noob and BP sub-c side by side

[mitchbaria]

Wep is you bezel real stiff? If so, hold the case with one hand and with the other spin the bezel really fast 30 or 40 turns then recheck it and repeat until it loosens to genlike.

I sold my BP but it did loosen up after awhile

Look at this from Reg! Damn this one looks markedly better. I wonder if he can source that insert without that hideous watch beneath it?

And the triangle and pearl are correct!

I've emailed reg and Sead to try figure what factory is producing those watches and how to get that insert as a stand alone part.

I think the bamford insert looks like crap.
Look at the 3 at 30. the gen has the line in the middle of the 3 more to the top. On the "bamford insert" the middle line is in the middle of the 3 or say centered.;-)
The font is also thicker on gen.
Then the markers around the 10. on the gen they are very close to the 10, on the "bamford insert" there are a mile away.

I would say the font numbering on the BP is closest. maybe triangle and pearl can be better but the numbering thickness is perfect.

Here a picture to add.
There also is a problem with the 20;-)
the spacing between the 2 and 0 is of on the bamford

[mitchbaria]

Not so much my point of how wonderful the font or depth of the number of these are but rather the triangle and pearl which seems to escape both Bp and noob!

I'm pretty happy with the noob pearl. It's a little off from gen but pretty close in my opinion

 

[Rudy40]

This is one of the best looking ones i have seen so far! Still not there but close!

Then these numbers look like they are painted on!

I guess the only sullution will be taking a pearl off one insert and putting on a better insert with deeper engraving on the numbers!
Mitch is on a mission! And i think he will not stop until he finds it! Hopefully i will be there when he does!LOL!!

Honestly none of those triangles look right to me. I still think the BP engravings are the closest, but apparently Mitch said the angle of the bezel itself is all wrong
