swdivad Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Hey everyone... Just got my BBS in today... Beautiful watch for sure, but am wondering... Are your bezel and pushers/crown more black than the case?I have been looking and looking at mine and this is bugging me... immensely Can someone confirm (Lani ) that the gen is the same way? I have taken some crappy photos and a video that clearly shows them as a different shade, which I don't know if correct or not... Here's the video: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=jly9AdFYgUI And here are some shots (sorry for the quality): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexman Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 I think it's due to the lighting. I've seen pics of the gen which look the same. The light is reflected differently as the pushers are round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swdivad Posted December 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Well... It doesn't seem like the lighting, as if you look at it from the side opposite to the crown, the curvature of the bezel is virtually the same as the curvature of the case, and the finish is the same satinized finish... there is a clear shade difference between the case and bezel. Can anyone confirm that this is the same in the gen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That watch is next on my list to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 It is very much the "type" of lighting... weather direct sunlight or indirect light in the shade.. here is a pic of DBR's genuine.. exactly as yours is.. the pushers in indirect lighting are darker.. as if the roundness of the pushers enable the DLC to "absorb" the light and darken the brushed sides of the case will lighten to a shade of gray in the indirect light.. Look at the pusher @1:00 .. it is darker.. and the crown... where as the pusher @4 with more light on it is a lighter grey.. Now look what happens in direct sunlight.. it absorbs the light and darkens.. this is not a computer enhanced image.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
