Anyone know when the 'Barakuda' will be released?

Maybe end of this year or beginning of next year

Nearly 2 years later. Still no 40.3mm models available. Any updates?

Count me in... Waiting on that 40mm milspec.

This looks promising.
Anyone have a picture of what the base movement looks like?
I hope it’s not a deco movement.
That dial is really good.
Following this thread!

Same story here bud.

If they have those clone movements in it, that's a deal breaker for me

I'm uneducated when it comes to Blancpain movement reps - could you elaborate?

well aside from the hideous appearance, I'd imagine they are a pain to service.
If they are even worth servicing, does anyone know the reliability of these clones movements?
Actually I think its a deco plate over top of an Asian clone. I feel like I recently read something about this.. it might be in this very thread , maybe a few pages back. Can't remember.
Website says Asian 23j automatic movement.. I dunno what it is

Ok, thanks! The deco plate on the clone doesn't look the cleanest, but hey, even the genuine milspec rotor looks a bit cheap compared to the rest of the watch

much ado about nothing....

both roughly 2 -2 1/2 years old, I can pick them up, set the time , give them a shake, and they'll work just fine-
Whether the deco plate bothers you from an accuracy POV is another thing. I don't care at all....

I prefer a model with a closed caseback

Any updates on the 40mm models? milspec in particular?

yeah I guessed there just must have been no news worth sharing, but it's been months since the last update so I figured I'd ask. hoping that ZF is still working on it and hasn't abandoned the project. I reckon the AP's, Tudor's etc are probably higher up their priority list to pump out first before they tackle the BP's. hopefully we get some news soon.
