Best way to tell BCE ver.1 from ver.2


Recommended Posts

like the title says, would the best way to tell the diff between the two be looking for the minute marker next to the 10 on the 12 o'clock subdial? ver.1 doesnt have it and ver.2 does?

Yes, I would say that is the easisest tell. Also, the version 1 has "darker" hands.

The white dial version 1 has a more silvery white, which is more correct.

I bought a ver.1 white dial to swap it into my graphite dial ver.2

- ver.1 has not as much blue tint on the crystal imitating AR

- ver.1 has pearl slightly displaced and the "B" is not as nicely engraved.

- ver.1 has better klicking bezel though

- ver.1 came with wrong datefont

- ver.1 has wrong black hands

after the swap I had this:
