:facepalm:

Are you kidding ???

Nope, gen dial on the left, rep on the right.

Now that you said ir, the right one looks like it is flat and only the left one looks domed. I wouldn't be surprised if the big flaw on this one Will be a flat dial..?

God, I hope not...

(Awaiting bonesey to report back if they mention domed dials in the RG thread)
:)

Yeah they did mention the domed effect on the dial. Something I think they were working on, and perhaps also that the rep dial was just a shade lighter.

My biggest dilemma is going to be whether try to get on the first batch and hope they're good, or wait for the V2 which might have even more hype!

Rep on the left?

I know next to nothing about this watch, other than I want one... but the lume looks like crap.



Rep on the right... the gen has a rasised dial. One of the reasons this is taking so damn long.

Any chance this rep will be available with the distressed leather band?

I tried it on the leather strap and gotta say, that strap looks a helluva lot better in pics than it feels in real life!!
I would buy a vintage strap from any of our guys before buying the BB lesther strap, and tho Ii itially wanted to get it just for the deployant, I have eecided that it will be much cooler on a regular tang.

All this said, I do hope they manage to rep the sublime pattern/texture "nato" for it. Best strap I have seen for a while.
The a typical pattern puts it light yaears ahead of a regular nato/zulu!!!

Yup! The folks over at RG were struggling with the dial comparison pic as well. Very promising rep.

Let's hope their QC will be consistent

I hadn't seen this thread until today. Been looking at BB homages based on Seiko divers, but screw that! Super-rep to the rescue!

I hope they take their time and make this a great rep. I'd rather wait a few more months for a better product than get this one early and feel the need to buy a V2 next year. The pics look amazing so far! Can't wait to see a nice bracelet (get that clasp right!).
