Need help....
Does the 45 placement looks closer to the inner bezel? And the number 4 looks smaller?

I got mine from Toros Bravos with the ETA movement 2 weeks ago. It is very good, keeps time wonderfully. In Paris 2 days ago I was wearing it at the Berluti store (to be someone in Paris you need at least one pair of Berlutis and a Rolex) ... it got quite the stare from the Rolex crowd there. One watch to rule them all .... if only they knew. My Berlutis are gen though. Very happy with this watch and very happy with Toros' service: almost better than gen ;)

I like Ferragamo better than Berluti, but I know Berluti is made there in Paris - Ferragamo is obviously italian.
Some Berluti's are Ex-pen-sive though!

Let's not get started on shoes :eek:hwell: it's too late on a sunday for that :adoration: I was just very happy to see this rep really cuts it, there might be some minor mis-alignments and what have you, but I was not able to see differences with the gen in the Blancpain store on Vendôme....

Agreed, the BFF is a SUPER rep! Glad you like yours...
I didn't mean to start a discussion or argument, simply making a comment!

P.S. Speaking of French shoes, I went today online to order a pair of LV loafers for myself, found two, Gentleman Loafer from Fall 2014 and Bank Loafer from Spring 2015 - and they were BOTH sold out lol!!

I know you will be able to appreciate this, check it out:

Gentlemen, Purchased this watch about 4 months ago via a trusted dealer which I believe was still from the 1st batch. However, the dial was literally with small dust speckles which bothered me so much I had to return and not bother as from Puretime's video reviews, I can tell that even the demo watch has the speckles. Did you guys have the same issue or was it just me? I'm really tempted to give it a shot with this watch. Any insight is appreciated!

Oh well, must have been just my luck, People are saying the rep sail canvas cloth has also changed for rather a longer one. Is that true? Because for my 6.6 inch wrist, I found the strap extremely short at the time. Btw did you get the FF on sale or full price? I saw that there is a promotion that they are selling it at 448 USD.

Yes, The strap is obviously longer AS in The early batches. Mine is 125/75 now.
