I have this weekend rec'd my rubberclad ROO from Silex. It is technically superb. As evidence of this:

*Wheel date surround blacked out like Gen.

*Lum appears excellent, no 'blue-cheesing'.

*Resets exactly to 60 on Tach.

* !!!PVD: I'm not treating this as a beater nor am I coddling this ROO, but the PVD has not scraped, chipped or peeled although it is early days.

I was in LA this weekend and ventured into WT to look (on Rodeo Drive no less)!!! at a Panerai and was only complimented on the ROO by staff there. It is a black faced Rubberclad that to me strikes an elegant balance. People that know watches will recognize the watch, but otherwise it does not 'scream out' and I like the 'discerning' aspect of the Rubberclad. Personally I have no interest in impressing others (my wife knows I love watches and my dog doesn't care less) but I find some magic in wearing and enjoying something as nice looking as this 1:1, and still enjoy other of life's offerings, (like food, clothing, maybe a cave w/ mod cons).

Silex is superb to work with. He is busy but always e mailed replies. It was about a 6 week wait, but a great experience and I will order from him again w/out hesitation. My research showed him to be best cost value as well. I'll get pictures up, but in short - it is everything I'd hoped for....so far.

I was searching for information on silix and i found two different web sites watchsilix and silix-prime which one did you purchase from if you dont mind me asking? The prices are very different between the two sites.

Thanks
