richard lawton Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hi All Well I received my white dial with grey sub dials this morning I am extreamly pleased with this watch, running well, chrono working correctly, all resets to 12.00. Quality is very good and the minor differences are not really that noticable. In reality the date is a little to the right, the crown is about 2mm to high and the center of the hour hand diameter is a little large, but to be honest overall a very good watch and unless side by side with an original not really noticable. I can live with these issues and save $20,000 Regards Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadog13 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 nice one Richard...I'll be waiting for others dials to be released and hopefully with the leather straps...then I'll buy one definitely...the ROO's are one of my favorites! as for the flaws...since I am living with the flaws of the MBW EoD, I belive I'll do well with the chinese version with running sec at 12...

HauteHippie Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Great looking piece. I love the white dial with silver subhands.... Enjoy and report back to us on the sec@12 longevity! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Great looking piece, Mr. Lawton! Out of curiosity... How big is your wrist? Looks right at home, yet I know that the ROO wears big thanks to it's large size (measuring lug to lug)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Great! THanks for the pics Richard! Can't wait till they make EOD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard lawton Posted June 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hi Ubi, This watch is the first i've received where I had to remove 3 links to fit my wrist is 8.25in (I'm 6'5" tall) I have no problem wearing large watches, the only problem is reverting back to a 40mm which now feels too small.

MADRED7 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Oho...thank you Richard, I thought I can wait for the black dialed version to be corrected....I fear I will order this exact one you show....NICE! Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Nice watch....but I'll keep my $$ with me for now and wait to see what other variants this comes out in. Meanwhile...will be getting the Grand Carrera, C1 & Defy Extreme. Wear it well! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Richard Looks great! Very proportioned to your wrist! Can't wait for mine to arrive... Though I have a feeling that it may not look quite as natural on my 6.75" wrist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bong Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 (edited) Hi All ... In reality the date is a little to the right, .... Regards Richard Richard, I don`t think the date window is the problem, if you compare it with the gen you can see that it`s the inner bezel which makes it look wrong, it`s to wide.

richard lawton Posted June 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hi Bong I don't think so here is an original next to mine see what I mean Regards Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Thank you RL for the pics... I was anticipating since 1:30am to get to my lap top... and I concur.. you wear it very well.. it looks totally made for your wrist.. it may look somewhat of a boulder on mine congrats big time.. I have got a feeling it will be on your wrist for a while now... Live Strong and Wear it Well !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jot9011 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 NICE watch!!!! I like this version the best. How is the font on the sub-dials compared to the GEN? Looks a little different form the pics but may just be photography angles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Quality rep that's for sure In the rep/gen comparison picture, what is the deal with the genuine's inner tachymeter ring? It looks like there is a big gap between the rehaut area and the crystal or something? See the black area? It is not present on the rep and would bug me even on the gen.... Still there is something stopping me getting one of these, and I can't put my finger on what exactly.... Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sql_pl Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 (edited) Richard I remember you also had an MBW - is there a chance you could do a side by side of them? Is everything just as good on this new version as it was in MBW one in terms of overall thickness of the case, caseback and bracelet?

sander Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hi Bong I don't think so here is an original next to mine see what I mean Regards Richard Hi Richard, It looks really amazing. Wear it well. One question. It seems that the bezel screws stick out a little bit. Especially at the 5 and 8 marker. The one at 10 seems to be like it should be. Is this something you will also see in real life or is it just the picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
