redroom Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 I just picked up one of these from another member and I'm absolutely smitten! I didn't see what the big fuss was about from the pictures but on be wrist it is spectacular! It looks fantastic with a navy or grey suit and great with casual wear also. It's also the highest quality rep I've ever owned. My question is how much better is the v2 expected to be? The one I have has been relumed and glows like a torch but I paid a premium for it and I'm wondering if I should sell it now while it is in demand and just wait for the v2 to save a few bucks (for another watch of course!). What are others thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Dazza Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Hmm is the actual V2 out or still just the V1.5 with some of the updates not all of them? To be honest I still think the shape of the pearl is off and the new thinner engraving on the crown is off. The V1 crown can be rounded and sanded slightly and it would be closer to gen than the new thinner engraved version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harryrod Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 (edited) Picked up my BB this morning and I am very happy. Fit and finish on the watch is very nice and with the exception of the pearl being a little off center, i think it looks dead on! I may consider replacing the bezel insert with a gen if i can find one, but it definitely will do for now. Here are a couple of quick snaps using my phone in the car Edited May 23, 2014 by harryrod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harryrod Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Had a slight problem with my BB last night. The bezel insert fell out! How is the best way to go about reattaching this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dazza Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Take the sticky tape off it and use some GS-Hypo Cement. If you want to make sure it doesnt come off again use a toothpick and carefully put some superglue around the edge of the bezel then place the insert into position making sure it is aligned properly before u push it into place. Remember less is more if your using superglue, the worst thing to happen is too put too much on and it squeezing out of the edge and through to the front of the insert.

harryrod Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Ill try that tonight. I had thought about superglue, but i didnt know if it would adhere to stainless steel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dazza Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Superglue sure does. Sticks like s**t to a blanket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwatch Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Hi, thought these were push-in and not glued. Would try to center that pearl while it´s off or get another insert if available. Both shouldn´t happen on a shipped $350 watch.Will stay happy with my V1. Easy to wear with any cloth and anywhere, just love the vintage looks with the gilt dial.

harryrod Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 i put the bezel back on with no problem, but i wouldnt know where to begin on how to fix the pearl. I would like to get a gen insert for it, but i havent had any luck finding one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dazza Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 the inserts are pushed in to a degree but if they come off that easily even with some sticky tape there I'd rather put some glue on and make sure it doesnt fall off again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harryrod Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 i like the watch, and the bezel looks like new now, but i think im going to sell it. Unfortunately i bought a CrPO the same week and ive gotten spoiled by the big size on it and even though the difference is slight i just like the bigger size of the Omega Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackflash Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Gen and rep, notice the poor print of the rose symbol. Hopefully something that will be improved with V3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
