Kaiser 4 Posted April 17, 2013 IMHO the BP 5004 isn't much of a super rep. There are two versions of it. One of 'em is very accurate but with no working power reserve. Other one is less acurate but has a working power reserve. Correct me if I'm wrong though. I agree, I love my BP 5004 (the faux PR version) but I wouln't call it a super rep Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fana05 0 Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) The black dial Nautilus is actually a lot closer to the gen 3711 than the blue dial version is to the 5711 (except for that it's not white gold but stainless steel) Gray dial is closest to 5711, I think _DC_ will attest to that Edited April 17, 2013 by fana05 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fatarms 7,777 Posted April 17, 2013 In regards to the BP SubC, I've read good and bad things on it. I really don't see many members doing write ups on them here, and searching for reviews is damn near impossible since the search function doesn't allow for words less than three letters; searching for "BP submariner" returns invalid search terms. I wish I could read more about them, I saw a couple threads on RWI, but nothing that seemed like a consensus one way or the other on the quality and accuracy.

Bash64 17 Posted April 17, 2013 Awesome post, James!! We should sticky this one and find a way to update as things change (don't want to dump all that on you). Each of us tends to focus on an area of expertise and this helps to give a great overall picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James. 4 Posted April 17, 2013 Big pilot under review bp sub as echoed above, its damn hard to find a quality write up but the amount of attention and popularity of it put it on the list. If I can find some more info it too will be on review, and the RO just for captain Viking ill also update the hublot section with those recommended. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deju 1,873 Posted April 17, 2013 Top notch work to do this james! I wish the B&R BR03-92 was as "super A++++ uber swiss" as the BR03-88 though haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ldegeneve 0 Posted April 18, 2013 The ceramic POs are from BP factory afaik. Idk if they're super reps either since the lume color on the markers is pretty off...the pearl isn't great either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatarms 7,777 Posted April 18, 2013 The ceramic POs are from BP factory afaik. Idk if they're super reps either since the lume color on the markers is pretty off...the pearl isn't great either. I thought the pearl was one of the best things on them supposedly, with the clear glass coating over them? I also read they fall out of the bezel really easily. Then again, I've only read a few reviews, can't find many reviews at all. Also, I think the last I read, they were only available through TT and Sead over at RWI?

James. 4 Posted April 18, 2013 The ceramic POs are from BP factory afaik. Idk if they're super reps either since the lume color on the markers is pretty off...the pearl isn't great either. pics from review of the pearl i've seen aren't that bad (see below) and whilst there is a issue with incorrect spelling at the edge of the movement, it's obscured by the CB in most cases. The rep movement itself is a great leap forward too.

johnl 0 Posted April 18, 2013 I chose to go with a noob sub because of the inconsistent reviews I found of the BP sub. I love my noob but might need to purchase BP and do a comparison. From what I hear the "super sub" noob is out...... but will be even better in a few months after addressing a few issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
