Legend Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Is this the V2? Can I ask about the color of the dial please? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kindred666 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Hi Legend, the dial feels very much similar with the V1 but maybe because of the better crystal's clarity, it does seems to pop a little more. I was told by a TD that the latest batch of Sec@12 comes with single AR'ed crystal which I personally don't think so as compared to the single AR'ed Diver but having said that its definitely better than the V1,maybe because of the Chrystal's quality. The cyclop though are AR'ed with the blueish tint with cream surround as compared to the white V1. Anyway, if you like to take a physical look, I can pass it to you.

socialnewyork Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Yes from Toro. The blue has muted tone in comparison to the V1, it looks good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 To the OP, did you get the watch from shawnb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kindred666 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Hi Legend, as compared to Safari, i think it's whiter. Am outside at the moment, I will compare it with the Silver Theme's white when back home. Funny, it seems op got from Toro... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Kindred I would not wish to trouble you further, thanks you have been a great help. to be honest I wonder about socialnewyork and shawnb.. never heard of either of them and now they surface stating that 100 units are available from shawnb. hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kindred666 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 No worries Legend..that's the least I could do.. Unfortunately, can't compare both as I sold the V1 before the V2 came in a just couple of days earlier. According to the TD, nothing was changed on the dial except the tachymeter that seems less glossy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know where that delusion came from either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kindred666 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Hi Legend, yes it's more of a off white on the MH as compared to Silver Theme. It should sit in between it and the cream Safari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socialnewyork Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Please guys c'amon, both of mine AP MH came from TORO. My "by shawnb" post was an inside joke in response to his surreal listing in Watches for Sale. Until we're proved wrong shawnb offer is a product of fiction...

PeteM Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 My shawnb came with gen horn back I don't know what you guys are talking about Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2 I see you just joined today mate..... where did you see it posted? When did you buy it? How much was it? So now Shawn is able to sell gen HBs? Also I aint no AP expert but aint that the old version in your pic without the borders around the markers and I notice the strap aint what ShawnB posted in his thread for sale.... I would be grateful if you could explain a little more about your experience in your purchase.... the when? the how? the price? etc etc At the moment I would not trust anything for sale by ShawnB so any further info from you would be very useful... Maybe you might also give us a little background about yourself ... as the coincidence of your post and you joining today does you must admit seem a little contrived Of course I am hppy to hold my hands up and apologise if I have got it wrong But care is the watchword here mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) And Social You should change your OP mate IMHO as it will only cause confusion unless you make it clearer in your OP... as a lot of guys dont read through stuff..

jd01449 Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Sorry for the confusion, I was just joking around, I got this v2 from PureTime and a horn back from miglore straps. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
