tyrantblade Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 the background in the qc pics is black, so im hoping that thats why the bezel looks almost like a crimson red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Im sure It will be fine. I have had two orange bezel PO... and they were both spot on as far as Im concerned. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamcky2k Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 ive always found the 45mm planet ocean reps to be too dark an orange compared to gen...like a red orange instead of a yellowish orange. not so on the new 42mm versions though, the orange on them is spot on...

tyrantblade Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) ive always found the 45mm planet ocean reps to be too dark an orange compared to gen...like a red orange instead of a yellowish orange. not so on the new 42mm versions though, the orange on them is spot on... well if they can make it the right shade on the 42mm, i dont see why they cant on the 45.5mm, especially by now with it being soooooo close to gen (if pearl was centered and it was superlumed it would be perfect). i also find that when tilted in the qc pics i have it looks more like the orange it should be than like a crimson red, so i guess shade depends on the angle and what the background is like.
