. This must be NWBIG to buy it - my personal opinion.

conversely, if people never order it they'll conclude this model doesn't sell well and they will never fix it

I order it but will bitch about the hands to my TD. This should be helpful.
