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 :) I think the issue is almost non existent for the bbb

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


Sent from the RWI App
When i bought my bbr rose version a few months back I asked Lucy about the V5 version being shown by some dealers. She said there is no V5. V5 and V4 are the same watch from ZF, some dealers have decided to market it as the V5 probably to try to attract sales, but according to her they are both the same.

V5 = V4 with an extra free strap. Thats the only difference

How's the bezel action feels like on the new BB shield? Is it better compare to rose v4 or v5…

Just received my BB shield and here's a quick review.

SEL and the Bezel movement are my biggest disappointment.

The SEL has play and sits uneven on all sides.

The Bezel turning feels flimsy and has a lot of play once clicked.

Also the bridge seems knoisy when the you move your wrist.

And finally, the crown doesn't screw in smoothly. I will try to lube this a bit. Not sure with what yet, may be a drop on wd40.

Compared to the V4 I had, that felt much more solid and quality compared to this.

However, the dial print is perfect, no more defect on the rose (as it's a sheild!!).

With regards to the height, I think the case back is bulkier hence sits higher. The watch case itself I believe is the same. But I don't have my V4 to compare.

The rivet bracelet is very nice. And the lume colour is the same on the hands, dial and pearl.

Overall, I don't think this is a worthy upgrade from the V4, unless the Rose bothered you.

Awaiting my BB shield with black bezel .... hopefully your desribed flimsy bezel is only a one-off

This flaw cannot be seen in the pics :D but I suggest my dealer should notice and reject!

Received mine today. Lucky me i dont have the problems adressed some posts above. But it is fact, the sel arent that thight as they could be. Otherwise, bezel has no play, crown screws in nice and smooth and lume, dial and crystal are phenomenal. Tbh bracelet is nice but not as solid as Noobs Rolex V7 are. All in all, i am very pleased with this watch.
