oberblender Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 (edited) just got this picture from king... she said she has the new version and it would be no problem... but look at the picture.. not a new version in my opiniion and also totally messed up screws... (the screws on the caseback also look like a kid tried to open it with a knife) ... hope she didn't send this one out. I told her that I don't want to have it and she should look for a new one...

oberblender Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 yeah, I know... and the screws are really messed up... I would have been so angry if I'd had gotten it like this... not wearable with those crooked and messed up screws... She said she is taking it back to the factory and getting a new one... but now I am pretty sure she just said "yes new version, no problem, in stock..." but she only meant the "new" movement with the jewel on the center wheel... probably there actually is no new version for this model... :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thogaa Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Oh that one is badly screwed I've got one on the way as well. Hope it's better than that. Are they using air powered tools to put those screws in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cskent69 Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 got a new picture from a new watch... looks much better now! Is this the fixed date position, or the regular secs at 12? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usctrojans11 Posted July 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 These are the new secs @12 with slightly fixed DW position and smoother movement. They're beautiful. Don't forget to tell King I recommended you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Wow....amazing what a small change for the date-window and a bit of QC can result to....very nice. KING is QUEEN....good job. Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exper Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Ah my bad! didn't think the pic posted was from King as well considering how bad the earlier one was! Email on the way to king (with you mentioned usctrojans11) thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget to tell King I recommended you! yeah, told her you sent me ... glad I asked for pics, though... if she would have sent out the first one, it would have been a desaster... the pics of the second one look very nice. hope it looks that nice in flesh, too.

exper Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 King claims that all she now stocks is the new updated version in all models. She sent me some pics, I dunno maybe I've been looking at them for too long but the DW still looks very similiar to the old one to me EDIT: actually scratch that... just had a look in comparison with my RG/Volcano's and it does seem to be a improvement in that the wheel cyclops is not being cut but not enough to warrant a upgrade on my current reps but certainly worth it on a new purchase.. Ok time for a silver themes I reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indec Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 I'd say it's moved, but not enough. On the gen it's centered more to the left. But it's improved a fraction, I'll give em that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j4jure Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Same old DW positioning. Much ado about... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oberblender Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 got it today, since I had it forwarded via the uk to avoid customs issues... I can confirm it is the same old date window... but my actual watch looks very good... no screw problems etc. secs @12 seems to move very smooth. I really like the watch and stared at it for some minutes now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thogaa Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Got one last week and one more on the way. Same old window but much nicer screws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R_Squared Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 got it today, since I had it forwarded via the uk to avoid customs issues... I can confirm it is the same old date window... but my actual watch looks very good... no screw problems etc. secs @12 seems to move very smooth. I really like the watch and stared at it for some minutes now... I am seriously considering this watch but need to know if they have corrected the other flaw with the silver outlines. Can you verify for me if there is silver outline around the hour/numeral markers on the dial? I can't see for sure in the photo from your dealer. Looks like it does but it could have been a silver border beneath the lume but goes around the hour/numeral markers on the dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
