apollo22 Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 (edited) Should be the date window spacing rather than date wheel......This one is taken from King's, look like they've fixed the spacing between the date window and the tachy?

ubiquitous Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Looks pretty good! It would appear as though they just made the tachy ring steeper in angle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indyberetta Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 It looks like they finally got it right this time. It is hard to tell if it is the tach ring that is moved in at a different angle, or the date wheel has been changed to the correct position. I guess until someone gets one and does a review with an "older" model we will not know. Maybe a measurement of the distance will take care of this question. I love these watches and think they are some of the closest reps to gen on the market with the seconds at 12. A good service on these movements will make them run good with no problems!

sixtesat Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 the only problem now with this new ones is the colour (should be cream instead of white) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikerblade Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 It does look like they have changed the angle on the bezel. The gens have the same (almost touching) spacing from the numbers to the bezel edge as the reps while the latest picture they have a gap. Either way it's still a nice piece, now if they would fix the colour of the volcano bezel & sell it separately I would live with the gap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertieng Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 It does looks good. If they can fix the creamy colour on the dial, it must be the best APROO sec@12 available. Not sure how many sec@12 factories are there, Josh do have the upgraded creamy dial for the Safari though. Only if King's supplier can do the same...... they will sell thousands of it.

bertieng Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 King highlighted in the description that the dial is upgraded to off white/creamy colour. Has anyone actually ordered and received one yet? Please share. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cskent69 Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 I am really interested in this watch but I have a number of things that are making me hesitate. First is, aren't the dial numerals supposed to have silver surrounds? Also, the date number in the window looks to be pretty off (too low) in the datewindow. What do you all think? Here are more pics and the description: Here is the new description: Model : SS Case, Updated Off White Checkered Dial, White Subdials, Black Embossed Numeral Markers on SS Bracelet With Trip lock Double Deployant Clasp With Insignia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertieng Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 We will never get the perfect dial. Improve the date window but with the serious flaw of the hour markers. And can't really see the dial is in creamy colour as describe by King. If Josh's picture is real, then it is still a better bet despite the date window is further on the right. Anyone actually got either of the Safari in hand to comment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cskent69 Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Did anyone ever get one of these new ones with the different date window spacing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExtraExtra Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Yeah. I would like to know too if this is for real. Anyone get this from King? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExtraExtra Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Wow....surprised that no one replied. I thought this would generate some buzz given that this is the number one obvious flaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
