Im going to correct myself on this - when I wrote this, it did not sit well with me - so went to see what I can find. Based on this it appears that when MT5602 was introduced, its when the straight writing got applied - so Im wrong.

I've never told anyone not to buy a BB36. Especially the blue one. It is a lovely piece. It has its quirks like the weird crown, but it is the perfect balance of elegant and sporty. I passed on it for one simple reason - my brain can't comprehend paying 4 figures of money for a time-only watch. I use the date complication a lot in my day to day. If the BB36 somehow had a date, I'd have bought it already. Probably would've had both the black and blue. Its a great way to enjoy Datejust classiness with a hint of old Explorer for less than £2k (Chrono24/used/almost new).
Oh nice! Is that the fitted vulcanised rubber for the BB36? I'd love to see a photo if you have one.
Yeah, it’s the fitted one. Really seamless, fantastic design! A couple pics from a few weeks back. Also able to fit the Tudor deployant clasp to the rubber, which is awesome. (But upside down logo for the way I prefer to wear it)
I tried one on today (yay for booking a meeting a few doors down from the boutique 👍).
I really liked it. The silver dial almost scratches the itch for an everyday watch like the aqua terra. The blue definitely looks sporty to me. No black dials in stock, special order only. Based on the photos elsewhere in this thread, the black dial looks much more sporty than everyday as well.
Seems to be a grest alternative to the 36mm explorer since you still cant seem to get one at an AD 😒
