You have to give these guys major props for delaying a release of the most anticipated rep of 2014 in order to get these details correct! Not sure Noob would have done the same!

Nope, I can't do a gen-spec DWO right now. But I might not have to. It seems that J12 is doing a gen-spec DW font as well. :woohoo:


A secret source corrected me five minutes ago via PM.

dude, what's next??? Are they putting a Gen spec strap with real malaysian alligator and a LWO 283 movement ;)

If all these news are true, and i feel they are, this is probably going to be a contender for Rep of the year...

Noob would give a fart. They havent updated basic flaws in years with 20+ variations of the same watch. Thank god, there is J12 - at last

The only uncertainty is if J12 can get the gen-spec font on the BB DW in time. It will be a battle between release date and perfection of reproduction. The further they push out release, the better the chance of a gen-spec DW. If not, subsequent releases should have correct DW font though, it seems, if all goes as planned. Very exciting.

I don't care if the BB will delay if they are improving quality and accuracy. I think everybody should have patient for better quality. When I was told in some thread please fix obvious easy fixing flaws some members nominated me forum idiot.

J12 would probably have to push release into mid-June if they wanted to get the gen font on the BB DW. But J12 want the gen font on their reps, that is for sure.

Maybe they ran out of FC cases, or maybe they want to use up some extra dials/hands/bezels. In any case, it puts J!2 one step closer to doing a 44mm Panda.

That was just one watch, lol

Now regarding the DW, this is not coming from J12, it comes from the a7750 factory.
The question is, why did they change it? They also came out with blue screws,
that is also a mystery?

I think it is easier to change the DW instead of putting the overlay over it.
You still need to take the transfer gear plate off to apply the overlay.
Regarding to the master, the overlay yield is 50%
