Black Bay V5?

The shade of the blue on the bezel is a bit lighter on the gen. Also it shouldn't be quite as matte as the red or black versions. It should have a tiny bit of gloss/shine to it.
I lightened my insert with some bleach (very carefully) then sprayed a coat of gloss over it. It's not perfect but I like it. Before, it was sometimes hard to tell the bezel was indeed blue. It looked too close to my black version.

I am currently looking to buy the V5 red version. Does anyone have any pics of the V5 red version they can share?
Yea take a look 2 and 3 pages back on this thread, mate! Plenty of pictures. You would have known if you spent 5 seconds to check.

Looks great mate! Liking the shine from the bezel
Screw you, dude. The pics weren't displaying on my device. You need to take a chill pill.

Sorry. I don't like being accused of being lazy when I wasn't. I'm chilled.

I just pulled the trigger on a Black Bay Red V5 from Puretime. Can't wait for my second rep.
I just picked up a Sub-C from WBK that is really nice and a good value.

I had an experience with this watch that I share with you (version 5).
Last week I had condensation under my glass. I took the watch to my watchmaker. He has replaced the gasket, the original version was not installed correctly. He was amazed by the quality of the watch and especially the movement. The quality of the timepiece was almost similar to a Swiss eta timepiece he said. He also tested the watch waterresistance, results waterproof up to 10 bar. All in all a great experience, replicas are not perfect ....... but very good.

Always great to hear how reps have come on leaps and bounds. Hearing it from a watchsmith is great

mate, you're one ungrateful person init? I steered you in the right direction and I get a "screw you"? Lol if you actually spent the time checking the page properly, we wouldn't be here right now, dude :whistling:
I would have taken it as being helpful if you would have left out that last sentence. I guess I should have explained that I couldn't see any of the pictures.
Please leave the dead horse lie.
