mine qc s …arrived today…yet approved

Looks beautiful. Did you get any QC pics of the caseback? I head a rumor on WeChat about a subtle update from BTF, and I wanted to check to see if they'd updated the hallmarks on the case.

Come on guys!
I think it’s not so important, even the weight is completely different than the gen

Here you are



Thanks. Looks like it still has the 750 on balance scales hallmark in the bottom left corner. But as @michaelle1193 said, the weight is totally off, so the hallmarks aren’t important per se… if you can see the hallmarks, you’ve already felt the weight. I guess the reason I care about the hallmark is that it feels like a spelling error — it’s an easily avoidable mistake. It’s an error that doesn’t need to be there. Whereas the weight thing kinda has to be present since no factory has yet to perfect making cases & bracelets out of tungsten-copper to get the weight correct.

And also the color on the side of the bracelet is different than stainless steel but the weight is a big tell. I wouldn’t let anyone holds this watch if i buy it. This model is amazing anyway.

So my qc came in. I think the 3 marker is tilted. Besides that, this looks like the old dial before it was updated? Can anyone confirm or mention if there is a way to tell?

Yeah, 3 o’clock looks pretty tilted. I’m not sure if I’d be able to unsee that after noticing it.

i don't understand the color of the brf dial, sometimes like this off, too much grey/green blue, sometimes in good ice blue... because gen is blue, ice blue...
