sander Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Today I received my new BP (V1) from Andrew and when I unwrapped it, I noticed a spot on the middle of the crystal. I took a cloth and tried to wipe it off. Instead of disappearing, it got bigger and bigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolDool Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Advice for everybody get a better strap! Advice for people with small wrists, get a SHORT gen strap! I got one for my girlfriend and it fits me perfect as well. It's a nice watch can't wait to receive mine sorry to hear about your AP, but, thanks for the advice i'm going to see if i can't get gen strap any chance to know how much you bought the gen strap for your gf ?

Guest Sql_pl Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 You got that strap WITH gen buckle for 230 eur? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sander Posted September 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 You got that strap WITH gen buckle for 230 eur? no no no.... strap alone. The clasp is about 300 eur I think. Mine is already a few years old. The rep deployant is really accurate though and would do for me if I didn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jot9011 Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 The watch is nice. Maybe a good reason to send to Chief for some AR treatment. You're right about the strap, it's impressively bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alant Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Thanks for sharing sander appreciate that. I like your pics & looks like I'm another step closer to getting the BP. Just that now I have to take note of the AR and the strap. By the way may I know what is the length of the gen strap, is it 145mm x 52mm? I have a small wrist too.

The small strap is really perfect for my wrist. I use the hole in the middle now. The short side is the same as the Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwee Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Hi, Very nice BP! the more I look at it, the more I want it. On yours, the recess date issue doesn't look that bad. Can I ask if this is a big issue, is the recessed date very obvious? This is the only thing holding me back from buying one. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake48 Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Got the new BP too. Awesome watch! I nicked the edge of the bezel and went to polish the nick out. Having read your post and being familiar with the low quality of Rep AR I was real careful not to get any polish on the crystal... Just the action of me polishing the bezel edge and allowing the polish cloth to touch the crystal slightly while I polished the nick out removed a large area of AR. BE CAREFUL! Looks like it is off to Chief for the real deal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rower Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 I got a BP from Josh and the AR on it just wiped off. When I contacted Josh he said I could return it but I'm afraid that the same thing would happen with the next one. I could send it out for AR but I haven't tried that yet. The quality control issues are so frustrating. I got a Breitling Skyland from Sead and I was very impressed...can't see even one quality control issue.

vaccum Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 I agree, Chief double AR is the best and makes a huge improvement on this watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
