All good points. I'd just add

- crown fit/finish not as sharp
- space b/w officially and certified still a wee bit too close for comfort
- engraving on triangle too deep
- pearl sits too tall and is glass covered vs sapphire
- BP bracelet is a piece of sh!t; sharp edges and mine even had crooked links
- loose pearl
- dial text print not as good as noob and far short of 3-dimensional print quality of gen
- crystals sit a bit high on some (but mine is OK)
- LEC too easily visible
- no plat in insert of course

With all that said, I still like mine enough. Will be getting it superlumed and plat modded by a forum modder soon.

Mine on the 'frane.

So these are other issues with Bp. Seems far from perfect. Who else sells them besides cartel

ok so the 2 reps i have, looking at them closely, one it seems that the bezel print is printed on the bezel where as teh other one is engraved and painted into.

on is raised, one is not, why is that....besides because its a rep and its noob etc etc

seriously, shouldnt they both be engraved into and painted

when i run my fingers over them thats where i can tell that one is raised and one is sunken

Despite all that you said. This BP Sub ND you have looks good!

Anyway after I have gotten into reps did I realise that other ppl dun really care so much abt the details of the watch I am wearing. And no one will really scrutinise the watch in minute detail.
I worn my pam and rollie and all I get was envy and thumbs up!

A rep will be a rep and little imperfections will always be there. Set! I will get the BP Sub ND!

Lovely rubber b

Thanks. Fuggin pearl came loose on day one. Thankfully I saw it coming out and superglued it in nice n tight. Bp must use a booger and a prayer cuz it did not take much to loosen.

Go for it! Spend the extra bux for a noob bracelet too. V1 or 2.

@ captaincaveman
Your No Date looks really great on the rubber, and solves the crappy bracelet issue.
I'm gonna et the BP No date and mount it on rubber, thanks for the idea.
