They could brash the bezel using finer sand paper it seems, but otherwise looks good -- questions to answer how tick is the crystal, how the bazel markers were attached, and is the AR really "as per genuine". I will take it apart when it arrives and report here. Did they say anything about the rubber strap being new? The old stock was terrible, crap plastic. Visually this one looks more "rubbery", but what can one tell from pictures...

Guys, Josh emailed me about that:

"I have delisted the item.. The 12.00 lume dot is made in accordance to the J series which is double ring...

The maker's genuine is in J ..

This rep is made in L.. which is single ring.. Maker decide to call back all the watches and alter.. Will be ready in about a week"

Have you ever seen this before ?

Here is the comparison pic:

My lord you guys are harsh. I'd hardly call this a monstrosity I understand the push to be accurate but when I first found RWG in 2005 we'd have killed a goat to get something like this and paid out the ass to get it - knowing the flaws. The first fiddy that came out with an acrylic crystal sold for $600. There was nothing better available in any brand. I say go forth and keep the dealers honest and push for accuracy, but no need to roll anyone over the coals. Although I felt differently at the time, when a dealer got me for $400 for the first available 177 with recessed pin, sticker (not engraved bridge) non working regulator, no AR - totally useless strap and Swiss made and the numbers printed to close to the rehaut, i understand what a eddie lee used to say Its just a watch :)

)However, the watch did have THE BEST Lume I have ever seen. And at least 75 watches have passed through my hands, for me, family...

Also,I never delt with his ass again, I established my relationship w Josh, and he was probably the smallest dealer here :)

Anyway, carry on, make sure everyone takes their blood pressure meds this eve
