I owned the gen before and have ordered the rep. I will look at it when I get it :)

Thanks mate! subscribed for your update :) Hope for your brutally honest opinion about cannon pinion and how bad is a dial printing when compared to the gen:)

I recieved My BB black a couple days ago and here is my thoughts on it compared to the gen I owned.

The overall feeling is great, pretty much the same feeling as wearing the gen. Case, bezel, hour marks and hands are all pretty spot on. Even the bracelet is gen like except the sharp edges.

Howewer; there is some minor flaws compared to the gen.

* The crown and crown logo - it doesnt sit as tight to the case compared to the gen. The crown logo isnt as deep and crisp like gen.

* The dial is and text is more plain compared to the deep and rich dial on the gen.

* The lume is off. But hey! In daylight the color is creamy and correct as gen.

Otherwise it is awesome. I can easily live with the flaws for 1/10 of the price of the gen :)

Does anyone know which TD's carry the V5 Red Black Bay? Also, if any TD's having it on sale?

I'm pretty sure there is no difference between v4 and V5 but I guess I will be able to tell that for sure in a few weeks. I have a v4 and recently ordered a V5 so I can make a comparison for everyone but based on the pics of v5, I see no difference what so ever
(...)

This would be a great help and would be greatly appreciated!

Is there anyway if fixing it? Or do u just accept it lol

You can use the dental floss method (which really never worked for me but it worked for some others), or remove the bezel and mod the click springs (search for it and you will see a lot of threads about it...I am yet to receive a rep with no play in bezel, regardless of the factory and the brand of rep I received. If you get a tc or bk ones, I doubt there will be such an issue)
