jpohl402 Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 I can't decide how I feel about the baby blue, but the mods look sharp & make the watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watchaddict Posted August 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 I believe he applies something (varnish?) to the blue areas so the color matches (or more closely matches) the gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Z Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 what he mean by correct dial colour ... is the cream off white now .. as before its was white !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchaddict Posted August 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Pics updated! awesome! is it a catch and release by chance? Not a catch and release but maybe in about a month or so what he mean by correct dial colour ... is the cream off white now .. as before its was white !! Thank you...I believe he does something to the entire dial and inner bezel though. The brown and blue areas have also been worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Not saying that my friend I'm just merely pointing the colour are not close .. as I have 2 x MH Reps P.s great new pics juts posted looking awesome on the white rubber I own a nice specimen of the MH too, and honestly, who cares if the dial color is wrong. There are 300 pieces of the gen watch, and the color is close enough to pass casual scrutiny in my opinion. As per all reps, these flaws are most noticeable by us, the rep collectors, even if a lot of us do own gens. It is a beautiful watch in its own right. A shade off the blue here, a shade off the white there. Its inevitable I guess, given the fact that its a rep. I would still have to say its a darn good rep, and I am happy with it. I have worn this everywhere since I got it, and even at a recent watch enthusiasts meet,I had to explain to many other members that this is a rep. I do own about 6 gen ROOs and I would have to say I am happy with this. Getting a gen Montauk Highway is not simply a matter of affording it. It is a rare edition, and hard to find in real life. I suppose this would also mean that meeting an owner of the gen MH is an extremely unlikely affair for a side by side comparison to occur. For those with the MH rep, wear it well, it is a beautiful watch in its own right, especially when strapped with the gen hornback! Peace all.

I have nothing against zorrolondon personally, just his one post. That has been addressed and done with. :popcorn: I'll gladly supply you with real ones plus a beer or 6 if and when we meet. But don't camp here waiting to see a show man. lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
