·Are you not used to having an opinion completely opposite to the rest of us? 😝
Well yes, I guess I should be used to it by now. But in this instance it seems so obvious that it looks awful... surely I can't be the only one.

·Okay so you remember my wife bought the lady douchebag last year... well when it arrived I clocked that bit of the dial and I actually thought it was a manufacturing fault. So I checked pictures online and realised they all look the same. 🤮

·Watch on wrist reminds us about the prestigious fact that the new watch has a manufactured movement. Good, I would never purchase a watch with a movement that isn't manufactured.

·Managed to have a look a at the blue diver & GMT and green diver, apparently the green GMT wont' come out until August.
I noticed something weird with both blue and green divers, their colour live vs through the lens is quite different, probably due to lighting as well(although I've noticed the same in videos and photos in the wild). The blue one takes a more purple hue through the lens, while the green one looks more like a grayish green whereas live it's a more vibrant green. I've noticed the same effect with the green Breiting Chronomat GMT.
The difference in the shade of blue between the diver and GMT is much bigger than the renders would lead you to believe.
That being said, I much prefer the shade of blue they chose for the GMT, not only is it my opinion a more beautiful shade, it also tones down the wave effect a bit due to it being darker, so it's less in your face. I really would've preferred if the the divers had the same shade as the GMTs.
I like the bezel feel of the GMT but the diver disappointed me quite a bit. The is too light to turn for my liking and also the ratcheting between the individual clicks is not very well defined. The blue Aquaracer also seemed to be a lemon, the date was not centered properly throughout and the crown didn't pop out properly to the handwinding position once unscrewed. It either didn't pop, or skipped the handwinding and moved to date setting (this has been brought up in a German review as well). The green and GMT didn't have this problem.
Would've preferred if the ring of the GMT hand near the base of the pinion would've been left unpainted.

At least your green photo looks green, mine came out almost black!

·The non popping crown does make you wonder whether this is just a dressed Calibre 5 Sellita once again, as my Calibre 5 has the exact issue of not popping most of the time.

maybe TH have finally started heading sw200s finished to their spec rather than buying the cheapest ones? Didn’t breitling/iwc do this before they went manufacture?
Jim, we’re going to need you to do science!
