Looks stunning but I can't help but feel that the strap is missing jusssssst a bit.
The price difference between this and the new 2016 BBs might be the deal breaker for me. I'd rather wait for the steel bb, especially if it's more in the normal sub 300 dollar range.

Is it me, or has this got same problem as early V1-3 the rose version, as in the lume on the hands is different colour than the indices... (more green/yellow) this upsets me, I was waiting for this or the new steel bezel version. looks like I'll have to hold off till been fixed. I had the Gen but sold it due to how close the V4 was, and then sold that in antispation of the new shield version... grrrr
It shows in the pictures on intime as well, the ones on Puretime are taken very brightly so dont notice it.
@English Gent. Does that mean that the lume shot will show up with different colors?
Does the difference in thickness from Gen to Rep also bother you?

Im guessing the hands are made at different factory, or old ones, no idea thtas just speculation, if its new lume, both will shine the same I guess.
not bothered about thickness, I like the old thickness on leather.
but, I had to have my v2 Rose style relumed at cost of over £100, as once you see the mistake, you cant un see it. fingers crossed for the steel bezel one.
Looks nice! The new NATO strap looks great. Did you also get the rivet bracelet?
Can you send a side view? Still need definitive confirmation the thickness is as per gen.
I'll upload more pics when I get a chance. It came with the rivet bracelet but I swapped it for the gen Tudor nato. The quality is nice and I think they matched the blue perfectly.
