r11co Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 This is the 5th generation 45mm PO with a new second hand added. This has been around for a while. Nothing else new about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob_s Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 i was thinking of trying one of these, for 200 bucks its a steal (currency exchange wise lol) with waterproofing. if i wasnt happy with the standard i could then grab a good ultimate and swap straps, flogging the resulting 007 5th gen....

Dario33 Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Perhaps the correct logo's from these can be sourced? I suspect Silix would get a decent amount of people interested in these alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miquel Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Does it have the correct HE valve placement? That's what I would like to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman_Fred Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 This is the 5th generation 45mm PO with a new second hand added. This has been around for a while. Nothing else new about it. I bought a PO from Silix and they call it the "Latest Version" PO. I asked if it was the same as the "Ultimate" and was told that the "Latest Version" and the "Ultimate" are sourced from different factories. The pearl on the "new" Casino Royale is the same as that on my "Latest Version", the Omega symbol is different (the symbol on the standard PO from Silix is larger than the symbol on the "Ultimate" from TT and Josh). The date font on Silix's CR is worse than that on their standard PO and the He placement appears to be the same - just slightly above the 10 O'clock mark. Hope this helps... - Oh, and the minute hand on the new CR from Silix DOES look shorter... I've been waiting with bated breath for the Casino Royale from Silix but I'm not that impressed now it's finally here. It's different, (slightly), but not awe inspiring. Think I'll put my wallet away again, for now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
