Hey folks, when I see the BPFF gen it shows it with a clasp, not a buckle.
Anyone got color to add, like how to get a clasp?
cheers

Looks awesome. I'm liking the rep strap actually. Although I think the gen has a deployant and the rep has a buckle.

The Gen does come with a buckle, the rep is correct, but there are a number of versions out of the Gen. Will post an update on mine soon.

When they launched the blue version of the FF, it came as standard with the deployant. The black version was originally supplied with tang buckle, but now it can be supplied with the deployant as an option..

i found a gen sales ad where the blue one came default with the tang buckle and not the deployant, according to the seller it was purchased in early 2013 so potentially now most if not all new sales of the watch comes with the deployant buckle.

+1 on the rep strap. I have a pretty thin wrist so it works and is comfortable. I can see how it wouldnt work very wall on someone with a large wrist though.

Loving my bpff, I went into ad for bp today and I swear to god I could hardly tell the diff between gen and rep. The only issue I have had is the crystal has a small scratch on it. I have been wearing gen Rolexes for many years and beaten and battered them but never ever managed to scratch real sapphire crystal.

Are reps using lower grade glass ?

I just got my QCs from Sead and they've changed the lug screws to normal flat screws. That would be fine if I didn't just spend $35 on two T3 hex drivers.

wait...is that what the gen has? if it's a hex screw then that would be an easy tell.

I'm quite sure that's not the noob, it's a different version, you should confirm with him if you purchased noob.

OK. Thanks guys. Sead just got a bunch of emails from me. I thought there was only one version. I couldn't tell either with Sead's damn lo res QC pics. I just thought Noob had thrown different screws in. DAMN IT!!! I was trying to get this before I went to Thailand in 10 days. So glad I posted this pic up. Cheers fellas!

That is not the noob version.

Noob BPFF looks like this (bot). The non-noob (aka B-grade) looks like this (top). Price wise, B-grade is about 70% the price of the noob.
