Yeps, Andrew fixed it before sending it

Can you comment or show the dial face on please? I am interested also in procuring a safari and am concerned about dial/sub dial color, markers details etc..

Any help would be appreciated!

Me again...

I spotted a gen Safari last week..

Must say, this version with silver outlines, updated the white colour on dial is a very good rep.

Yes, it is a bit fatter, yes, some small flaws on date placing, subdial details etc.....

Still. If u not are a pro spotter I will fool you.

Pics comin

Yes mate, like all AP ROOs sec@12, it bears the usual flaws, and I understand. I did not ask for pics to point them out, but rather, I want to see the updated dial that many tell me is very good. ;) I want to buy one for myself!

Honestly, as I mentioned many times, you just need to be comfortable with whatever watch you wear on your wrist. The flaws are glaring to us simply because we know about them. To the next guy, it is most likely a "very nice watch", unless he's an ardent AP fan and collector. How many of those do you find walking around anyway. :D

You can find the updated version in the sale section, just search for it. In fact, here, Id post the link for you.

Very true, that is why the new dial is great, but the majour = 3 meter away mistakes e.g. case thickness, will always be a give away!

Honestly, H, I still do not find the thickness difference very obvious. But I have never been looking out for that, even though I know about this tell.

Is it really that bad, the few mm?

Yes see here; the 2nd set of pics. Incl. the crown miss placing... seeing that the dial is the smallest of problems, but good that they fixed it! And talking about SAFARI modding, check this: http://www.repgeek.com/showthread.php?t=132014&highlight=safari ... great what some people can do!
