Will do bro, I will try to take some more today :) I did that exact thing to help offset the cost!

Also, I don't know if I posted these comparison pics in this thread but here is a before and after when I installed the prof AR:

Idk but the 2x AR takes away from its gen appearance

Why didn't you install the Gen crystal as you were originally planning?

Why nobody buy a diamond bezel or dial DD40? Are the sapphire stones not good?

I am targeting this as well! Is this the Noob version?

Was comparing the Noob vs BP version and the BP dial looks too dark green to me.


Received mine today! :)

I must say, the Noob day wheel font is the best looking one so far.

I know it does. I'm still conflicted about it to be honest and still may change it. I looks great in person but your rite it does take away from the gen appearance.

I really liked the look of the 2ar on my APs so I wanted to try it on the Rolex but I still may swap it for gen. Rite now I'm trying to get a correct font day wheel.

I actually think the EW day wheel is better then Noob. If you look closely at the Noob some letters for the days like Saturday are spaced oddly.

How much does a gen crystal for the DD40 go for?
What about the date font? Good enough?

Nope, this is the BP :) The dial isn't that dark green tho, especially not when its in the sun [emoji1360]

You're right, I actually forgot about the EW Factory ones. Are those any good yet?

Just got mine yesterday, the LEC is unreal!! Very difficult to capture it properly so this is the best I could do... used a pocket microscope with LED, had to take a video adjusting the focus and took a screenshot from that. You have to see this with your own eyes, it looks so clean and perfect I'd say it's nearly identical to gen. You can't even see it with the naked eye at all; I have a BP 5 digit sub and the LEC on that is visible from certain angles if you look for it but you literally cannot see this thing at all without magnification... and when you do, holy shit!!! It's so clean I can hardly believe it. I was actually disappointed for a moment thinking I got one without the LEC, then I took a proper look and BAM!!!

Still not comparable to what your eye can see, but still better.

Yes the lec on the BP is very good. If only they could make the cyclops perfect!
