You're welcome! I thought it was too until I realised tilting my head a little to offset the photo's tilt makes it seem fine. Hope it is!

Is that the BP model? I'm looking to get one in 316L from JTime. Pretty new to reps and only got the Noob V3 116500 Daytona so far but hoping the build quality of everything with the BP Explorer is a bit better. I know we just pay for the movement with the Noob. Anyway good luck with this watch!

Yeah, it is. I decided to go for the 904L version for resale reasons, I keep flipping them like a madman.. I've never had a BP watch that would feel like a quality rep so far. Noob, GF and especially JF/ARF have always felt way better/solid. BPs were always rattly and sharp around the edges. I went for this one because it has the best dial I've seen so far, but would choose an ARF in a heartbeat if they ever decide to get their act together :)

ARF judging by the 3 6 9 type.

Thanks a lot.
i worry about this dealer’s knowledge. I also asked him the datejust 41mm arf and he replied that it runs on the 3135 movement and actually 2824 ( what i know ).

I have checked on Intime and they have only BP 904L version, 2824 movement and it costs 358$. How much cheaper you buy the 316L?

I am waiting for QC of 316L BP version from JTime. It's $298.

Ho guys! I want to buy an Explorer I. So I have many dubts about it. Can I say the best movement between A2824 and SH3132? I am confused, the BP A2824 costs 258 USD and the ARF SH3132 478 USD. Thank you!

Where did you get offered the BP Explorer for $258?!?!?!?! The closest deal I got was $298 and this is for the cheaper 316L version. Please tell me this is a mistake lol.

The best movement is either the A2824 or A2836 (sometimes they say it has the A2836 for who knows why). They're more reliable than the Rolex clones.

Go for it! It's on sale it seems. Should have waited a week lol. I rejected the first one because of obviously misaligned indexes (pretty disappointed with BP).

Wow, talk about blind leading the blind, FFS...

Plus you're talking to wrong people if you can't get it under 298$. Just sayin'..

I missed the part where it said Noob on the site. The guy linked it saying it's BP so I assumed it was. Sorry no need to get mad ;)

As for < $298 for the 316L BP, can you perhaps offer the TD? All the ones I've talked to quoted $298. They don't have the 316L version listed on their websites so there's little transparency on the best price. Can you give me a hint how much it should go for?

Got my BP 904L version (2824) from Sead this week. Wow - amazing looking watch and feels great on the wrist. Thrilled with it. Now deciding on whether to buy the Gen or now, as this one feels and looks so good, then not sure I'll bother. Best rep I've bought yet.

Here we go. Gave the bracelet an oil bath when it arrived and feels great now. I've an ARF Daytona arriving later this week, so will be interesting to see how much better that bracelet feels, as I've not experienced one before. This BP feels excellent to me.
