  1. Hard question to answer Indy, I'll definitely try give more info on both during the week, and there isn't much in it but I think the 45mm is a little better overall than the 42mm, but the 42mm has the huge advantage of proper AR. The dial/markers/crown/tube/bezel markers/bracelet stampings are better on the 45mm! Some things just a little better, others such as the crown/tube feel much better.

     

    I meant to ask 82Kuba, how does the screw down on the crown/tube feel on the blue Ti?

     

     The crown felt fine and smooth. A bit tight towards the end but a bit of oil would help. I plan on soaking the bracelets on both watches once they arrive. 

  2. Nice pics Kuba! Is it me or does the AR look better on the Blue Ti? Kuba how is the weight? Is it really titanium?

    Like i said before the AR is not as bad as i expected.. the weight is nice feels like a quality piece.  I just ordered the 42mm from Andrew. I think im going to keep the one i like the most then catch and release the other.  I think i may lean towards the 42mm because I've got use to smaller watches.

  3. Just received my Blue Ti but there was a problem!!!  The logo was way off the O in Omega looks to be falling off..  I contacted Joshua and he will be sorting it out.. This piece is heading back to china.  The Ti is amazing in person. i was able to replicate the color change in different lighting as per the gen ...  The finish of this watch is great I wish the logo wasnt crooked  cause now i have to wait longer... The AR is not the best but its also not the worst ive seen. This is a solid piece ....  I've been wearing a milgauss for the last year so I've got use to the smaller size. I'm seriously thinking thinking of purchasing the 42mm for daily wear.

  4. The font seems to be correct but the dw still seems a little 'off', will see more when I get it, it looks obviously weak and possibly a little too big vs the gen which is more glossy/bolder/smaller and silver on the black background.

     

    Absolutely, bit of a chaotic mess alright, the 45mm without any AR is a major mess up, that in itself is a real let down for anotherwise flawed but nice watch. Especially since the 42mm looks to have some of the best double AR on a rep!??

  5. It's usually applied via pin holes so it's a case of taking off the dial and pushing it out a little from the pin holes at the back of the dial. Then straighten from there. Crude way is to check if it is not applied steady on the pins from the front...without taking off the dial, sometimes they can be moved a tad from there. tbh it would be a case of probably leaving it for a while and then doing a few mods that might improve the watch a little overall, i.e, gen pearl and gen date wheel...and then do the straightening.

     

     

     

    Nice! Dial looks very sweet. AR is hard to get done these days, K222 is long gone, taka not doing it anymore and not too sure about chief! Uwe in Germany doing it and as Wiz in France. tbh the hope would be someone like sunnydale would possibly get a run done in the future if there is no improvements directly from the factory. His AR is very good.

    Do think a gen crystal from the older 45.5 PO would fit this case ?

  6. I think this is going to be a fun piece. AR mod is def. going to be needed. I've been out of the game for a while now last time K222 did one for me.  Who does AR now ?  

     

    Are gen parts available for the current model ceramic POs ?? Im having wild dreams of a custom Ti Pumpkin post-7179-0-67555600-1360194569_thumb.jp  :)

  7. I ordered mine from Andrew, in fairness he was quick off the mark and corrected it early, pretty good fast service. Only hope they clear china before the major hold up starts.

     

    btw new models out now, blue and pumpkin, both on Josh and A's sites.

    WOW !!!  i just asked Joshua if i could pay the difference for the Blue Ti model... Hopefully it works out 

  8. Still dont get it though....

    What makes him so special? apart from his bad acting and a face like the bloke from 'Kung Fu' ?

    Chuck Norris sold his soul to the devil for his rugged good looks and unparalleled martial arts ability. Shortly after the transaction was finalized, Chuck roundhouse kicked the devil in the face and took his soul back. The devil, who appreciates irony, couldn't stay mad and admitted he should have seen it coming. They now play poker every second Wednesday of the month.
