Well… after an epic, 9 month saga… The navitimer has finally arrived.
like my previous franken chronomat, this A23322 has all gen guts (b23, dial, hands, slide rule and date wheel with prof Steve 2x AR) with BP case/bracelet!
I have to say that BP really nailed this rep honestly. There are just slight inconsistencies on the dial. The arrow thing above applied 12 indices is printed on gen and applied on rep ( I do believe I’m seeing this correctly..) The logo is not as brilliant and pronounced on the rep dial (for the blue dial anyway). The rep dial is a bit greener in tint than the gen dial, but I ABSOLUTELY see their thought process behind why the dial has that greenish tint… The sub dial color is almost spot on too as the gen sub dials also have that kinda creamy tarnish silver type look. It’s a bit exaggerated on the rep dial but again, none too far off…
The case is super accurate dimensionally and so forth..
Id say if you throw in a 7753 to have proper datewheel and operational chrono, the black/white BP rep is a super satisfactory franken….
Just my thoughts…
So glad the saga is over!!
