w.genzo Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 I guess his pic was taken too close to the watch so the rehaut looks warped and therefore conical. The bezel assembly is a good point. I wonder if it accepts gen parts without heavy mods. CN versions are always been more accurate on the details, on the other hand MBW has better global quality and case. So the wrong rehaut engraving in not a surprise. BTW let's wait for some better pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahchard Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 just got off the plane. just to clarify the rehaut is not that conical, just the way the photo turned out. apart from that, the watch feels good on the wrist, but i personally do not like the rehaut engraving... sides of the bracelet are brushed not polished, i am not sure what it is on the gen... crown seems a bit big and low... hopefully someone can post better pics. i will have a closer look tonite, maybe take the bracelet off and take some photos between the lugs.

perry563 Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Engraving is ROLEX not with a B. Although I will admit the engraving in general is not the best idea for this watch the fit and finish appears very good. Typical thick CG and lousey (but different) pearl. The hollow mid links are a real step in the right direction. Mine is on its way from TTK and I will post my thoughts then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribal Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 As I stated before... Bezel assembly is like Gen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribal Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 By the way bracelet looks wrong... On the new 2008 Modell there is no Engraving of the serial number on the first link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perry563 Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Tribal.......I take it that the watch you are showing is THE new watch from TTK? If so.....aside from the bezel assembly how is the rest of the watch? Is the pearl a step forward or back? How is the fit and finish? CG? etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perry563 Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Also since the bezel assembly is the same as gen will the watch take a gen insert without modding? The insert that comes with the watch is glued in just like all other Sub reps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terje Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 With the arrival of these new watches with the engraving, will the good old MBW`s still be available? Personally, I can`t stand the engraving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
its_urabus Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 neil that AP is hot. I think the orange makes it a bit trendy, but there is no discounting the the amazing design aesthetics of the watch. thanks for the amazing pics ps. what else did you bring back for us?
