imho the carbon NTPT version is not in my list until they fix the case and the large gap between the rehaut and the case

good eye… you’re probably right. These come with a screwdriver and extra nylon strap too I think.
ahh, i asked for the screwdriver and strap as well, but only for the screwdriver he asked 20£ which is a bit too much, i ll get the strap with the box with another order and i ll do some research for the screwdriver tbh

V2 carbon under natural sunlight

Just approved my qc!! Could you pls share where you got the ARx3 crystal?

I was looking at this and I red it’s not possible to actually apply the coats DIY, it must be done with industrial equipment which means need to buy the crystal itself.

RWI's go to for 2xAR is https://forum.replica-watch.info/forums/profs-crystals.301/. Read the T&C's but I'm pretty sure you'll either need to send the watch or at least the crystal to prof to apply the coating.

Hi Guys,

i also got my QCs (usally i check especially the dial alignments, so i am not really sure what to look out for here...) but my timegrapher results are a little odd -
amplitude is 344, is this normal with this movement?

I believe you got the answer under your post on reptime qc, it was due to the watch being fully winded, you are fine. For a second I was concerned about your crown (assuming it is meant to be black, same model as mine) but then I realised you choose a different model - red font silver crown- so makes sense

Well, i am still not 100% convinced, since all watches should be fully wound before testing... so compared to your 311, my 344 is still pretty high.
But it seems no big deal to anybody and there is no way to make sure TDs fully wind it before testing anyway, so its ok!

Ah, thats a great info about the crown, TD mentioned its different than the others, but i couldnt figure it out.
Thank you!

Anything above 310 is not great since it is a sign of overbanking. No comments about the movement since I'm not familar with it.

Guys just got mine, it is damaged at the top left corner, the NTPT is scratched clearly from overpressure. What do I do? andiot is not really willing to help, he says there is no evidence that it was scratched after QC

Anyone else buy these? Thoughts? Opinons?
Have one on the way

Overall, case shape for the NTPT is worse than the previous versions, the rehaut is too thick, you can compare with gen to see

But the movement which is 80% of the watch is fantastic

Rest of the watch is typical BBR, shitty strap and clasp

Is this the true clone Vaucher? Or is it the new BBR v3?

Disregard. Close inspection tells me its not the BBR v3 movement for sure.

Depends on price and stability of ZF. Quite frankly I have a feeling the ZF will be double BBR price. Which, tbh, is alot of money for a watch I may only wear once a month.

Update: new ntpt bezel received from Andiot. Glad this is sorted. Swap was easy, just be very very carful if you are ever unscrewing the bezel, these screws scratch very easily, do not apply too much torque. Pics below:
