docdoc Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 I wonder if anyone who have the aquatimer cousteau 2006 could tell me how blue is the strap and dial? If you have a pantone ref that would be awesome I tried some AD but as it is a limited edition they are long gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takashi Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 That's too bright of blue, in reality, it looks much darker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docdoc Posted September 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 That's too bright of blue, in reality, it looks much darker. So almost seems to be blue/black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 So almost seems to be blue/black Yes. The strap actually appears bluer than the dial...but is not really blow (NOT like a blue Breitling strap). My Pantone reference cards have disappeared...sorry. It's pretty dark on the dial.

asiparks Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 hi, I got an 06 from Ruby (nice replica) and another from Angus (Puretime), there's a comparison posted here somewhere...ah here ya go but in a nutshell: Both dials are the same base color, it is a very blue black. Ruby's had nicer subdials and much better aligned indices. Angus's had a more accurate day/date font and (very faint) lume on the inner bezel, whereas Rubies did not. Angus's strap was a very grey shade of blue and very stiff, Ruby's was very dark blue and is more accurate to gen in feel ( and I'm now the proud owner of not one, but 2 gen aquatimers, a Slevin and a Split Minute...pics to follow ). Angus's had a slightly better mechanical feel in the chrono dept, Rubies was a good bit cheaper esp. if you figure in shipping... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asiparks Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 I'll post more detailed picks in a separate post later... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ta8088 Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 more like this : cheers, Frank Those are great shots that give an idea of how dark the dial and strap on the 06 CD are. The dial and strap on it are definately darker then the blue SFSO and gen Pro Diver strap. They often appear almost black on the Cousteau.
