B50 Cockpit

Recently I posted about a B50 I saw on the gate. (And a vast amount of other watches)

​​​​​​As I said back then, I'm aware of the crappy quality they sell and that anyone should stay away from those watches. But I also said I really quite liked the B50. It seemed to be decent quality, despite the quite obvious flaws it had.
After asking a video and qc pics I decided to try my luck with this watch.

It arrived today and I believe I found a little gem on the gate. Let me share with you:

* I know it is not a flawless rep. The numbers 3,6 and nine are hard to miss and there's the matter of extra pushers on the left of the case. So I'm not going in to all the flaws. That was not the point. The point is that I believe you can have a real nice watch for €61, including shipping.

​​​​​​Here it is, flat on the table.

First thing I noticed, it's a beast. Usually, my Seawolf humiliates all other watches. But the B50 has the Seawolf for lunch. Not that obvious in the picture. But believe me. It's hugh. Lug with is 24mm and it weighs just a few grams under my Seawolf.

Overal finish is actually very nice. Not titanium. But all feels solid. The crystal has blue AR coating. But shines a lot during the day. In the evening or under a led light it's way better.

Caseback even has the right markings.

The bracelet is 24 mm at the lugs. After a baby oil bath it feels about as good as my others. There might be a little more distance between the links. But not noticeable. Engravings are laser eged. Wings and letters on the clasp are good. (Compare to H-fac, gen and gf top to bottom)

Nice blue lit digital dial with time, date and stopwatch function.

So... There you go. Not a super rep or nwbig, but definitely a hell of a watch for €61.

That's actually very good looking. I had been looking at them but I have small wrists.

In that case, I'm afraid you can't pull it off. Haven't measured it, but I guess it's 47/48mm

TBK When you have time could you send me the link to purchase this watch. I am going to buy one for a weekend Beater. I have been using my first Bandit as my Beater.

Hello TBK,
I've been looking for one for my brother for a while, but never seen a TD offer one.

I ordered a couple from him as well on 7/1 and they just shipped. I think you will be fine. Shipping is delayed and they may have yours waiting for the next courier they can have retrieve the package.

I'm honestly so stuck with these. Some days I look at it and think it's pure class, other times I throw up in my mouth a little lol

Nothing is fast when buying Reps. It is no different on DHGate. Our seller has to go to the factory to pick up our watches. Same as our TD but with no QC approval and the cheapest shipping method.
