Here's a good question for the Big Bang experts, help me make by decision ple...

Hey guys, been doing some research for a few days, n1smo's been super helpful with helping me narrow down the BEST option in terms of accuracy to gen and "less" flaws (not flawless).

So my two final options are as follows:

Intimes:
v6.5 Big Bang SS Black Dial Black Rubber
http://intime.co/product.php?id_product=957
-correct bezel teeth cause there are none *my intent was to put on an Ebay ceramic bezel with better tooth pattern in black.
-correct movement - looks engraved and no blue screws
-correct subdial at 6 (both 3 and 4 ticks existed on gen)

PT appears to sell bezel only with correct teeth as well?

Puretimes:

-correct bezel teeth

-correct subdial at 6 (3 ticks)

The crystal AR looks too strong on this one, I believe from what I read it should be colourless?

So what am I missing? I like the look of the Ice Bang, but if it has enough flaws (which ive missed?) I'll just go with SS. Any help would be appreciated, I'm trying to pull the trigger on something this weekend.

Think we discussed quiet a bit of this already.
Just one last thing regarding the AR.

The v6 had blue AR. v6.5 fixed that (colorless like gen).
But most dealers didnt change the description nor did they updated the images.

Nowadays every HHB declared as v6 should be v6.5 with right ar.
