Another angle hereI thought I was safe with my WMF one but on further inspection of my accepted QC pics looks like my date wheel could be black also, will have to wait till I receive it to check. Looks like once you see it you can’t unsee it even if no one else notices!
Car paint spray...Jeep Wrangler kaki I think. Or plug the hole with a gem...or like me get used to it. It's a lovely rep anyway.Another angle here
The date wheels on all BR reps were notorious for being the major flaw from day one, usually because they were never centered. Now it’s a completely different story with the colors being off. IMO not something to stress over, especially for a watch that is now on the cheaper side if you were to purchase a GEN.It's never simple as I said.
The white diver BR03 on trusty time web site shows an off-white dial with a pure white date wheel. But photos can lie. It's the black case one.
Same difference on the chazing time photos.
The stainless steel version with the white dial has a black date (both on TT and Intime). The gen SS has a white date but photos show different shades of white, could be the shadow inside the date window.
So it seems that the options for a matching date colour rep is either black dials or black case off-white dial with pure white date wheel...unless, unless you order a stainless steel rep and ask your TD to swap the date disc from the black pvd one ?? Or find a TD which can get a matching date one. Who needs the date on a diver watch anyway ?
Just received mine today from Trusty, the date
just received mine now from TT (WMF factory) and I’m blown away by the watch, it’s pretty much perfect and the date wheel is very difficult to tell whether it’s dark green or black and no one else will notice.
Looks great congratulations!Came with a rubber strap and a spare leather one. Have checked that the dates are perfectly centered. For me it looks ok. Just too small. I wish B&R made them bigger. Or got rid of it.
Looks so good I’m thinking of getting a blue one. Or a white one. Or both. And the gen. Aaaah too many watches already !!!
Yes the black date wheel
...but appart from that, the rep is so good that I'm getting used to it. A white date wheel would have been better. As for the dial colour, I can only judge from memory. I would need to see the gen in a shop when I'm wearing mine (very low probability). My photos don't show the real colour and speciality the shine. Have you seen the rep and the gen side by side ?
Gorgeous watch
I just got my bronze green dial via m2m and while the date wheel is black it is hard to really tell when looking up close as it just looks like a shadow and impossible on the wrist. Generally love the watch and super happy even but I would love to swap the date wheel one day.
Lovely beast. I have the orange one, also with the black date wheel. I haven't found a Miyota date wheel disc. I guess it will be impossible to find one aligned for date at 4:30 and with such small font...and the correct colour. I think the wrong shade of green would be worse than the black. I would prefer no date window at all...
