Guest Sql_pl Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Today I got a parcel. As some of you know when ordering my ROO I was torn between an all SS black Themes or Rubberclad with white dial. I even made a poll about that. In the end I decided to get a ss case, ss bezel black themes with rubber strap from Angus. Well... today it arrived. The thing is it looks like we had a misunderstanding with ANgus because this is what I got: A black dialed Rubberclad. A version that I never liked but have to say that I really like it now that it is here. I am now deciding if I should keep it or not but keeping it seems better idea that shipping it back to CN. So anyway here are some pics: And some wristshots: Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FxrAndy Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 i like it too, is there any lume on the numerals?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 I have the all black OffShore, but it has no numeral lume, I think your version does..... I would stay with this watch If I were you.... Wear it well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Yes it has lume on both hands and numerals... and pretty good lume acually! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertk Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Beautiful watch. I think I prefer the rubber to the bracelet. Too much bling with the bracelet. The rubber is classy. Wear it well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fotoman Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 i want to get this model some day, and this is the color scheme i have decided i'd like the best stick with this one!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Ok now that I have some time I would like to add some input. So after a day with I think I like it enough to keep it. It is not exactly what I wanted but it is OK... and I also have a Skyland on the way so I still have something to be looking forward to I have to say the quality is amazing. I have read somewhere that the MBWs where better finished - no way. I had an mbw and this one seems to be superior in every way. The black rubberclad that I got also seems to be the closest of all the sec at 12 ROO reps available now. The only flaw that's noticeable is that the subdials should be a little bit less shiny but it actually looks worse in the pics than in real life. Another one is that the crown is a bit too high but there i nothing you can do about it as the movement is a 7750 here. For extremely anal guys I can also add that the clasp should be engraved deeper - now it looks like it was laser etched or something. The dial is beautifully finished and it has great (at least for rep standards) lume on markers and hands - the lume that is visible when you enter the building even during the day after having it on outside. It has all the correct markings and "swiss made" that was not available in later MBWs. The crown is nicely brushed which is also correct vs the incorrect polished one that was in mbw. One more thing that people never mentioned here is that in this sec at 12 the pushers are not sticking out as much as they do in MBW - this is also an improvement - in the mbw they were too far out. The caseback engravings are better in this version too. MBWs had them bolder and with a bit different font - this was correct for pre-themes models but MBW used this caseback in all their dial variations. I am also impressed with strap endlinks that are REALLY well finished. You need to see them to really appreciate it. Rubber strap and bezel are of great quality but I am afraid rubber may get scratched overtime so I hope replacements will be available. My watch is an Angus-Marker-Date-Surround model but it looks great - definately better than with silver aperture. Only in direct sunlight and upon close inspection you can see it was made with marker as it shows that marker-ish purple color instead of clear black. So far the watch keeps great time, will update you if anything goes wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecsm Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 (edited) Good choice, it's a great looking watch. If I could take a step back I'd order your watch as well. I have the SS in white/grey and have brown discoloration on the dial. I asked one of the dealers about rubber straps and end links and was told it would be available in future.

italiano17771 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 thats a beauty! you should definitely keep that one. im sure down the road they will make some ss model limited editions. this way you got the rubberclad and then you can have a ss bezel safari....or navy! navy would be my choice.

opelgt73 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Rubber strap and bezel are of great quality but I am afraid rubber may get scratched overtime so I hope replacements will be available. I just got mine on Friday. And this was my only major problem with the watch. After only wearing it for a day the rubberized coating on the bezel started pealing off. Beneath it looks to be hard plastic or some type of ceramic, either way it is still black. I will try to get some good pictures of it tomorrow.

watchturbo Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 very sharp looking rubberclad. congrats! now get a Strapluxe black gator strap and you are set! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajoesmith Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Thats an awesome watch but for the price of this watch im afraid the crap black date window fix with marker really spoils it! Looks cheap and shine a purple colour. Youll need to get that fixed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cskent69 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 I wish Angus would use something other than a marker. I mean - would it be so hard to use a little matt model black paint? I would keep it too. If you get a watch from CN that is working - in my book - it is a keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 It's a great watch. I recommend 2 things: get the carbon fiber strap from Oracle. It matches the dial perfectly. Also, get the steel bezel version, too! The rubber is delicate. It does peel very easily, so be careful. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 good news about the lume, i was getting to the point of thinking that non of the black dials had any lume on the numerals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sql_pl Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Did not have any problems with this watch and it was used daily for like 2 months. I got another one later on but sold it as I somehow find Hublots much more attractive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
