  1. I like it but this new BB has lost its vintage look , at the same time giving a fresh clean look that will appeal to the modern sub fan as well slightly leaning towards the pellagos styling a little bit more !

     

    I have not seen in the flesh a gen BB but i find my rep BB very had to get to grips with the so called big crown the ribbing needs a bit more bite i find my fingers slipping when winding the watch or screwing tight the crown i would have liked the crown to have been slightly bigger to match the big case !!!

  2. Super Im glad i ain,t the only russian military sub owner these watches are tough as nails and have a charm of there own !!! 

    here are my vintage military subs !!!!

  3. Guys will a yuki snowflake dial fit all of the eta movements??

     

    I have a 2783 in my watch that has a refinished dial and don't want to make a mistake in ordering a 9411 dial for a 94110 if there is a difference.

    snowflake gens have eta movements i fitted a 2783 in my blue snowflake  no date , 94110 is the no date and 9411 is the date sub  my 2783 fitted ok with the gen spec tudor dial you should be ok although there may be some etas with slightly different dial feet i found

  4. Was not going to go Gen on this one but with all the problems guys are having may have to.

    The watch is not bad really ,well finished and does have a gen like feel in the flesh, but with the usual (rep) problems that go with this hobby my view is, ok gens are high priced and in my opinion not worth the money for a wrist watch, but with these rep prices pushing up to 400usd shipped with asian movement i expect a watch that actually works and in sound condition , and not have parts falling off,  ok i dont expect it to go down to 200 mtr depths 

    My BB looks super and working well now after my repair and service although it should not need such work when it is a brand new watch despite these problems the watch compares well to the gen even though there big price difference  i would suggest owners with movement problems to drop in a gen 2824-2 ETA the watch deserves it !!!
