Looks good to me. You're just getting OCD with it. I do the same thing. You'll find many things that are tells but that's a good rep if all you paid was $160 or whatever.


Oh the spring bar remover tool you pictured should work. I have the same one. One of the smaller forked ends will fit but it's not easy. Took a bunch of wrestling to get my band off.

Tape up the area around the bars if you don't want to scratch it. I rushed in to mine and have a few scratches but I wanted to soften my case up anyway.

Village, of course
don't listen to the tds bro.they only sell watches

that's quite a big advice to give about our TDs, especially coming from a 1 month old member. should they trust you then? or maybe you have plenty of purchases as personal experience so far??????


but you said only 3........



you do bear a uncanny resemblance to someone..........hmmmm......what's that nick again......

ThxUK, bezel play is NOT normal and would be unacceptable to me coming from a BK V3. The V3 is arguably overpriced I begin with, and BK's V3 is even moreso! I would certainly not settle with that large of a flaw at that price point, especially because you could probably order a new v3 today for hundreds less with everything perfectly aligned as BK does.
BK is an awesome seller and a very understanding individual. Reach out to him if you can't manage to fix it yourself. I would assume that issue occurred as a result of a poor re-installation during the crystal swap.

Hello sir with the blue AR, simply buff the the cyclops with wadding polish, I use eagle one from an automotive shop, then wipe the wadding Polish Clean with a jewelry cloth...I use Blitz .....this will reduce the blue hue to tolerable level

Thanks!! Great tip.
Also, seems the lume is blue when charged by the sun and more green when charged by certain flashlights

I agree, i have found the lume is close to a true blue under normal conditions..but when you blast it with bright light, ie: holding the watch 20mm from a light bulb, the lume is more green/blue-aqua
