The watch looks fine to my eyes but if you don't want any glaring flaws then your going to want to change the day wheel bc the font is not correct to gen!

If anyone can help with my QC pics I'm posting a few here. My main concern is if the day looks aligned and up to standard and if Roman numeral 6 is centered.
Seems to look great to my untrained eyes.

Love this one.

Does BP do customizations? I would like one with the same dial but in Rose Gold and the numerals too in rose gold.

If not, is it an easy customization (I would go for a Rose Gold with the Olive Green dial, and then change just the dial to this one)?

Cheers

theres probably a reason Rolex doesnt offer that scheme.

Actually, Rolex offers a very similar scheme with the pearl master 39.

It's the default scheme on the Rolex site.

Well, that certainly is a handful, to say the least

atrocious as i expected.

nor is this a daydate.

i dont think thats the ice blue bezel either.

Ha ha ha ha.

I guess horses for courses, really.

My wife loves it to bits.

I mentioned it was a pearlmaster, not a day date.

And I know the dial is a different color, but I think its hue is close enough.

Cheers

Hi everyone,

I'm asking for help again as they sent me another watch with QC pictures for the BP DD40.

The day does not seem to fit in the window, I'm not sure if that's the picture angle. I'll be requesting additional pictures with different days and a higher number date. What do you all think?

I included a side picture because I noted the end links are not lined up with the case, is this normal?

I've always bought reps in person prior to this so I definitely need some help from the more experienced folks here. Should I accept this watch? Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

Yes it looks like the day text is sitting at the bottom end of the window. I would suggest requesting for pics showing different days as well.

Day definitely seems a bit low. As for the endlinks, I think your referring to the corner? That could just be the that bracelet isn't attached properly.

Would a low sitting day be sufficient grounds for rejection? It seems like a dead giveaway to me. Im waiting on more pictures in order to get a better idea.

Edit: received additional QC pictures, what do you think?

Cool. I ordered the same watch from Toro but mine's a BP. On it's way to me right now. How do you like it so far?

Hi, I just got it today / just resized the bracelet and put it on my wrist, but definitely think it's great!

I did read that the Noob olive green is not even close to / as deep a green as gen; BP is better for the coloured dials.

I've never seen a gen dial; but personally I do enjoy the Noob green dial and it does look different under different lighting (it has the shimmery textured effect coloured dials are supposed to have)

It's quite a comfortable watch on the wrist / feels solid but not too heavy like the rep AP ROO I got (I have skinny wrists) / the bracelet feels quite smooth (not "sharp-feeling" like the rep AP SS bracelet)

I got Noob because I really didn't like the BP day font lol, and I don't know enough to swap it out myself [emoji24]

Caveat for the above is that I am a newbie and just enjoy the looks of reps / not technical / not very fussy either! :p

That's alright, at the end of the day it's you who should be enjoying the watch and not anybody else. There will always be flaws but we have to choose the ones we can live with. :)
