bosk Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 My AP final came from Silix...it took about 1.5 weeks but J&A have the best pricing at ~450. Small problems...slight scratch on the case (very minor) and a bit of uneven lume at the 8 marker. Other than these two issues....watch is perfect and functioning perfect. I could not have expected a better watch. Lume is actually very good on this version....the watch glows in room after entering indoors....something my superlumed PAM and gen dialed omega do. Rubber strap is awesome. Silix is actually a very dependable dealer....just a few days longer in shipping but this was during the olympics so who knows. I'll take some family pics of my AP collection soon: EOD MBW, Themes MBW, Jumbo MBW, Paris RO chrono, modded 36 RO for size comparison, RG Wempe, and a quartz montoya. -bosk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoman Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 i have one on order from silix as well - how is the rubber bezel? does it "feel" like a thin coat of rubber with steel underneath? there was that debate going on. look forward to seeing your other photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosk Posted August 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 The bezel seems fairly solid so I suspect it is a rubber covering over SS. The bezel has none of the rough rubber scratches I've seen on some ROOs so perhaps the factory decided to improve the process after a limited run. -bosk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
