Thanks mate, if we consider the a21j costs 130$ .. it's indeed a great rep
As for the bracelet, I respectfully disagree though: minor issues are flaws we can fix at a reasonable cost.
In the 4th Gen PO the gap was really annoying and replacing a bracelet is not easy or cheap at all.
But maybe in this new version the gap is not so bad after all.
No need to say I would have preferred a flawed caseback or short hands.
Most expensive ... GAS 129€
usually i buy jeans on discount and the price is below 100€
Favourite brands: GAS and Levi's.
I like Diesel's too but they are too costy.
signumboy,
sorry to ask again
could you please compare the bracelet gap?
Is the gen bracelet much better in this?
Thanks once more for sharing all your beautiful pics
Not a big difference between a good one-side AR and a lousy DS AR.
Either way we have to recoat the crystal.
I'm seriously considering the cheap DG4813 version now
Andy, in my opinion is a keeper, i still love mine.
Now the gen is discontinued and i thought to buy one 2nd hand Railmaster.. if i wasn't totally penniless now..
Couple of questions please :
- how about the bracelet? is there the big gap there was in the 4th gen Po?
- Ar looks weak from pics, is that correct or a wrong impression?
Thanks mate
forgot to say, it looks beautiful, sligtly better than the old 4th gen
Unquestionable point
If dial and bracelet suck there's almost no improvement compared to the old 4th gen, you still need a gen dial.
Assuming this new version can accept gen parts for real, still to be proved afaik.
The only improvements seem to be the insert (still not perfect though) and the metal movement holder.
I almost forgot... serial number on the lug as well.
I also noticed IWC datewheels are a little different from ETA ones: very small differences though, for example number 7 is not exactly the same
Number 4 is larger than ETA's
Again, really slight differences hard to notice
I have to say i'm a little disappointed after looking at the pics several times.
No need to say dial must be replaced with a gen to have a keeper, i thought in a bigger improvement after the Ploprof (a real masterpiece).
Omega logo is not much better than in the 4th gen (UPO new logo looks better.. ) , dial writings are probabily less accurate and that's something you cannot fix.
Pearl is definetely better but not perfect at all.
I just hope the bracelet has no big gap and we can use gen parts (dial and insert).
