lanikai Posted January 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 @lanikai: Are you sure the subdial font is incorrect on the black dial / red subdial version? It uses different subdial font from the other versions, and when I compare it to this factory photo, it looks quite accurate to me. Very good actually. Or perhaps I'm missing something? no you are not missing anything BT i was going by another pic by a member.. I stand corrected.. this has made my week. thank you very much.. I willl edit my post later today.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Joshua says this is the most accurate version because the maker had the genuine of this particular model. I think it's important to clear these false rumors now, because it gets a bit tiresome to still correct them after a year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
its_urabus Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 I love the red/black sub dial version, but shouldnt the sub dial needles be white? i guess its an easy fix if they are to be white instead of black. Thanks for the pics lanikai, wear them all well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mistook your response as an affirmative..my bad.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey Padge Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Thanks for the info lanikai I still don't understand why they can't fix the DW font, it must be such an easy thing to reproduce the ETA font, I have to wonder why they don't? Oh well........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well........ this is just a "theory" on my part not trying to start ...umm .. rumors.. If in fact the Asian movements are produced at a factory that is operated by the "State" and they definately don't condone contraband then this could be one reason...and if cost production wise, the maker was to replicate DW .. with that, the Chinese manufature 1000's of parts per order .. for cost effectiveness.. even if they do not use all the ordered parts.. do you think their mind set is that it would be a waste and added to that.. how would that affect the cost at our end ?? and time frame on theirs if every movement's DW had to be swapped ?? I'm sure there is more to cause and effect that meets the consumers eye's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
its_urabus Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 @ lanikai, I was speaking of the watch above that bytor showed a gen picture of. It seems to have white hands for the sub dials, where the rep has black hands for the sub dials. thats all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably have silver/"white gold" surface, and are reflecting back whatever the exposure is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry man... my time in the morning is short.. so i try and abbreviate everything i do.. didn't mean to offend... the genuine sites are starting to get a bit misleading..in thier "drawings" no doubt because of the large amount of replications being done.. getting harder to obtain genuine photos.. only alternative for me is to go to the AD.. which can get complicated .. I have friends wives that work there and they are under Japanese Management .. and are very different from Western management... so i would rather not cause what could be an uncomfortable situation for my friends..

People still buy the watches with the poor DW, so it is not worth it for them to change anything..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
