If I were buying I'd have to go Asian Clone, if it's a keeper with a service it's as good as Swiss    

If they are anything like the other subs the dial/hands won't fit eta, I'd get the better movement instead for modding later 

If they are going to do a blue strap I'm in as long as they get the shade right 

I for one like it but do we think it should be on the list guys?   Dial looks good but it's missing the stone @ 7 and that's an obvious tell isn't it?

Glad to see they are doing a 42 LMPO, can't wait for that and the 42 CUPO  

Welcome Yontorque to the madhouse, let us know a bit about you mate, where are you located? What brands you into ? Etc Etc   Nosy aren't we! Just wanna make you feel at home mate 

Glad to see you getting one of these SS, I've got the older version without insert from him last year and the Gen insert went in no worries     As your Much better than me with a camera I can't wait for the pics    

List updated 

Congrats looks a great piece mate     I tried on one these last week and really liked it, another piece on the wishlist 

Good on ya Z    awesome looking mate !

FC for me today

It's normal mate don't worry especially this early on, my last order took 7 days to get Qc pics

Does this list include the new BP SD?

No it's not but it should be  thanks for pointing it out ! The BP Sub is there already so I'll add the SD in a mo 

Which piece you looking at mate?

 with cape cod or similar, after he noticed some fading on some of the numbers, which he wiped and they came off more, he then tried to clean it and it was uneven, so he evened it up. I don't know for sure how hard he went at it. I think I'll ask a dealer for a replacement insert to see just how durable these numbers are.

That sounds like the culprit mate, Cape cod can take Ar off too can't it?  That sounds like a bloody good idea with the insert, I keep seeing different pics of the bezel around the forums, some seem gen like in that they look grey and 'sealed' if that's the right adjective! Whilst some appear to be black and have a very dry texture/look to them, would be good to see if we could source a couple from td's to compare the finish too, I'll gladly chip in for one if we need to, I'm desperate to order one of these 

fucked

I was very near to commenting on this thread last night Arkon but I stopped myself, suffice to say that I agree with the guys above and you should let this go mate    

Good to have you here Geof, Welcome to the madhouse mate 

WoW 

Some pics by ianm yesterday which show the extent of the problem on the black bezel inserts, pretty shocking tbh, I expected better:

Really surprised at how bad these bezel inserts are fading. When originally bought the reps this sort of thing wasn't apparent on a new watch, then in the following weeks there were some pics on the forums showing pearl triangle fade etc, nothing extreme but still noticeable....These pics really show how extreme it can get. I'm pretty disappointed at just how poor that rep paint is. These seriously need a correction. The blue and orange don't seem to be having the same issues as the black.

 

Thanks for sharing these pics cougar, indeed that fading on a piece that costs so much to buy is pretty piss poor in my opinion. He did say he had tried to clean the bezel up a bit I just wonder what he used? Whatever it was it seems to have sped the process of fading considerably! 

I wonder if we will see an insert fs seperately for these pieces in the near future    at a bloody good discount I hope too ! Gotta feel for the guys who have bought these already

I've been holding back on one of these for the Asian movement version, whenever that comes, but with this bezel issue may hold off even longer. If they can get the blue and orange metal inserts right I'm sure they will get the Black Ceramic right too    with V2 I hope....

Awesome mate     great job, thanks for sharing !   

I really hope this gets off the ground mark, it's a great idea and I'm sure you will have lots of people using it too      

Congratulations on getting this one, looks stunning in your pics mate      Enjoy it !

I've found that Titanium feels really flimsy and cheap compared to SS when you first put it on, give it a few hours though and you forget that your wearing it  it has some great properties and is a fantastic material for watches !
