thank you!
I will do a review next week if you want to follow me.
and for some reason the factories send out that brown leather instead of distressed black like the gen

To be honest the gen strap is a bit of a let down - the distressed / aged / patina is printed on it - assuming its the same treatment as the red. Looked a bit wierd.

This watch needs a nice hirsch liberty, or a perlon nato. Will look out for your review!

No Way! That makes him an even bigger asshole, plus a thief to boot! I wish the contestants had pressed charges! This guy is similar to a mini "Quartz Crisis" [emoji17][emoji17][emoji17]

Haha the "mini quartz crisis" is that he calls his watches Luxury even tho they are cheap quartz movement and plated gold

Nice watch but the rose on the dial is still an issue. Looking forward to the new Black Bays with the shield logo, Angus posted they should come out soon.

Well I just did a quick comparison and now I'm kinda pissed to see the left side of the rose on the dial is effed up. Pretty disappointing

Dude seriously it's so insignificant. You can't see it without a loupe. Additionally the only weirdos who know that are right here on this forum

Haha true. But I have one anal friend who works at watch store and always looks at watches under a loupe. Idk why lol
But also don't know how hard it is to finish drawing in the other freaking half of the rose pedals. Seems so silly all the shit they can replicate but not that logo? [emoji848]

The replica makers are well and truly silly, no doubt about that. Why do they go to all the trouble of engraving 1000+ sh3132 movements and not use a dictionary to figure how to spell the words

I have the red and the blue versions and they are great watches.

Don't sweat the rose printing it's sooooo minor that if it worries you that much you can always discuss it with your therapist anyway:giggle:.

I run the red with leather (aftermarket) and the blue on the bracelet.

Enjoy your BB!

yeah the rose is the one problem with these.. Nothing we can do! Look forward to it. For a second I thought you got a Black Bay Bronze (bbb) too

Haha no black bay black. And I guess if no loupes are around and no macro shots taken no one on earth would notice. And it gets confusing because there is Black Bay black, black bay bronze, black bay dark black??? Etc.

Be sure to let us know how you like that nato. Would love to get my hands on it out of curiosity

The Nato isn't too good, the fabric is rough and the buckle is sharp and uncomfortable and the watch head is a touch too heavy to be used on a nato IMHO so it tends to roll on the wrist unless you have the strap tight.

An aftermarket perlon nato is just as good as the real thing. And remember the real thing isn't a proper nato!

You know, i may actually prefer the rep of the original eta version of this. The case of the in-house version / 2016 is too damn tall for a no complication piece.

That's too bad. I wonder if getting a gen strap would be worth it then?
I think it looks really slick the way they've done it.
