Someone has to go for the FG one from the first link. I'm dying to see a real proper review of it. Although I think the sunburst dial is off but I'm happy to be proven different..
Anyone remember the MBW TT Subs from a couple years ago? Those had the most amazing blue dials. Why can't the current reps get that sort of quality? The dials on these seem to be less cobalt blue and more purplish. Other than that they look good.

Ceramic TT sunburst dials ain't the same shade of blue as the 5 digit Bluesys had. They're totally different.

I m really pleased with mine..
Please forgive my silliness, this is gen or rep???? If this is rep, I'm ordering one. If it's gen, I have a few small children for sale and then maybe I'll buy one. Heheheehhee

The problem is that the Purplish dial can be caught only by camera...in person its quite blue obviously..at first i would consider finding a more accurate dial to fit in..but then again i stuck with it..
From what I'm seeing the only difference is the maxi markers. The blue looks the same.

The 116613 dial is different than the original 16613 dial. Although similar in photos, the sunburst and a few other dials have changed. That line effect you get on the older dials where it starts from the center of the dial and shoots out is much more subtle, the blue tone is also more "electric" blue rather than a dark purple shade.
What's also changed is the print execution. The gold shade on the 116613 dials isn't as dark as the older dials. Both dial versions still have raised print.
They're different dials altogether Rup. The photos your using for your comparison are crappy which doesn't help.
*keep in mind there were also variations in the 16613. And then there's age in the dial that plays an influence on the "blue".

I've only seen the gen a couple times because every time I go to the AD it's sold. (No great surprise there actually) Pictures never tell the whole story for sure. Think I heard that BP unlike Noob will sell parts. Maybe ordering just the dial from this watch would be informative. I'd order the whole bloody watch but I just spent a ton on my 216570 build.
