BR 123 Vintage Falcon

[vindies]

Hi all.

I was so happy to learn about the new release of the BR123 Falcon but my enthusiasm was immediately cut.

Just a quick look to the dial : Gen dial > Plane and "Bell&Ross" logo are white color whereas Rep dial > Color seems to be yellow/brown.

I wonder why they decided to put it in the wrong color... is painted in White color difficult ?

Anyone knows if the makers are going to solve this problem ?

Thank you

Maybe in v3...
It's a nice watch and easy to rep, but we know how it works for factories. Time will tell my friend

Not sure about the Falcon, but the regular 123 Sport Heritage that was just released has the correct white text, so it might just be the photo.

unfortunately it's not just the pic on the different website..... It's true, the BR123 Sport heritage has the correct white .. i can't really understand why it's not the same with the BR123 Falcon...

It does look white in other photos I've seen of the 123 falcon. Has anyone ordered the new sapphire crystal version?

You are right ! There is a "new" release of the br123 falcon.... They finally changed the color of the logo in White but the falcon plane is still not white.....

Does anyone knows about the next release with the white falcon ?

I have one on order with Sead but according to him there are two makers. The one that makes the mineral crystal and the one that makes the sapphire, its hard to believe there are two makers. Anyway I have the sapphire on order but since its the Holidays there, things are very slow till the 8th.

I know about that but even in sapphire and crystal, the plane still not in white color as the GEN

Have you looked at the dials on both Mineral and Sapphire. I have not. Are both the same flaw? This would support my thought that it is the same factory.

 

[vindies]

it depends on the dealer. Intime got the "v2" with the white "bell& ross logo" and saphire glass ( but still without white plane ) while the others dealers which got with mineral and nothing in white color in the dial

But i really don't understand why it's so difficult to paint the plane in white color.... a simple thing...

Like it overall but the plane pictogram is too big imho

They mess up so they can do V2 and V3 and V4

Please upload some pics when received it ! Thanks

By the way, Is anyone know when ithey will get out the version with the white color airplane ? ( and the "swiss made" white )

 

[Thrasher]

No matter what things will always be wrong otherwise why make the next version, they make errors intentionally to keep us coming back.

So I got mine yesterday, just like in the Intime photos, I'm busy and at work so you have to wait for pictures. The rubber strap is a joke like 115 by 75 way to small for my wrist so I ordered a custom one from martu. Great looking watch though, White Bell&Ross airplane not white

Had to put it on a NATO as the little rubber strap is way small, vintage strap on order from Martu, Sead got this for me.
