slai Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 The safari seems to be the right cream coloured dial too.
Mickey Padge Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 The safari seems to be the right cream coloured dial too. I am not so sure, have they been messing with the photos colour balance? Trusty original photo: Photo with contrast corrected: We need better pictures, hopefully Puretime will update his website soon, his pictures are much better..... Cheers!
Mickey Padge Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 In fact King has the updated version on her site, and it shows that the colour is still white, and proves the photos on Trustytime/Perfect-Clones were made to look more cream in colour, not good.... Cheers!
slai Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 Sneaky! But I'm glad it's not fixed...I really didn't want to have to buy a 3rd ROO in as many months.
Mickey Padge Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 Sneaky! But I'm glad it's not fixed...I really didn't want to have to buy a 3rd ROO in as many months. "Sneaky" is one word for it, yes Just out of interest, I thought only the black dialed ROO's should have the black date surround?
supermanx Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 I am not so sure, have they been messing with the photos colour balance? WOW, next we'll be getting descriptions with A+++ super swiss quality with genuine dial b.s.
Mickey Padge Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 WOW, next we'll be getting descriptions with A+++ super swiss quality with genuine dial b.s. It is poor form indeed, just compare this colour change, from the original picture, to my slightly contrast adjusted one, and then Kings.... There is only one reason why they would purposely do this, and it is not a good reason. Are they expecting us to believe they are that bad at taking photos, and this is just a coincidence? At least Kings photo shows the watch in the correct manner
MADRED7 Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 ...and lets presume they did not only change the datewindow-color but the dial-color as well.....lets say they really changed it into cream (allthough I don
Mickey Padge Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 Yeah it should have a cream dial, dark brown numerals and white/silver subdials. So this dial is the one not to buy..... Gen: If they did this dial right, it would be the one I would want, on a brown croc strap....
Mickey Padge Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 The black dial ROO's do look really nice now, no metallic shine to the new black date surround either Cheers!
Dani Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 It is poor form indeed, just compare this colour change, from the original picture, to my slightly contrast adjusted one, and then Kings....

At least Kings photo shows the watch in the correct manner Yes it is a coincidence mr conspiracy maker Look at the Super Avanger white dial when that came out from Trusty/josh same white color in photo cream like. Its a fault in their photo skills not a conspiracy to scam
Mickey Padge Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 I am not saying it was 100% intentional, but it does seem strange that the photos of this particular watch were made to look more cream in colour.... The diifference is very obvious, no? My first thought was that they had fixed the dial colour, It seems I was not alone in thinking that.... Cheers!
Mickey Padge Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 Its a fault in their photo skills not a conspiracy to scam Could very well be a fault of there photos skills, I never said it was a "conspiracy to scam" It is just a tad misleading, intentional or not......
CY0811 Posted August 23, 2008 Report Posted August 23, 2008 Have they lumed the themes (non rubber clad) dial yet?
