My version is pretty good, markers lined up, lume is perfect, bezel looks good, but the flip lock on the clasp sits slightly crooked, and it's a little annoying.

That's not too bad considering it isn't 7.5k

Then again, I've got the ND, which has much less to go wrong. The Sub date can be a pain when stuff isn't aligned..

I ordered the v5 sub C from BK a few days ago. From what he told me, it was in stock, for people still looking for one.

Get 2.3 mm crystal gasket if the crystal height is 1.8 mm.

Hi All, does anyone know how to fix the crystal height issue? I noticed the crystal height is a bit "protruded" from the bezel compare to the gen where it should be at the same level as the bezel.

I am still edging towards the No Date. The alignment always seems a little hit and miss on the date and cyclops

It's very nice, would take a thorough inspection of the V5 ND, off wrist, for someone to spot it as a rep. The ND on the wrist has no major tells.

My flip lock clasp is giving me some trouble too lately.

Mine came DOA, my replacement is good except for the crooked flip lock. I'm hoping they can ace the clasp sometime soon. If the Pelagos clasp can be repped, this easily can..

so I have my Hulk v5 in process, but the images from the TD is so small you can't even properly QC. asked him to send me bigger files. it looks like to me that mine also has the wrong bracelet and clasp. i will see when the bigger files come in. it's so small i can't even see the engraving on the clasp. somtimes the way TD's behave annoy me and makes me parnoid. it's almost like they are trying to fool you on purpose. i just need a honest TD who wants my money for years to come.

Now I am getting confused. So the V5 has a better dial and bezel, but the case/lugs on the previous versions looked better?

Just ordered my 2nd BK sub C. Black this time. I have the green one already. I think the QC BK does along with his slight mods is worth it plus its guaranteed swiss eta so you will have years of problem free movement.
