Thanks, It is my daily!! Also, didn't mean to hijack Blitz's thread or steal any thunder from his. It was nice to be able to see a diffrent version and share the joy of owning one of these with him! I may be tempted to sell mine if I can ever figure out how to do so properly! LOL!
In fairness none of the photos show the red properly. It isn't as in your face as pillar box red, it is a more stealthy subdued red which matches the dial lettering. Red on black is always awkward for the eye to discern properly but I honestly cannot confirm if it is a good match with the gen or to what degree it falls short. I just love it for what it is.
OK, some more photos for your delectation. These are rushed so please don't judge my photographic skills too harshly. I never thought I would get so much feedback or as many PMs about this watch but I am more than happy to share all I can. I'm not a hardcore hobbyist, I don't mind that these watches aren't perfect and I adjust my expectations accordingly. Even so, this is impressive. Even if you are not a fan of the make or style you should be encouraged by the quality of replication as, hopefully, it is a pointer for the future.
Impressive, good clear pics thanks. The datewheel and the logos are perfect. This looks like a BP factory production judging by pearl and clasp and a few other things but still can't be 100% sure. If it is, how the hell did the muck up the 42mm ceramic planet ocean dial dw and logo details and get them so right on this.

I just got mine- love the look. Already small problems with crown.
Wow!
lovely, what is the problem with the crown?
Jumping hour hand upon screwing in?
How is the bracelet mate?
wear in good health
I'll be happy with the asian 2824, I'll grab one when its available and do a rep-gen comparison for you chaps.
The crown doesn't pull out easily. The 2nd and 3rd positions are not well defined.
It could be a problem with the 'setting bridge' or stem. I've heard of some similar problems on
RWG. The truth is - BP Factory makes some great looking watches, including this 007. QC is
not too great IMO.

I'm sure it will be OK. It's just annoying how the factories make such a nice piece but screw up with a lot of details. Today I almost lost the damn thing because a bracelet screw fell off from the SEL. Lucky I had a spare link.
Probably best to get these serviced asap. Think I'll be putting mine on the list for Alex to work his magic on.
