pascal Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 HELLO THERE FRIENDS, I AM A SILENT MEMBER ON RWG WHO IS PRESENT EVERY DAY ,BUT IS NOT ACTIVE IN THE TOPICS . I SELL REPS IN MY INNER CIRCLE SINCE MANY YEARS AND I HAVE SEEN THEM ABOUT ALL. I AM TOTALLY CRAZY ABOUT THE SAFARI SECS @ 12 , BUT AFTER HAVING SOLD THIS WATCH SEVERAL TIMES IT KEPT COMING IN WITH WHITE DIAL/ WHITE SUBDIALS. I EMAILED MY SUPPLIER ( NOT A PREFERED RWG DEALER ) TO TELL HIM TA ASK THE MAKER TO UPDATE THE DIAL 1 MONTH AGO . 2 DAYS AGO I RECEIVED ANOTHER SAFARI AND TO MY SURPRISE IT WAS UPDATED : CREME DIAL / WHITE SUBDIALS , SO I WAS A HAPPY CAMPER . SPECIALLY SINCE YESTERDAY MY WHITE PYTHON STRAP FORM APBANDS ARRIVED . DISSAPPOINTMENT THOUGH : THE AP WENT DEAD AFTER 2 HOURS . THE COMBO WITH THE PYTHON THOUGH I THINK IS OUT OF THOS WORLD . I HAVE ANOTHER SAFARI COMING IN ( WIL SEND BACK THE OTHER ONE TOGETHER WITH 4 OTHER SECS AT 12 AP S !!!!!!!!!!!!) WHEN THE STRAP IS ON MY WATCH I WILL POST PICTURES , BUT ALTHOUGH I AM CRAZY ABOUT THIS WATCH I WILL NO LONGER PROMOTE THE AP SECS @ 12 . TOO MANY PROBLEMS ( I SOLD ABOUT 20 AND HAD ABOUT 8 X A PROBLEM ) REG PASCAL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siesta181 Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 I am no AP expert, but thatlooks like a gen. Datewindow and pusher seems all right. Somebody chime in quick.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Well I don't think it is gen - date wheel is not deep enough to make it gen. The dial looks great, not sure if it matches the tachy bezel in color as well.... But the color of dial itself and numerals look great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pascal Posted August 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 THE SUBDIALS ARE STILL TOO WHITE : THEY SHOULD BE A KIND OF WHITE/SILVER COLOR REG P I am no AP expert, but thatlooks like a gen.

Jurgenk Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 This is a big improvement but before I start rooting around for a bezel removing tool (special screwdriver) I'll need to have a cream bezel too. I'm actually very happy with my off white/silver dial as it is. It's taking on a bit of creaminess from sun exposure. But just to have the contrast in the subdial / dial color would be nice. Wait for them to make the bezel match too before you order. They need to get these things right the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratchpot Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 I'll need to have a cream bezel too. What do you mean by 'cream bezel'? The bezel is supposed to be stainless steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgenk Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Gen safari's have a cream bezel and dial face with silver white subdials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z3k0 Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 What do you mean by 'cream bezel'? The bezel is supposed to be stainless steel. I guess he meant tachy ring (it's separate from dial), not bezel. BTW, @Jurgenk, you don't really need any special screwdriver for removing bezel, I managed to do it with just pair of straight tweezers, and regular screwdrivers. regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archimede Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 The reference is to internal tachometer bezel. It is a body separate from the dial. B.R. Archimede Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgenk Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 oops my mistake is that what they call a bezel??? yeah, what he said! So now I am intrigued, how do you remove the top bezel from the case, is that where the tweezers come into play? I thought I recalled from reading Archimede's post a while back that he used an special screwdriver he got from an AP service guy, in order to separate the front bezel from the case? Is there another technique? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elisiX Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Looks great. Be nice to see some good pics of this in person rather than dealer shots. The subdials do look a little too bright / white but overall the dial color is 100% better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jot9011 Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 The numbers on the dial should be outlined in SS. Not the same color as the dial. A HUGE improvement though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Are the numerals dark, dark brown I wonder, or jet black like before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MADRED7 Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 I strongly believe that the numerals on the rep are still black Allthough the dial is an improvement, the SAFARI has to look 100% because it is one of the most seen AP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
