Nwbig is a garbage term that stands for "not worth buying in geninue" and should be put to death.
Since everybody can tolerate different things in a replica, one's person definition of NWBIG is not another.
Post Some more pictures if you have any more!So I've been seeing real first batch photos and it seems the crown is still thick.
Can't wait for this

The uneven thickness would be a bummer:/
Regarding the general thickness wasnt there something about the new/old references that was different?
Not sure since i am not a pro on those references
Yes the gen ones have different thickness based on batch and so on.
Just caught up on this thread, Holding out hope for a thinner crown or if it can be swapped with a gen. Never paid much attention to the Explorer, but these (either color) look very nice.
GEN case tube
CLEAN case tube
Appears that the clean case tube isn't gen spec from these images, so a Gen crown would not work unless you also install a Gen spec case tube.
The issue for me is the missing curvature of the bezel font. Once you see the flat horizontal lines of the Clean (and every other rep) bezel, you’ll never be able to unsee it.
I really don't think that's something to notice on your wrist tbh @dogwood magnified like this... sure it looks bad, but in reality?
I’m not so sure. My eye can quickly see parallel or co-linear lines vs. divergent lines. I agree it’s a tiny detail, but an artifact of our vision is that we tend to notice parallel lines (or their absence) quite easily.

I'm either OCD or a super recognizer and I saw it right away, but it's not a deal breaker for me. Really looking forward to one of these.
IDK how yall are wigging about this but not about the wrong handset.The issue for me is the missing curvature of the bezel font. Once you see the flat horizontal lines of the Clean (and every other rep) bezel, you’ll never be able to unsee it.

The overly bold bezel font, which doesn't arc around the dial is a huge tell IMO.
Definitely a V2 wait. The BP/GMF might have the problematic movement but the aesthetics are better. Clean cases and bracelets are always great so once they fix these things I’ll be in.
It's the correct hand set from what I see.
For the polar it's glossy black for the 216570 and matte for the 226570.
The clean 226570 polar appears to have the matte black hands which is correct
