I recently ordered an asian 7750 secs @ 6 Daytona, but with a black dial. When the watch arrived it had smaller, very thick and shiny sub dial rings, it looked very bad. Of course I was quite disappointed, but I got it from an excellent dealer who refunded my money, I sent the watch back. So now I'm still wanting a Daytona, may I ask, which dealer did you get yours from?

I think your scenario is in really bad taste.

Yes, absolutely, the RG case with black dial - stunning.

We used to stay at Hotel Metro on W. 35th just west of Fifth Ave., it used to be quite inexpensive, but last time I checked rooms were around $200 a night. Superb midtown location. The cool part was the rooftop deck, you could see almost the entire Empire State Bldg. as the hotel was 2 blocks north of it. Good luck, I hope you find something decent.

Thanks, sounds like the gap won't be an issue. I'll post pix when I get it.

Yep, I 'm happy too - I ordered it from Andrew today.Sharp looking watch. You've tried leather strap, please tell me, is there a noticeable gap between the ends of the leather strap and the case, between the lugs? Andrew told me the rep black rubber strap would not fit well, but I'd like to get a black croc strap with white topstitch, then dye the white thread with orange marker, same as the genuine you link to Omega site.

Thank you very much, Kaneda!

Thanks for the review, everything! I really like the look of this, and quartz movement doesn't bother me. I'm going to order this from Andrew. Can you please tell me, is the lug width 20mm? I have a rep black rubber strap that was supposed to fit the 4th gen PO but it looked terrible on, I 'm hoping I could install that strap on this baby, that would look really sharp. Thanks!

Hmm, lotsa backpedaling going on there. So this is what a "repaired" TT Sub looks like? Does this mean he's sending you the new $679 VIP version? You paid $579, right? Well maybe this will turn out in your favor after all, keep us posted. I am very curious as to waht you will get.

Yes, I give the guy a lot of credit, I mean, all he was asking for was a critique of the watch, not of his purchasing logic. Thanks David for taking the plunge with WM9, I hope it all turns out well for you and you finally get a beautiful blue TT Sub. Also hk45ca's advice regards modding the blue TT Sub was excellent, thanks much!

First dibs on the rose gold/black version

Err, oops, I just saw Neil's sales post reagrds the Ap RO, boy am I embarrased. Sorry, Neil!

Nobody. Neil just bought one for himself, and doesn't know if he can get more. Typical scottish yuppie behavior.

Initially I thought this RO was pretty cool, when it came out in early August. Now it just doesn't look good, it's the proportion of the bezel to the dial, too much bezel maybe. It is very clumsy looking.

Thanks for the excellent photos, the Laureus is stunning, and the dial does not seem too shiny at all. Enjoy your beautiful timepieces.

I like the black dial/white subdials version, strong and crisp. The white dial with blue hands is boring.

I noticed this Yachty in Andrew's website today also. I'm not a fan of this design, but this Yachtmaster looks very, very good. Andrew is offering this same Yachty without the full servicing for $120 less.

I play the uke and I actually took a music class not too long ago, it was called Son Jarocho, the music of Vera Cruz. Very cool stuff, heavily influenced by african beats and spanish flamenco. So I know what Clive is talking about. And yes, one of the first songs we played was La Bamba. The class was a lot of fun, and the music is wonderful.

6.5" wrist here, you need to get another bracelet from Paul with all the links, if you ever want to sell the watch. Very few of us have skinny wrists.

The Portuguese in rose gold with black dial

I wish the dial wasn't so shiny, if it had a matte finish it would be gorgeous. In bright sunlight this rep will scream fake.

The case and dial deign of River's upcoming tourb is very nice.

Just count your blessings it didn't happen when you were being gutsy at the Pam AD.

Yes but, did you take into account the Mareva effect?

You guys, don't you read and comprehend? He wants a leather case without display glass so he can carry it discreetly. Ubi, try acetimer.com, he has some nice leather cases that are only $40.
