b16a2 Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 http://www.jpc8118.com/0317d-p-5589.html Apart from the usual datewheel problem, it looks quite good! Shame it comes with the 5002 strap design though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheaton26 Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 the sunken datewheel will probably not show as much as it's black on black. i'll be picking this one up as well ... thanks for posting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Oh cool, and they also made this super duper FIATINUM limited edition!!: Perfect for italian car lovers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 all 3 hands are to thinn and wrong designed... the "DAYS" are to big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Being that the date wheel is black it's harder to tell the recessed .. As for size of fonts... suggest we wait for the real deal to judge.. as lighting and angle can play a big part of the illusion ... thought we learned that one by now..

wheaton26 Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 all 3 hands are to thinn and wrong designed... the "DAYS" are to big ya, you're right. the hands seem to be the same size as the 5002 (which are thinner) ... good eye! i would have never noticed this, but now it's bugging me. lol. here's another gen shot for comparison ...

t Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 i think also that the dial color is to dark... the genuine is not dark black... it is more dark-gray or something else between dark-gray and black... but not really black. probably i am mistaken but i see a minimal difference on the bezel? The polished part of the bezel is in a minimal different degree (angle)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 That was invaluable info T !!.. a request to the maker from the dealer will be made..(regarding the hands) hopefully it can be corrected,.. the dealer is trying his best to alert the maker.. fingers crossed ..

Dani Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 I have had the gen and this is very off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TurleyC Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Those hands and thatstrap just kill it for me even though it still looks very good with the black date wheel. I have already emailed Andrew to get those updated. Soo ppl please make some noise, meaning email them to update those as I am sure they can have that much done.
