Black Bay V5?

[chimp_king13]

Just checked with the folks at puretime and they said the NATO strap that comes with the V5 is sold out. Sounds strange but I guess that's how it is. Do you guys know where I could get a good after market NATO strap once I get the Black Bay? How often to you guys use NATO strap? I read Gecko Watch straps or Geckota being mentioned on RWI. Any other recommendations or will I never end up changing straps?

Rep nato is not worth bothering, I do have gen Tudor nato for sale, PM me if interested.

The best NATO straps are genuine ex forces G10 straps

Just received this from kuvarsit (who is a joy to deal with by the way).

I had the gen in red before it was stolen amongst many other watches some years ago. So it was quite nostalgic and painful to pick this one up.

Overall, it's very impressive. The crystal, bezel (sound), case finish, bevel, markers are all great.

Lume application is really good and only imperfect with loupe.

Crown action requires delicacy, and stem is a bit off. Engraving of crown is very average (is this generally acceptable?).

Bezel has a LOT of play but sounds so similar to the gen it's uncanny. Off centre rose? Think mine has that too.

Apparently v5 this is. Shot with pixel and loupe system

Yup very nice. Poor crown engravings, sloppy bezel, missing pedal on dial rose, sometimes sloppy lume, are all standard.

Yours looks nice

Can I please have a few people confirm that the bezel is really that sloppy? It has a lot of play and movement clockwise.

You can try using the floss trick to minimise the play?

Hmm, I'm not sure but from what I know, the ZF v5 is the best Black Bay you can buy right now.

helenarou sells a BlackBay Dial for 45$ if you want it printed they charge extra 95$ but you get a perfect dial.

Anyone know if the rose logo model is still being produced? I've heard since the newly released shield logo is being produced, they have stopped production of the rose logo model. Can anyone verify this?

This statement comes from puretime and will therefore be correct. I tried two weeks ago to order the old version. However, this was rejected because the rose version was no longer available.

Some some-what misleading info here...play in bezel is an inherent issue (and not something you can catch or influence during qc process), and not really limited to this rep (most rep bezels have back play...). The imperfection (aka missing petal) on the logo is an inherent issue as well (you won't get better or worse rose logos from one watch to another so again, not a qc issue). As far as the rose logo / ETA version being more accurate in terms of movement...I laugh at this comment every time I see it. You are not fooling anyone with this movement in the rose version nor is it more or less accurate than the in house movement. Anyone who knows anything about this movement can tell within seconds (without even looking) that it is not eta (rep movement still has the date adjustment function so there is a second stage of the crown which basically spins freely...so you basically have to pull it one more time to get it to the time adjustment stage). It is a fantastic rep and has the potential to become a collectors item if they stop producing it (since rivet bracelet and the increased thickness is not everyone's cup of tea)

Yeah, got confirmation from WatchOutlet too. This is so sad. I hate the new shield logo version, I much prefer the older rose logo. :/

Only EU please.
Thanks

I've ordered the Red Black Bay V5 from Puretime (it came back into stock).

Would they do a video of the bezel movement if I asked them? That's all I'm really worried about. They other stuff is so hard to tell unless you know what you are looking at.

 

[k4jun]

Pretty sure that any of the TDs will do a video in QC

According to their Website. It was out of stock and couldn't be ordered and now it isn't. I also checked with Trevor and he had stock, but I still think he isn't back to full capacity

Just got my QC pics from Puretime.


Buy now before they are gone!
