asiparks Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 I'm not sure what you mean here I read it and cannot see anything wrong nor special ??? I think he's referring to the fact that you can read all about the "gas escape blah blah" without having to turn the watch face down interesting looking clasp and divers extension, wonder how they'll do repping that....

Greystash Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 It's also chunky, but not good chunky. I don't like this watch........ At all Yep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 I've decided I really like this watch and can forgive the text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stilty Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Damn.... I was hoping for a blue lume shot! I second Pug. I really like it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Damn.... I was hoping for a blue lume shot! Not the only one. Aside from the promo shot of course. I sense that a real world lume shot will be the dealmaker for some, me included. But still the overall heft of this beast appeals to my aesthetic senses, I don't know why but it just does. Bear in mind though that according to an AD pal of mine who's had it on his wrist, there is an issue with the lugs "hanging air" - sits high due to caseback and chunkiness of case means its not the most comfortable wear if you have average or smaller wrists. Not anywhere as near as comfy as the 116710. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llsteve80 Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 I would like to see the blue lume also. I love the domed crystal and new extension too. Does it also have solid midlinks? If it does it's probably a really heavy watch.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest carlsbadrolex Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Spoke to my AD yesterday... She is expecting mine to be available for pickup September 10th. Then you will get all the lume shots you want and some that you probably wont want! T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztech Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 I like it as well. I don't like the writing, but I think I can forgive it as I really like the new size. The old ones were just a wee bit small for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceberg1459 Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 looks mighty and awesome on wrist but definetly not for everyday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjfesq Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Too many damn words on this watch! One more thing, If you are gonna make a big bitch like this at least beef up the bracelet size to match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stilty Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 and some that you probably wont want! T LOL.

Dizzy Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 did they seriously leave the bracelet as 20mm????????? Looks kinda funny.. the bracelet is so skinny compared to the watch head.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztech Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 did they seriously leave the bracelet as 20mm????????? Looks kinda funny.. the bracelet is so skinny compared to the watch head.. I tend not to like any watch with a bracelet smaller than a 22mm. I also do tend to like those that start at X mm then decrease to Y.

sander Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 I know most of you disagree but I think it looks cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 It will look amazing, covered with cobwebs, sitting in the bottom of 1 of my watch cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 I agree that the case is horribly out of proportion with the bracelet, it has a really thick chunky/clunky case, with a tiny skinny SS band, nasty! This picture shows what I mean clearly: And the pearl is really terrible, sticking out like a little nipple on the bezel! As for the two tier rehaut, with the writing all over it, I can't understand what they were thinking?! It only detracts from the watch and draws your eye away from the dial This watch fits the description of fugly in many, many ways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yaron Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 The watch does not look bad at all, although the pics in TZ are not great. In Rolex website it looks very cool (can be downloaded as screen saver..). I am sure when it comes out many of us (even some who claim now how ugly it is) will run buying it. I know some people who are in the waiting list for the gen, and they will have to wait quite a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
