Guest Sql_pl Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Shame the bezel is all in one colour.... I guess the wis collector T forgot it should be a bit darker inside :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Shame the bezel is all in one colour.... I guess the wis collector T forgot it should be a bit darker inside :) I was wondering the same thing. I remember there were 2 versions and was wondering whether that was because it is the other version. I know Theo will know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sql_pl Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Nice but what can be done about that bezel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgematic1 Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 sure it's not the lighting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yannou Posted November 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 sure it's not the lighting? I hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Nope, it clearly is darker inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanytical Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 (edited) I think it's the lighting, or shading, and the way light reflects off of the sand blasted finish that is causing the inner bezel to look darker in that picture. It is certainly not two tone metal. Edited November 7, 2010 by alanytical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgematic1 Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Yes, that's my opinion as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fitipaldi Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 (edited) wow, good search alanytical!! you're indeed an analytical man!! heheh Edit: This tour auto rep strap would be nice in the Silver Themes...

MADRED7 Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 The darker bezel is just the lightning, I have seen a gen TA 2010 3 months ago at an AD, the angle you look on the bezel shows it in different shades of silver.....thats the reason why AP is sticking to the wonderful mega tap. dials! And just to share some more information for all: Tour Auto 2010 (LE of 60 pieces) red accents, TA caseback National Classic Tour (LE of 40 pieces) red accents, NCT caseback Drivers Boutique Edition with orange accents (no limitation number), has the new, 2010 caseback! Get this AP as your Xmas present....this rep is great and very nicely done with an eye on detail. Theo P.S.: ...and just to convince my friend M. that the darker bezel is a trick of light (Drivers Edition)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yannou Posted November 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Just got mine today and great rep first bad pics about it. The quality of this AP is very high. I never tried the GEN so it's only a personal opinion... The dial is not black but dark grey which is very nice. The rehaut is beautifull. The bezel is sandblasted...no doubt The strap : I don't know if I will change it for a hornback with red stitch.. Will need a double AR treatment The lume is pretty good and I will test it tonight... So now the pics took with my poor iphone... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Yannou, your words encourage me....glad you like it. I know that the factory put a lot of effort in this piece and they really took the time to get the small details right! Congrats on this piece.....don´t change the strap, it needs to be this racer-style strap, looks awesome and fits to the style of the complete set. Looking forward to some high-res pics....my watch will take some days longer and I will do a complete review after I received it, cheers all. Theo P.S.: Thanks Josh....you did a great job!!!
