b16a2 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 The Skyland doesn't come in white, it comes in a choice of black, grey and blue. I have the black dial, and couldn't be happier. It is the most accurate rep I have ever owned. The black dial looks really classy too, so I would recommend that dial colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milsub5517 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 i do not know if this is true but a few members here mentioned that Skyland was originally repped from grey dial gen, so hopefully they made the grey color dial as close as possible to the real thing. V2 ultimate for 200$ thats super cheap! buy it but make sure its not V1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b16a2 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Having seen this picture, I am not convinced that the v2 is any more accurate. The v2 just has a slightly smaller lume dot, rather than having one the same size, as the rest of the dial, but chopped in half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arminvanbuuren Posted August 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 silix has a v1 for 200 bux.. so yeah it's the v1 not v2.. i think they made it out of the blue gen.. i have a comparison pics thanks to dave123 rep gen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooky driver Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 still $200 for V1 is a good deal..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave123 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 I still think the Black is more accurate,nicer looking as well..... If it matters,the rotors are engraved on the V1 and not on the V2....matters to some.... still $200 for V2 is a good deal..... There is no $200 V2.

Dave123 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 (edited) Spooky....Nice edit... Pretty sure the $200-220 V1 only comes on rubber though,nice to have the SS bracelet. Edited August 7, 2008 by Dave123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey Padge Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Having seen this picture, I am not convinced that the v2 is any more accurate. The v2 just has a slightly smaller lume dot, rather than having one the same size, as the rest of the dial, but chopped in half. Yes the V2 has a smaller lume dot at 3, just like the genuine Skyland..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Thanks MP, I never noticed it was smaller on the gen too! Blast, I cant edit my mis-information above!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
