BP Released whole line of DG3804 CHS GMTs - cheap!

[LT_UTC]

Following thread with interest. Looking forward to the first reviews.

I'm a bit confused. They say 1675 correct hand stack ( http://www.trustytime01.cc/index.ph...=20401&zenid=4edc999b0895ff49e1da70fde2f02d2e ), but the 1675 does actually have the GMT hand at the bottom. So this would in fact be a 1675 ICHS ? Or would it qualify as a 16750 CHS?

You are correct, BP is confused. It could qualify as a very early 16750 release, not many of those had the non white gold surround markers but some did.

Asian 2813 21j Automatic, surely is not reliable.

I love the reliability of Asia 2836-2. Cheap and reliable, you can`t find a better option.

I look forward you review on that new movement.

DG2813s and ICHS DG3804s can be quite reliable and long lasting. The CHS DG3804 is the unknown here, I'm looking forward to tearing it down.

I just approved the QC on a 16710, I think I should have it by late next week. I was pretty excited to see these five digit GMTs pop up.

My 288$ everose gold plated bp just came in,
pretty amazed by the quality.

it all started as a joke because i was curious about everose tone replication nowdays. Than this came in..
weight and crown guards apart, this is a great replica.
movement is the new cheap(and reliable?) chs 2813

Dont tease us, let's see some pics- deciding between the rose gold or yellow gold so your pics might sway me...

Just seen youve posted the pics- this looks amazing for the price!

Nice bro, thanks for the pics! It looks like the same caseset and dial they use on all their models. Is the movement working well, particularly crown position 2 where you hour jump to change the date?

Well, my 16710 arrived at my dealer but they found out the movement wasn't running. Now I will have to wait for a replacement. Not a good start but I'm optimistic! For the price it looks good.

Yeah sh!t happens. I wouldn't worry too much. I've had a watch go back to the factory before. The good news is the DG3804 movements are inexpensive and easily sourced. Worst case scenario is a new movement, new set of hands and do a complete swap to ICHS. $60 for parts.

Hope it's just a one-off, would hate to see these movements be another bad risk.

to be picky, every case set of actual gmt reps is wrong case set.
Gen 12 series share a new case set, with slimmer lugs and submariner style crown guards. Bezel’s different too, crystal sits higher than before also.
As a result the watch is substantially different on the wrist compared to the older 1167.
fun fact not even gen owners talk about these differences, if you ask on trf you’ll be answered they’re actually the same case.
power of the rep world.
as for the movement,
i didn’t even touched position two yet, lol

Indeed, there is more knowledge here than anywhere else, I think. I don't blame you for not touching position 2. I'm going to work mine out thoroughly though. I want to see what's it got.

Just ordered the BLNR.
I’ll send an update once I get QC pics!

I'm going to order it too, but waiting for the first review. Please keep me and the others posted! Do you have any QC pictures yet?

Has anyone else received one of these yet? The price is too attractive that I may just order one anyway...

Just ordered a 16710 Pepsi, will post pics as soon as I've got it.

Looks to me like trusty took all of these down, except for the Explorer IIs. I have a BP with the CHS "clone" movement and had the same issue as everyone else - it broke. Shame because the watch is really outstanding otherwise. Hinclimincli, can you share where you ordered the pepsi?

KJ2020 has a thread up on how you can change your CHS to a ICHS.

 

[Hinclimincli]

I ordered from Josh, actually. Which makes sense as both of them are the old cartel.

 

[RiffRalf]

Is this Tigerauge/Clint Eastwood part of the same batch from BP?
I have not seen it on any other site.
Do these have the thick caseback like the 1670 eviewed by KJ2020?

Befuddled brain needs help ....
