Looks like the new version of the BBB which kobe24 mentioned a few months ago is finally out!

What do you guys think? Printing on the dial seems better, with more of a 3d effect and better contrast. Nato is still not perfect but for 328$ it appears to be a good buy!

It looks to be a fantastic watch. When I saw the comparison photos between XF & Gen for the Bucherer edition I was very impressed. In my opinion the main thing holding back this version was the dial print colour. I'm glad that you now think it contrasts better.

Truth is I'm genuinely partly colour blind and am terrible with colours & distinguishing between them. I'm not a good judge of the dial colours.

I'm looking forward to reading the opinions of those with better eyesight. How is it? Dial print better? Popping more?

Ive been holding on to my gen NATO strap for this...might pull the trigger. It was this or the Harrods edition (or both most likely)

Every time I see the bronze I want to jump on it, but its tough to justify adding another black bay to the collection

Where do you see the upgrade in the dial?
Asking because my TD told me 5 days ago that on the brown version only the case was updated and dial is the same.
I was told only the blue version is the one that got a new dial + a new case

Do you see an actual change in the brown dial??

I think if you look at old pictures of the v3 and this new one there is a big difference in terms printing colour and 3d-ness.

Plus I'm confident that kobe24 was able to share our feedback to the maker, back in September last year
