Chrono seconds hand was too short on the old (otherwise very good) replica. Newer replica has a terrible pearl.

Hi, Thanks to you both for the prompt reply.

I have been around the forums since my first B'ling this might be my third, but I haven't come across a 'Terrible pearl' as a term before. What's it referring to?

Cheers,

"A picture is worth a thousand words" :wink:

Old rep - note bottom half of chrono seconds hand does not reach the 6 sub-dial. This is the best way to identify the old replica.

New rep - the lume dot on the bezel ("pearl") is a hideous blob!
