By-Tor Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Not many changes but this is the new Co-Axial model, with red lettering. I don't like it on a leather strap.

bigpops Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 I don't like the strap (thought it's obviously available without it), I don't like the red Seamaster text, and i don't like the slower beat of the co-axial movement. I do like the slightly larger hour markers. If i were to have the gen, i'd prefer the old one. As it is, i bought the rep the first day it came out, so i'm a happy bunny anyway.

By-Tor Posted October 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 I guess you're right. The lower beat coaxial isn't my cup of tea, either. But that red Seamaster text is nice to my eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoTone Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 It would look sweet on a Black Strap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratchpot Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Is the seconds hand on the previous version noticeably smoother than the co-axial? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postvak Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Any idea what dealer sells this in a rep. version ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r11co Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Hmmm - is it a bad pic or has the wavy dial gone. Also, that pearl looks a little shabbily fitted - bringing it closer to the look of the pearl in the new SMP chrono, ironically.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Is the seconds hand on the previous version noticeably smoother than the co-axial? I've compared a Co-Axial PO with a non-co-axial and it's damned smooth, but the beat-rate is noticably slower. For those ofyou who don't know what we're on about, Asian 21j are 21600vph, Co-Axials are 25200vph and ETA-2836 are 28800vph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Hmmm - is it a bad pic or has the wavy dial gone. Too much noise-reduction has hidden the wavy pattern. It's there, but unsharp-masked away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
