Thanks - yeah true, it's a 26mm for women. I'll post pics when I get it. It'll be my only gold watch (I have a gold GMT II anniversary) but I feel self-conscious wearing it. Am hoping with a switch to leather band this will be somewhat low-key.

I got mine today. I love the dial. I'm just waiting for a black ostrich strap from Ziczac and it'll be good to go.

Looks awesome!
Which TD did you end up getting it from and is that yellow gold looks white gold from the pic

It's definitely yellow gold. I got it from ts-station - I did ask a few RWI TDs but they all said they couldn't get it, so I gave up and went for a non-TD.

i believe RWG.bz

I see some of BP's model I'm able to pick with a 2813 movement and it cuts like 100+ off the price. Do you know if everything else about the watch remains the same? (Datewheel, hands, dial, case etc.) ?

Yes I believe so - I got a vintage sub BP with a 2813 and everything else seems the same. Great value.

Yeah that's what I thought as well - that would be insane value. And I guess a Swiss ETA 2824/36 will pop right in without need for new hands/dial/???

Can you upload some more photos please? I am thinking about getting a bp daydate 36 in the next couple of weeks but havent seen many reviews on here. How does the gold look? Cheers

Thanks bro, glad the deal was good with them. They do have stuff sometimes I've thought about doing that too.

I'll take more photos when I can, but Shotguns pictures give a good sense. I have a gold GMT from years ago, and this gold colour is much better than that (which was too orange).

The good news is that the strap is excellent

The bad news is that 'stainless steel' is engraved :( Anyone got any ideas how I could remove it? Some gold paint perhaps? So disappointing - $270 for the rep, $50 for the strap, and then it's ruined by the marking

you should buy strap links. No way of fixing that. Only way is brush it and replate it. I would go for the endlinks. Looks much better aswell with no gap between the strap and case

Stuvetjee Thanks very much for the suggestion, very helpful indeed. I didn't know about those end-links, fingers crossed the colour matches well enough.

Got mine and unfortunately, the print on the dial isn't applied correctly, regardless it's a beautiful piece
