What I strongly dislike - and I'm far from alone in this - is their avoidance of competing with Rolex, and the annoying things that come with it. BB54 comes with slightly yellow lume and silly fake rivets on the bracelet, which are the reasons I'll sell it once something better is available. There are many other things like a slightly uncomfortable bracelet (it's okay, but I don't feel any sharp edges on Rolex watches) and a quick adjustment that's unusable for me because I need to set it at maximum length (Rolex glidelock is longer than a full link, allowing quick adjustments for any wrist size). Other people would point out different things, but over time you'll notice these things and they deduct from the experience.
