Interested to see how good the quick adjust will be on the bracelet and if it will be available individually to purchase.

Any idea or link for the black and gold nato strap? I've seen a bunch on Ali, but not in the right color.

Oh this might be a rep I need to add to my collection. Together with a C+ explorer II… rip wallet.

Cant decide which one I want between the two. This will be my first so I didn't want to buy two gmts off the rip

@mclarendude ,
Can you advise on the hand stack? My eyes suck so I haven’t been able to figure out the position of the gmt hand from the picture. Is it in between the hour and minute?

Also, who did you end up ordering from? That was speedy delivery.

I tempted faith with a Fedex option....

Initial thoughts:

  1. Dates are perfectly centered, all of them.
  2. No dial alignment issues, as some posted about my QC
  3. The bezel numbers are not as close to the edge (or bevel) as they seem on camera.
  4. No, the thickness or height is not as bad as some make it. If you can wear a 16660 Sea Dweller, you can wear this.
  5. Feel is up to ZF standards. I have owned a PP Aquanaut and the BB Pepsi GMT from them, feels great.
  6. The clasp microadjustment.... a dream... Feels as good as my Monta's... Bracelet needs an oil bath.
  7. Hand stack? I can't tell ICHS or CHS unless I pay actual attention to it. The black painted hand bases hide it well.
  8. NWBIG? Hell. Yeah.
Going to size it, regulate it, and grease the seals.

Really appreciate the prompt feedback! I wonder if a clasp can be used on BB58. That will be a game changer for me.

If anyone has a BB58, I can happily try it out. (So I can also finally try out a BB58) LOL

How is the lumen difference between hands and dial also GMT hand lumen? In real life and outside light. Is the difference obvious?

I am soooo pissed mate! I just traded a gen Omega I bought a year ago for a Gen BB Pro because I didn't think it would ever actually come out... AHHHHHH!

Anyway, my gen showed up and was short links, so pissed. Guess I will see if I can source a rep bracelet so I don't hate myself for scratching up the gen lol.
