Hi everyone,

I'm contemplating buying a "platinum" dd40 with the blue Roman markers and I have a few questions.

Does BP make the dd40 I mentioned? I keep coming across the noob version.

I read through many pages but couldn't find anyone mentioning the differences between noob and BP daydates?

I was also wondering if anyone can comment on the quality of the clasp mechanism.

Thank you in advance to anyone kind enough to answer or direct me to the right place.

Yes BP makes that exact watch. There isn't much difference between Noob and BP. Looks wise Noob has a more accurate day wheel font but the letter spacing on certain days is not good. Also for the dials that have lume sticks the Noob version is made to thick but this doesn't apply to the watch you want.
Most people tend to go with BP bc the general consensus is that BP is the superior maker when it comes to DD. I can't personally comment on the clasp for the Noob version but I've had the BP plated and now wrapped version with no issues.

Any td can get the watch you are referring to.

I hope this helps!

Alright, after reading the entire thread for about 3 days, I've finally decided to go for BP YG wrapped DD40. Is this still available from the regular TDs? I can't help but look at pics posted by @Versaceboy54, they're just so nice.

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
@macccaz,

Can you post some pictures of it?

I'm also interested in one with olive green dial and presidential bracelet, just not sure whether to go Rose Gold or White GOLD.

Cheers

Looks like only the gold dial is available for the YG wrapped version :(

Anybody knows if the blue dial with roman numerals SS is more accurate with noob or BP in regards to the color of the dial ?

If you are wanting a different dial I would ask your td to see if the factory can install a different one for you. If they can't worst case you can order the dial separately and have it installed locally. I know for a fact BP does sell the dials separately.

Thanks man. Sent a message to Torobravo and he confirmed he does have it. Still on the fence if I really need it haha. But I'm very close to buying one. I'm gonna revisit the past pages and look at more pics to convince myself. [emoji23]

Just bought a DD40 "platinum" with blue romans , not sure if I've posted enough times here to ask specific advice on QC pics :(

Edit: nvm posted, I hope I didn't break QC policy since I am asking specific questions.

The Roman numeral 6 seems aligned to me. The QC pics I got recently for the BP Ice Blue dial was okay, except for the very huge coronet in the dial. Had to reject it, it was the first one I've seen with a coronet that big.

can you pull off a 30,000$ watch?

it just seems a lot of folks are buying these when they probably shouldnt; cheapening the brand.
I can pull off the watch, I just need the watch to not have any glaring flaws, which I haven't seen pop out at me.
Edit: Inner ring was misaligned, rejected the watch.

Thank you. I requested a couple additional pictures at an angle and with a higher number date to finalize my decision.
Edit: rejected based on misalignment in additional pics.

Why would we need to see the caseback, bracelet, crown, and side of case to tell you if the day is centered ?
For the same reason you responded to my question with a question and didn't provide an answer; it was unnecessary and poorly thought out

This one is more like 50,000 bc it's Platnium :)
