SAS

And now, one of them has stopped... the first one...

the others will follow one by one I'm affraid.

The difference is really obvious, I'll post a pic comparing one witch had been exposed to the sun light and a new one when I get back in EU (I'm surfing in Bali actually, sorry guys...)

I could wrote the same description as PAM1A on his PAM187.

Which versions did you buy? On the secs at 12 versions, not all of them have lume on the markers.....so the white paint it turning gray? Are u leaving them in the vegas dessert or something?

Bought the sec at 12 of course, white & grey dial and black & white dial. both has lume.

At this day, I bought 5 ROO, 2 for me, and 3 for friends.

I have the same problem on all of them : the tritium witch compose the markers has turned from a bright white texture into a dark grey color, due to the simple exposure of the bright light of the sun (... its summertime...) even after several days, they don't come back to its original color.

I asked my watchsmith about this quite strange change, he answer me that it can happens sometimes when the quality of the tritium is very poor.

I must say I'm very disappointed cause I spend a lot of $$$$ into those famous ROO !!

I would be surprised to be the only one to notice this?

Maybe my body is getting radioactive !

Hey what would you say if I put a ruby where it's needed (gear E) even if it hasn't the oil tank.

We are studying the file actually, but anyway, I think it is possible without many troubles.

Is there some members who would like to try the experience with me ?

Ive never seen that one before...

What do you mean "I've never seen that one"?

it's the one with white dial & grey subs, very common.

Once you have unscrewed the case back, you should be able to carefully push those out with a toothpick maybe, and then reposition them correctly, no?

Well, I tried of course, but there is not a single screw moving up!

I'm desperated.

Just received mine,

All the bezel's screws are in the wrong position.

even when i'm unscrewing the back, the bezel ones doesn't move.

Since One month, I have problems on every delivery, I'm tired of this now.

It's a fugly watch and everyone needs some fugly in their collection. Me, I've got the Panerai 187, but this would do.

When I'm reading your replies

I starting to consider the fact that I have a problem, because I just passed an order for this Graham, because I like it !!!!

and as I said before, I'm actually wearing another Graham, panda dial, this watch is just crazy to wear.

But I'd be able to buy a Pam 187 as well, I like it too!!! (the only reason I didn't do it is the 47mm, thought it was too big for my wrist, but I feel like I can change my mind at any time)

I have already the Graham panda dial...

So I'm afraid I'm gonna have 2 Graham...

This version is far away my favorite.

But I don't think that Graham is gonna be as popular as Panerai,

this brand is very confidential in fact.

Maybe the fake world will be responsible of their future success

Makes me realize that our tastes are so different !

All your watches are all very beautiful, but I'd never thought of buying any of those.

not my style, that's all.

conclusion : it's a wonderful world !

DONE !! I put my order yesterday on the grey dial one.

Ok, i's more expensive, but it looks so different from the others in my collection.

I've been waiting for this one since last Christmas... couldn't wait any longer...

Very very exellent review,

Thanks you for your time & your pics Lanikai

Yellow version come only in TI.

Agree

Info on IWC site is clear and correct you just need to understand the info given to you their..

Cheers

So tell us what have you red on IWC web site.

In your opinion does this model exist or not ??

Yes, no SS yellow version. I was wrong because the information on the web page is not clear.

However, Joshua told me some weeks ago that this yellow version will be ready with SS and coated with a layer of titanium, in February.

Well, I've just asked Josh' and he answered me :

"The maker does not want to make this watch in Ti"

So I'm gonna have to buy the SS version, cause I've been waiting for this one for a long time.

Titanium coated !!

Doesn't mean anything,

Titanium isn't platinium as far as I know.

prefer fantasy SS rather than TI coated

True, i've never seen a SS bracelet with yellow markers?

Only the Slevin comes with Bracelet.

But I still prefer the yellow ... even if it's a fantasy version...

It's better quality than most. It'll most likely be a keeper.

For a fake croc, truly excellent. Another keeper.

Fake or real, brown croco is gorgeous on your 3717.

I've just received my Laureus edition from Josh, the dark blue dial is really impressive,

and the fake blue croco strap is really correct too.

I'll try to make some pics when i'll be less busy.

I would have chosen the Cousteau orange, or the black/yellow version over this. Not because they're classier (they certainly aren't) but I'm a fan of crispy colors.

But of course, black is the classic, safe and conservative choice. Natural choice for the 40+ guys.

It's funny I've got the same exact opinion : yellow version over all.

The fact is that when i'm looking at my collection, I mostly see black... white... silver... black... white... silver...

except an orange monster and a few chrono Seiko from the 70', so when I saw that Cousteau 2007 coming,

I bought it right away, so it'll put some fresh sporty colors in my rep box!

and I like so much, it's probably my favorite.

I still hope that the yellow version on SS band will release one day.

...I'm over 40'... but i'm so young inside !!

I like Your new babe as well Pug, easier to wear. I might get one if the Yellow never release.

Same for me, I will not accept the sub dials in a different brighter color.

Other flows are not essentials to me.

I bought mine for 115$ in September 2007 on Ebay seller was "pokemonyu"

Well, nice watch, but I will not kill anybody for it...

there are other models from Bell & Ross that I'd like to see in rep world before this one.

Apples and Oranges!

Apples & Oranges Hahaha,

here's a pic of mine, taken with Apple Iphone !!!

Sorry, the quality is poor.

I hope you'll excuse me, I'm only an innocent victim of marketing.

Take a look on Josh'.

Personally, I prefer the grey dial one.

The Chopard font on the dial seems to be correct.

But I don't know if its an illusion due to the picture, but the colors of the dial and of the circles of the subdials looks like wrong.

Waiting for the price...
