Black Bay 58

Honestly, in real life, you just don't notice it. It's like an optical illusion - yet as soon as I take a photo, it's glaringly obvious. However on the wrist, even purposely looking for the lume issue, you just don't see it.

Goddamit, I hate you. Now I have to get myself one! I was about to pull the trigger on a genuine one a month ago, and saw the rep coming out. But then I saw the lume issue and that was the only thing holding me off!

Oh well...

You're welcome :thumbsup:

I also supply crack and heroin if you're interested.

I agree with this 95%

In real life the color difference isnt hardly ever noticable but outside in the sunshine I do see it and it is glaring right at me when I look. Indoors or cloudy outside it's not

Well I do live in England so this 'sun' thing that you talk of isn't something I'm aware of.

Lol, I moved from London to Barcelona. There goes my BB58 replica in the back bench again I suppose...

Ah, the roller-coaster of emotions that is this wonderful hobby isn't it?

Wowzers, that is brutal. Stay at home and wrap up!

 

[bigtiddygothgf]

can anyone confirm whether or not the rep is actually 11.9mm as the TD's sites say?

 

[bootlegboy]

SmartyPants is that the MN strap from Erika's Originals?

Looks nice!

Looks nice!

Thanks! The only issue that annoys me is the bottom SEL that's a bit woobly. I am looking for a way to fix it into place, any suggestions?

It's hard to tell if there's a difference or the gold hands are creating a bit of an optical illusion. Either way the lume doesn't bother me nearly as much as the crazy long crown tube.

Yup, that's one of her straps. Fits perfectly.

Same here, the tube really annoys me.

From my TD:

"Factory working on current issues with suppliers, will release V2 few weeks after CNY"
"New AR will be too"

That's what I have, which IMO sounds positive.
Fingers crossed.

Awesome.
AR for me is the biggest tell—more so than the hands or tube

If AR is as good as the GMT’s, would definitely upgrade it

Wow great news, let’s hope that this will actually happen! Not blaming anyone, but TD Information aren’t always 100% accurate, so we have to just wait...
