Someone have pics offre héritage model ?

 

[renoz]

Thx for pics Scottie, green seems quite dark compare to gen picture which i never saw beside on pics....but never mind.

heritage model not out yet, you can find the watchbus link on previous pages. The one that should come out, is the new Heritage with gold skinny minute hand.

Hi,

My opinion, comparing with the BR website

- The pinion should be black
- The minute's hand should have the stick shape, not the sword shape
- The second's hand should not have the rounded part
- Screws should be rounded on the edge, not so flat.

For the carbon orange, it should not have te "Swiss made" mention @6
For the phantom, the date should be grey on grey

BUT, they look great

Correct me if I'm wrong but old models have both hands in sword shape, you probably compared it to new model. But have to admit, I haven't compared them side by side so can't tell more.

You are comparing it with the actual version which has a ceramic case and the few differences that you mentioned.
In my opinion, that steel MT is pretty spot-on except for the bezel shape which is indeed taken from the ceramic version. What bother me the most is the dial/hands color, which seems too dark on the QC pics and pretty good on the watchbus pics ... I guess we'll need proper pics under different light conditions to settle the case. Even if you look at the pics on chrono24 and google, it can range from dark green to a lighter shade that seems closer to the new desert type ...

And the 03-92 carbon orange does have the swiss made mention @6 on a few pics I've seen and a gen one I tried at the AD once ... I think they just messed up the visual on their website

Yep, overall very good for a V1 try. Hopefully they'll keep updating until it's spot on. The two I ordered have already shipped, so I'll post or write a quick review when they arrive.

You picked them up from Josh or Sead?

Any idea how long it will be before the heritage is released?

holyshit finally they are back!

Anyone know if they are screw down crowns? I know the gen is not but what about the reps, I dont mind either way but I do like the extra water resistance of a screw down crown, even if it strays from the gen.

 

[Z3BR4]

Told Sead I want at least one.. I never guessed they would rep the one I posted as an example at the beginning of the thread. These really look great, and they have awesome movements to boot! Snagging the carbon Ltd orange and possibly a commando if I like the carbon..

 

[straycat]

Damn.... time to sell off my Gen 03-92 collection!

 

[shelby1501]

Any qc pics yet? I'm also getting at least one but I'm tempted for more. Probably it will be 1x 03-92 and 1x 123.

 

[argentinaCile]

One thing that i didn't understood: will be release also The 03-92 in steel?

Just ordered the orange one
I noticed one major error : hands are really too long... Does it correspond to an old model ?

 

[mini-mad]

Well done, I hadn't seen this one! Looks like they used br01 hands on the 03 dial

Damn true that. Looks like it's shorter on older model, although only minute hand looks too long, hour hand should be fine.

Good catch guys. This is almost 100% due to them repping the ceramic case. The ceramic top case has a thicker bezel, meaning the dial needs to be smaller as well. They copied the hands from the old steel models which have a slightly larger dial where the hands would have land correctly.

I wonder if this is something they'll fix as it seems like it wouldn't not be a quick/trivial change.

I think they look quite decent but we definitely need some clear pictures. Even toro took photos I can't quite tell and compare to gen. So let's see if Ryan at Intime will stock up on these as I find Ryan's pictures to be the best to judge if there are any discrepancies.
