I just got my black 45mm from Andrew yesterday. It is a very nice watch, but there are some of the same errors on it as there were on the gen 1,2,3, etc. The He valve is straight on at 10 o'clock. The logo on the back of the case is a pasted foil, not engraved. The back of the case is poorly finished and looks like it wasn't buffed at all. But the biggest difference is that the crystal is not anti-reflective. That, in my opinion, is the most easily recognized error and is pretty much a dead give away to someone who has spent any time studying the gen. The bracelet is fine, except that it is either one-half link too large or one-half link too small for me. What ever happened to the half links like on the Seamaster Pro? Also, I think someone said that the 45mm version didn't have "Planet Ocean" engraved on the clasp. Mine from Andrew doesn't. I'll break out the photo gear tomorrow for some photos.

That might be worth a new thread, Dave. I would like to know, too.

Very nice photography. Nice watches, too.

I figured I would get the answer I was looking for but not the wealth of detail you guys provided. Another awesome reason for RWG II. Thanks.

I'm having no luck in finding out where genuine Datona seconds sub dials are located. What years were at six and which ones were at nine? Which were the el Primero movement? and which were on the manual wind? Is there data base? TIA.

I like your setup, too, but the blown out reflections at 10 o'clock are a distraction. Any way to eliminate them?
