MechWatch Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 (edited) Just received sub from EL. Quick delivery from TW to NY. Ordered during the weekend and post office tried to delivery it on Thursday. I especially like the CGs, since for me that's my nit; it's the feature I would look for to see if it's gen or not and many times that's enough even on a moving wrist. Improved CGs, rehault, crystal, etc. (as compared to my previous sub purchase in 2005) Decent date and cyclop aligment Laser logo is not visible with nake eye, visilbe only with loup or blow-up. The pearl appeared smaller than the gen. Diver extension need to be bent to flatten the curve to loosen the tension or else too tight to be deployed (not that I planned on diving with this watch). Comments welcome. Edited September 24, 2006 by MechWatch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tshoot Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Good looking watch. I like the CGs. That is my pet peeve also. That and bezel pearls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechWatch Posted September 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Front shot. Sorry about the size. didn't allow me to postlarger size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechWatch Posted September 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 @tshoot this one needs a new insert with better pearl. It may not show in the picture but pearl seems smaller than the gen I have seen, unless the new gen now comes with smaller pearls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSmoot Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Does anyone know if this is EL's TW Best? Or more specifically, one of the cases that more readily accepts mods? "TW Best" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshoot Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 I think it looks great from the picture you just posted - the crown guards and bezel pearl looks better than most I have seen. I went out this weekend to look at some of the newer gens. There was not as much consistency between bezel pearls as I would have thought. Some were larger and protruded out more and some looked flatter. I think we are more fanatical than Rolex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HauteHippie Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 Rehaut appears slightly shallow yet compared to the gen. Disappointing if this is his "TW Best". Otherwise, a great looking sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
