Legend Posted October 18, 2012 Report Posted October 18, 2012 did the pushers come rounded already when you purchased it? Looks good to me, the entire works.

Legend Posted October 18, 2012 Report Posted October 18, 2012 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!
Guest Daytona1984 Posted October 18, 2012 Report Posted October 18, 2012 love the safari! my favorite ap roo :-) wear it well!

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
theflyingdutchman Posted October 18, 2012 Report Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) Nice one! The Safari is a "must have AP", even with all its flaws, still a killer! How was the strap? Here in the EU they are 450 Euros = 560 USD... any trouble getting one? Edited October 18, 2012 by theflyingdutchman

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.

You can find the updated version in the sale section, just search for it. In fact, here, Id post the link for you.
theflyingdutchman Posted October 19, 2012 Report Posted October 19, 2012 The flaws are glaring to us simply because we know about them. 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!
Legend Posted October 19, 2012 Report Posted October 19, 2012 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?
theflyingdutchman Posted October 19, 2012 Report Posted October 19, 2012 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!
