Yes, as far as I know was the only major flaw with the old version.
Maybe they recycle old parts :hehehe:

Is this the only place the black 2016 is being seen??? I haven't seen it on Intime or anyone else.

So I just received my Black Bay blue shield and I like it a lot. In the dark there is no lume mismatch, in the light the hour and minute hands appear they may be a slight bit more yellow/greenish than the indices, but honestly once it has been in the sun and the lume is charged, that may be the biggest reason for that color difference. I really couldn't get that difference to come across well in a pic. Aside from that everything is great with the watch. When I have access to my calipers tomorrow I can measure how thick it is for sure. Here are two quick shots with my old phone camera.
QC approved. Now sit back and wait.

QC looks good to me. Who did you order from?
If you want to see some pics of my blue version I got yesterday I posted some pics here: https://forum.replica-watch.info/threads/order-from-andrew-trusty-time.381179/
It's already quite a thick watch. I have a gen and a PO and the BB rose dial is notable thicker than the LMPO. Not too thick but the extra thickness on the new shield version may put it in the "to thick' range for some

That's a gen NATO...no way rep strap can even come close to that.
As far as the bbr goes...just like another member mentioned, it is one step forward and two step back...shield logo dial is perfect and he bracelet looks nice but that lume color on hands vs hour markers is a deal breaker for me (the blue one probably does not suffer from this due to plain white fillings)...I can't believe they are still letting these flaws happen (same thing happened with the bronze version as well);especially when they perfected it on v4 and V5.

Wait so the rose version v4 and v5 doesn't have the mismatched lume issue? I thought it still did?

Nope, they did not (I owned both and neither had the issue...well at least my watches did not)

That new (and finally correct) blue bezel is gorgeous! I think your lume matching is great too (it would extremely difficult to spot it without magnifying it 100 times and spending a few minutes starting at it after
