Today I received my BlackSteel V2 version and all I can say at the moment, this is a real great watch, one of the bests which I now have in my collection.
The dealer, nothing bad to say about, I am ordering all my watches from Precious Time and I did not have a problem at all. I contacted PT already in September for a V1 and he told me to wait until the V2 comes out. He also told me that it would be much better then the V1 version. PT contatcted me the day when he received the price and I ordered it the same day. Since the watch came from China to UK and then to my place, it took quite a while and this time the waiting was hard for me, beeing like an 8 year old waiting for x-mas. BUt this waiting time is always one of the best parts for me when I order a watch.
The watch comes with an A7750 movement which is running fine in this moment. Case diameter is almost 50 mm measured from 9 to the end of the crown and the watch is 17.9 mm thick. The weight of the watch is 167 gram incl the gen Breitling divers strap. The coating is suppost to be a DLC coating, it looks different with differnt light. The pearl is exactly in the middle, the bezel is unidirectional with 120 clicks and turns very nice, no problems at all. The AR is outstanding, as all the latest Breitlings I recently got.
The lume dots are ok, better then on my old avenger.
The caseback is really great, I do not see a difference compared with the gen. Individual numbers, it is a limited watch and I ended up with 120. I did not pick a number when I ordered the watch, at some dealers you could do it during the pre ordering process. I do not care which number I have unless it is number 1 which I have on my modded Saint Exupery RG.
some wrist shots outside this afternoon
some shoots in the snow
The rep strap feels stiffer then the old rep strap, but it looks like it will not take any dust.
I changed it immediatly to the gen. I was suprised that the spring bar was also coated.
with gen divers strap
now the last is the lume shot, just normal rep lume, not too bad at all
Looks like this could be one of my favourite watches and I am already thinking about a ETA 7750 movement implentation. For this you need to watch out, the hands are very thin and could brake easily, I had that problem with my avenger. But PT shipped a comlete set of hands so if they brake, I have new ones. :lol:
Sorry about the bad pics, light is bad these days
