Guys, apparently GF did produce also the bronze/brown version, check this out (known scam website, but usually shows reps before they are out with TDs):

https://www.chinanoobwatch.com/breit...ss-2824-2.html

What do you think? I'd like especially a comment from mauricio612 who bought the gen a few months ago

Thanks for the info. I was wondering if they would ever make the brown one and as andyr said seeral times, they probably truggled to rep that color

Honestly, from those pics I think they got the color, reflections and sunburst effect wrong.
It looks too dark, it has a touch of red, like a brown with a tint of red. The gen dial is more like a brown with a tint of green. Hard to explain with my English

Strap color is definitely too red. I am not good with colors.

Ceramic Bezel looks better repped than the dial in my opinion

I am afraid that both the blue and brown versions might be too matte, not shiny enough, without the lively colors the gens have. It seems much worse on the brown rep than it is on the blue one though


However, my impression is just based on pics and until I see my rep of the blue SOH2 in my hands next to my blue gen SOH, I won't be able to confirm that they got it wrong. I hope I will be impressed when I get it and that my impression is wrong

Also, AR seems a bit weaker than gens on those SOH2 reps

It's the magic of those colored dials, they change a lot depending on lighting conditions, especially on the gens

That's why we always say that ''go black if you want the safe option''

I've handled the gen blue a couple of days ago and took some pics, I can definitely confirm what you say about how lively the gen dial is. I'm still keeping my hopes high based on Trusty's video, where a clear sunburst effect is visible. A couple of weeks and I'll know, I guess.

Based on the datewheel, those are not from GF at all.

Completely agree, lets not sully GF buy thinking this one is theirs...date is off and it's a different size strap is 24/20 and it says produced by noob which is doubtful. From memory it's on some of the TD sites with no factory listed.

Datewheel position is completely wrong as well as font and there's no marker above 6 on the 42 so they've either used a pic of a 46 rep or just got the 42 hopelessly wrong.

Could anybody who have already received the watch take close up shot on that pearl on the bezel? I can't help but notice the ring around the pearl on the rep looks flat and thin compares to the gen.

No QC for me after 3 weeks!

Has anyone received a QC pic from a TD other than Trusty or intime?

Toro should have mentioned it before the payment like he did with me...

So my dealer said the factory had these ready by today. I would asume this means that all our other dealers besides trusty and Ryan can get them. Looks like I could have qc pics by tomorrow.
