Mickey Padge Posted June 21, 2008 Report Posted June 21, 2008 Could just be the new high beat movement with functional regulator, Which you may remember from such watches as, Chopard GT XL, black and silver dial, and the new Concord C1.....

ubiquitous Posted June 21, 2008 Report Posted June 21, 2008 Hmmmm.... Josh and Angus' sites both state 28.8k a/h movements...
cskent69 Posted June 21, 2008 Report Posted June 21, 2008 Looks like the screws on the bezel are wrong...should be polished.
Guest Sql_pl Posted June 21, 2008 Report Posted June 21, 2008 Now imagine this one repped - that would be something! In fact they already have all the ingredients - secs at 12 movement, basic case, they already can handle woking on ceramic to make a bezel and they also can make pretty good rosegold coating... hmmm... A dream....
Jawo Posted June 21, 2008 Report Posted June 21, 2008 So is it confirmed that the screws on the bezel is brushed on the rep and not polished?

Mickey Padge Posted June 21, 2008 Report Posted June 21, 2008 So is it confirmed that the screws on the bezel is brushed on the rep and not polished? Can't tell with the crappy dealer pictures, I somehow doubt they could screw that up, but you never know
ubiquitous Posted June 21, 2008 Report Posted June 21, 2008 They look polished- I see a slight reflection on one of the pics...
Mickey Padge Posted June 21, 2008 Report Posted June 21, 2008 Angus (Puretime) has uploaded some really nice, high resolution photos to his site. Also his price is the same as the other dealers......
cskent69 Posted June 21, 2008 Report Posted June 21, 2008 So far - it looks like these are more accurate than we thought. I like this one - nice black lettering. I hope that the date surround is right.
Guest nikos1978 Posted June 21, 2008 Report Posted June 21, 2008 the big problem is in last puretime photo the glass in the date is down from the dial and not in the dial is wrong
italiano17771 Posted June 21, 2008 Report Posted June 21, 2008 the white with grey subs and the black seem to be the most accurate. the white with black numbers does NOT exist. if they were going for the safari, they failed on the attempt. the safari dial should be an off-white (cream) color with white subs. just wish they did the rubber strap...i like the roo much better on leather on rubber.
Jawo Posted June 21, 2008 Report Posted June 21, 2008 Are there any strap dealers that make a horned alligator strap for the ROO?
laffy Posted June 21, 2008 Report Posted June 21, 2008 is this the same model that king sells for 455$ ? http://www.kingshowbox.com/goods.php?id=1167 Im confused, the area around the date looks black ?
Jawo Posted June 21, 2008 Report Posted June 21, 2008 Seems close, but King's model has a sapphire class
Mickey Padge Posted June 21, 2008 Report Posted June 21, 2008 is this the same model that king sells for 455$ ? http://www.kingshowbox.com/goods.php?id=1167 Im confused, the area around the date looks black ? Same watch, secs@12. Just the lighting of the photograph. Mind you the price is listed as $455?!
Sir-Lancelot Posted June 21, 2008 Report Posted June 21, 2008 Same watch, secs@12. Just the lighting of the photograph. Mind you the price is listed as $455?! If that price is correct, that is a good thing.
Jawo Posted June 21, 2008 Report Posted June 21, 2008 I don't think there is a way to determine if the movement is good without disassembly. Maybe if the watch was sent to The Zigmeister for a servicing, he could elaborate on the quality and reliability. I was the first to send him a Bentley 6.75 for servicing and he did an awesome write up on the new movement. That
Guest Sql_pl Posted June 21, 2008 Report Posted June 21, 2008 Guys look at this pic from King: That datewheel is GOOD!
