I have been waiting for the Night Mission to come out/in for a long time now, I know some people have gotten it in the states but every time I ask it's unavailable. It must be very disappointing to wait such a long period of time for this watch, to have it fail almost immediately at the cost of 7k+. I was beyond excited when it was announced, and am beginning to change my mind completely.

Definitely not a good start, hopefully they will work out the bugs eventually and everything will be cool.

Hi there

I own since 2.12.2014 a brandnew awesome black B-50 beside my older B-1.

Unfortunately I registered a fault out of the box: Even I lock the screen (by pressing 3 x the crown) the watch beeps from time to time and change the (still been) "locked" screen to another function. The display shows then one of the next functions "up- or downwards". I am a little disappointed about this for a watch in this price-segment (even I would not be happy when a Swatch have the same issue)..

Another issue is that the "hour"-hand is not exactely to 12 while all others are exactly to this. The B-1 shows that it's possible!

The third issue is that the dial-indices are not all exact alligned with the "second"-hand... but this is peanuts compared to the other issues.

Any other with same issues?

Hi there. I've had my B50 for a couple of weeks now and it works very well.

I only have one small issue. Your 3rd point. The second and does not line up with the markets on the dial perfectly when it's beats. Is yours perfect now or still slightly off here and there ?

No, they even not fixed the second point... I compared last week with my old B1 which is perfect aligned: For me the evidence that's possible.

I have to mention that you have also to check your point of view! This let disappear some of the space you've seen before ;-)

But at 6-I-clock the angle of the dial is not 180° - maybe 178° or 179°. I guess it's a painting/printing-issue...

Absolutely a print error, by the sounds of it. We have seen this before with Quartz movements. No lash in train gear here. IMO, purely an alignment issue caused by inaccurate dial printing or something similar. Hard to believe it could be anything else, but I am always open to other reasonable suggestions.
