OK, that's a lot cheaper, I wonder how the plating will hold up.

So what do you think about quality of this BP?
a lot of sharp edges?

To my taste it’s outstanding. I couldn’t be happier.

This rose gold is beautiful, the insert is amazing.

SEL sides are well resolved, but to be honest it makes no sense be worried about this.

It’s a small detail but you know how obsessed we are.
but as I said long time ago BP has better plated sel sides. On GMF you can see bare sides.
which exactly movement you went with.

Hi to all RWI bros,

After I had read all the comments & feedback here......I plan to pull trigger for the BP 2836 version......

However I have some noob question on this rep model:


1) 904L & 316L steel does it make any difference in terms the weight of the watch & the shine & lustre of the watch??

2) I heard the Asian 2836 movement is quite reliable movement.....How often the movement need to be service??

3) All the hands & date of the watch adjustment is it exact same as the gen watch??

4)How is power reserve & accuracy performance rating ??

5)IHow is rose gold plating last??

6)BP 2836 version thickness same as gen watch??

7)Does it have the same instantaneous date change function as gen watch??


Thank you guys for the feedback.
