Well i got my two BSS watches today , i ordered the white and blue cause i couldnt decide which i liked best, and still cant , lol the white is actually a silvery white color and is very nice looking, and the blue is a pretty deep blue but the ar coating makes it bright blue in different lighting
right now im wearing the blue one and it will probably be my choice cause i dont have many blues and my madison said daddy i like the black one, lmao and i tried to convince here it is blue but she still called it black , lol
ok first thing first, it feels like it is built like a tank, the braclet is nice but needs a good polishing , not quite as nicely done as the BCE but only because it is not polished finish like the BCE , also they put those cheap arse pins in it to hold the braclet ,so it sounds like some change jingling in your pocket , lol i installed thicker pins and it is nice and snug now , lol detaill people details , lol the engraving is nicely done but they went a hair deep on the letter g but no biggie really , i guess they got carried away with the engraver , lol
it appears the pearl is a little more greener tinted than the markers r but i still dont think it is up to SL specs. and the markers seem to have a textured finish on them , i guess i need to get the lume out , lol (also on the blue dial it appears they made the lume a bit wider on the right side markers than they did on the left side ones, lol but again i know i was reluming this baby) the white one is more uniformed , they must have used a newbie to lume the blue one , lmao
the dial is nicely finished and looks very sweet , the datewindow silver outline seems to be pretty correct, some said it looked bigger in the pics than gen. but i dont think it does (pics can be decieving sometimes, lol)
the bezel is done up nicely but havent figured out yet how to remove it (in gen. u just unscreww all the little screws around it and pull it off but it doesnt seem to be the case on this one, bummer, seems like it would be easier doing it the way gen. does) but appearance is nicely engraved and pretty much spot on and turns nicely as well
caseback is awesome looking, the sides r nicely done , overall for me it would be stupid to buy the gen. for 2 grand when u can get this one for under 500 bucks with basically the same movment (not hardly any difference to me) other than the few little things
i usually tend to only buy a rep that at least cost 3 grand or more but i guess this one caught my eye and now im glad it did
also the ar coating is nice but i dont think it is double sided or it could be the crystal is so thick u cant see it as good , but in the light u see it just like my BCE (but defintiely better than most of our reps)
now here r some pics of it for u
the first one shows the ar coating blocking out the outside shine
ar shot on the blue
sideview for the blue on the wrist
white dial
so u can see the lines in the dial r good
side view shots for u (sry bout the fingerprints )
caseback engravings nicely done
clasp engraving with the deep letter G , lol
some lume shots (sry the pics didnt come out that great it is actually better than the pics show)
i hope u enjoyed my pics and i hope this helps many with there questions about the watch
