What is the best B&R out of box?

Hey

I have the BR02 chronograph and it's close if you ask me.

From what I can tell the flaws are:-

1) Triangular lume marker at the top of the dial is not as 'clean' as the gen.

2) Dial color is not as deep black as the gen (this could be the AR though)

3) This is the big one for me.... the chrono pushers have flat polished ends whereas the gen have hexagonal holes cut into them

4) I may be nuts but the rep looks a little smaller to me. Not as 'long' as the gen. I was looking at one in an AD the other day and it looked bigger. Mind you my one is on the nylon strap which alters the look a lot.

5) According to my dealer it is splash proof and not water proof. Which pisses me off a bit given the fact that it is a DIVING watch. As in diving in the WATER and not what seems to be a prerequisite for any football player in the EPL:)

6) Lume. Not as good out of the box.

Oh and while I'm at it.... anyone know where you can get a case for the BR02. You can buy one from Pelican but it's not the same?

Put it this way. You'd have to know the gen really well to spot the rep. The big tell is the chrono pushers (if anyone knows a fix for this I'm all ears:)
