Here's my V2 with a gen crystal, crown, and spring bars (can't be seen obviously).

Pretty much as close to gen as I can get. Still need to do the paint mod and put in a new pearl though.

wep,,,,the cg's is just one more reason i used the BP in my build..... every one to start thought i was nuts to choose the BP case set over the v2 but the more this is investigated the more reasons will continue to mount..... while the noob is definitely a higher quality and better built watch,,,the BP is more accurate to gen..... however all of this is mute if the insert problem isn't solved....

As far as I can tell the CG shape looks good on both the BP and the Noob.

On the Gen the CG's are approximately half the length of the Crown. The BP pretty much matches this, whereas the Noob is just wrong.

The Noob does seem to have a lot right though, i suppose the ultimate sub lies in a combination of the two.

What would that be ?


BP Case
BP Bezel with Noob Pearl
BP Dial and hands (the BP hour markers look better).
Noob DW ?
Noob crystal
Noob Bracelet

Far too much trouble for me to be going to, my blood pressure only just got back to normal after swapping BP hands onto a Noob SubC. I'll stick to the V2 for now, of all myreps it's the one that feels nicest, and 9/10 people would never be able to see all these things that we notice through 20 x magnification of photo's.
