Tony7777 Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Good find! Im in the market for a BP myself. From what Ive read you have two options with this model...a working PR but incorrect dial or a correct dial but faux PR. My observation is that the purists here have opted for the correct dial and faux PR. Based on the available rep movements its not possible to have both. Ive heard good things about Watcheden and with that $20 coupon its a better price than Andrew/Josh.

MADRED7 Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 OK...here you go: - power-reserve indicator is running but on a wrong position (a bit to close to the center) - datewindow is to close to the center as well - caseback is completely wrong.....this should be a simple caseback without the Limeted Edition....the original grey dial BP is white-gold anyway...not Platinum. - the price is 20% higher than all other dealers sell it You can now get the BP V1 with grey dial....fuax power-reserve but otherwise looks spot on.

Tony7777 Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 There you have it...I heard from a few sources that Andrew/Josh sell the best one. Reg (Narikaa) just informed me that he doesnt have them. Also check out Gorilla straps if you want to upgrade...really nice designs (albeit a bit pricey) Tony OK...here you go: - power-reserve indicator is running but on a wrong position (a bit to close to the center) - datewindow is to close to the center as well - caseback is completely wrong.....this should be a simple caseback without the Limeted Edition....the original grey dial BP is white-gold anyway...not Platinum. - the price is 20% higher than all other dealers sell it You can now get the BP V1 with grey dial....fuax power-reserve but otherwise looks spot on.

Tony7777 Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Yep its awesome when its completely modded out (despite the faux PR). Im sure it took awhile and some real coin to complete! Still, its the best one Ive seen to date! Also check out Lanikai's posts for the BP...he seems to know the watch very well!!!!
