The green looks great. Has anyone recieved their 42mm bls version? We need to see some real life pics.
I’m just waiting for my QC…7 days waiting now but it always feels like longerThe green looks great. Has anyone recieved their 42mm bls version? We need to see some real life pics.
I do not believe so, I have only seen it with the PT5000/ETA 2824-2 cloneDoes BLS offer the 42mm w/a Chinese eta clone or it's only PT5000?
Good point, I didn't see that yet as I didn't look them up yet. The strap is the same I think but I wonder if the bracelet from the 44 will fit the 42.Anyone have any idea as to if the 42 will be eventually offered with the bracelet like the 44?
That looks fantastic! Green is tricky. I got tired of Hulk and Breitling premier green but this is a little more muted and with a creamic bezel for some pop. The yellow sets it off. Is that your picture? Do you have any more?
Damn swapped already, was it no good or just an upgrade?TBH I did not even pay attention. I'll tell you exactly, with pictures, when it's back from the watchsmith. (having the movement swapped)
However I'm disappointed by the PT5000. I changed my mind about it : it used to be seen as a very accurate ETA clone, but it is the third watch where I have troubles with it. (2 reps, one gen) Too much variations according to the position. Maybe it needs service, but as for the others, I won't go into this trouble and swap it with t Seagull clone, which I consider now better.
I'd be interested in having your experiences, to know if the PT5000 which are used for reps are true ones or second choice.
Interesting. the Miyota 9015 is my least favorite. I've had problems with maybe 3 of the 8 or so I've had. And it just feels gritty when winding to me. I like the old 8215 series a lot better. I don't think I've ever had a problem with that movement and I have a soft spot for the little underappreciated engine that could, lol.It does not mean all have problems, it's just my experience.
These are reps, don't forget that.
Eventually the only movements I rely on 100% are the Miyotas... 9015 if possible.
And ST19 for chronos : I have some which held 10 years before being serviced.
