Guys can you share some opinions which version BP or Noob has more gen looking dial for SS/ice blue dial/blue roman numerals, examples down:

What I have read and found here and TDs sites BP is better choice with more things done correct except the day font. On that certain model for me Noob is looking closer to the gen DD dial.The hue of the blue dial and roman numerals is very different at least on the pics above.

I prefer the Noob one, looking way sophisticated, because Dial is more subtle.

 

[p.sweden]

how about getting the steel looking more "white gold", like making it darker?
is it even possible?

 

[macccaz]

Judging from the thread RG with olive dial is best in BP and not Noob due to dial colour?

Could the day dial from a Noob be inserted into a BP model, this seems to be the main flaw.

Good question! Hope someone chimes in

I think you mean the day wheel not day dial?

Yes it should be able to be installed in the BP but the Noob version has spacing issues on certain days. If you look at Saturday for example it's looks like"Sa t urday". I think all the Noob day wheels have this issue.

Sorry yes ment the day wheel.

I've got a BP RG/Green incoming and was thinking of getting the Noob (once back in stock) to test this out.

Hi guys, I saw this picture online and was wondering:

1. Are these gen?
2. Is there a rep of the right one(the rose gold), and which rep is the best one at that? I did not see it at my dealer..

Anyone know the answers?

I am not an expert so take this with a grain of salt but I have spent a ton of time researching DDs for my ultimate franken build. The watch on the right looks like a TW Best or perhaps an MBW judging from the crown size. The one on the right looks like a BP 40MM to me due to the bezel and DW. But again I am no expert.

I'd love to see it if you do

How does the plating hold up? About to buy one but wanted to know if someone who has had it for a while can tell me. Im going to buy the 36mm BP version though. Thanks

My BP RG/Olive arrived today and its stunning.

Waiting for the Noob to be back in stock and i'll get that too. Hopefully the swap will work as the day font is all that lets it down

What are the differences between the two? I can't decide which to get.

BP - better dial
Noob - better day font

Both big flaws, whichever you can live with. For me the day font is the lesser of the 2 as the dial of the Noob is way off (with olive dial).

Thanks, however your saying 2x right. Do you know which TD has the rose gold black face version?

Anyone got a link for the rg bp Dd40? I can't find it on td websites

 

[Therion666]

Does anyone have any natural light wrist shots of the BP DD40 with silver and grey dial?
Is the grey dial dull?
I can't make up my mind and the pics on TD's sites aren't very helpful..
I'd like it to be shiny and sparkly

http://www.tb-688.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=39_213&product_id=2161

I would also like to know if there's a noticeable physical difference between the A2836 and the Swiss version? Is the "Swiss" movement actually a new one or an old refinished job like usually? Is it worth the difference in price?

@Versaceboy54 : you seem to be the fountain of knowledge on this subject, I'd really appreciate your thoughts

Check Andrew at trustytimes site. He usually posts good quality videos of each watch.

I did. Artificial light, can't tell really. Is any of those two more gen like than the other?
