According to another TD, that is the old insert though. The new batch that I showed a pic of in another thread is far worse than the one on TB's site. I hope they still make them that good...

Oh ok, I did not know that.

Well I hope that the TD was wrong, but then again, why would he... I really like that BP, it's a good rep for less money. But if the insert looks like the one I saw, nah...

It's just that I don't want to order a watch just to find on the QC pics that the insert looks awful. Can't really ask for a replacement then, since probably all of them now look the same. So I'd hope someone else could order one first to see :D

Well, a lot of people like it, and Smoke is a mega-expert.

But there are other options open to you, BP do a not bad Kermit with the trusty 2836 movement.

What’s wrong with the insert?

And what are you guys thoughts on a direct comparison between the BP and the JF? Any noticeable flaws differences or is it just the movement?
Swaying towards an Asian 28** above a 3135 just in case... @smoke


Tc would be the best kermit sub.failing that you could get a jf 16610lv no rehaut engravings with sh3135 movement

I have the JF and have had it side by side a gen Black sub. Yes the engravings are a bit different but no way you would even notice without having it side by side and comparing it. On my wrist I think it’s fine. Also I did have to service mine about a month after getting it. I love it and it’s quality is great. I don’t care about the rehault so much after seeing in person, not a blow up pic just how minimal the engraving difference is

When you say you had to service a month after - it stopped working or lost time? If so how much?

Yes needed service. There was a rotor winding issue but it was worth it. It’s a very very good rep

So there you have a lot of knowledge summed up.

Best you can do for a 16610LV is a JF without engraving and send it for service immediately.

$600 is still a f-ton cheaper than gen.
