ceocorona Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 I had the hardest time trying to determine which dial color to get... So I figured the easiest way to pick ONE was to buy all THREE! Lol I'll post some pictures up comparing all three when I get them in hand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceocorona Posted October 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 UPDATE... its been discussed in details on RWI but the $200 "asian clone 2836" is not really a swiss close. Its a lesser movement with some known problems and QA issues. Just FYI. I decided to stick with a swiss white dial and "asian close" black dial but I plan to swap in a franken movement into this. No blue dial folks Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Ceo had read that, now I have the swiss clone from Mirrors for 6-8 months as least still running like a champ, you get good ones you get bad ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceocorona Posted October 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Oh yeah? Hmm.. Well I also switched because I was not sure about the blue in comparison to the gen. I never noticed how "off" it was. I think black and the creme I just QC'd are pretty nice. Im excited now! Why did I wait this long for these AWESOME reps!

ceocorona Posted November 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 there is a distinct difference in the quality of the bezel engravings on the swiss to asian. The asian bezel engravings are off centered and seem to be more shallow then the swiss. The swiss engravings are perfectly centered. Pictures to follow.

importr Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 This is true. I rejected the first watch that was offered because the engraving was so bad. Off centre and sloppy. The dealer argued that it was my eyesight blah blah. Second one was as good as I was gonna get . But then I still wasn't happy so ended up putting a gen bezel on!

ceocorona Posted December 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 I honestly would recommend buying the Swiss and spending the extra money just for a higher level of QA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
