milesd Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Here are some more pictures. I'll leave the review to the pros, but here are some info: Dial: Pros The markers are clean cut and the 1 has the sharp point Color on text is good LUME! Cons Fonts are all wrong Numbers are too thin compared to the gen Hands and outer ring are copper colored instead of gold Since this is a 6497 instead of the Minerva, the mark to the left of the second hand is too small due to second position It seems to have a glossy finish instead of Matte Case: Pros Amazing finish, the brushed Ti is great! The crystal has pretty good AR with very very very minimal blue It's real Ti Cons I now see the difference in DSN's Radiomir cases, they are too round compared to the squarish gen case The engraving is pretty bad, the engraving I got for my dog tag at PetSmart at those automated machines had better engraving I can't blame anyone for this, but the closed caseback, meh, it doesn't bother me as anything you do it, it's wrong Crown is wrong Knowing all this, I would still order it again. I've got a Ti bug and I just can't handle the Ti CGs on the historic models, so this will fill my Ti PAM need for a while. Almost forgot the lume. Both of these pictures are 1 second exposures however changing the ISO from 100 to 800 makes a big difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormTooper4 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Tasty very Tasty, Me likes alot Shame I think it would be just too big for me Thanks for sharing ST4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milesd Posted January 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 It actually wears pretty small as I think more Rads do. This is my first Rad, but I wear a 47mm 127 and this rad wears much smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milesd Posted January 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Yes they do, but they are supposed to be Pink Gold. It looks better in person than in the pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkirke Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 The photographs look wonderful my friend. I've always been a little bit of a fan of this model. Was always hoping someone would rep it. Now that it's done, might need to get it on the wrist. Excellent close-ups of the engraving. It's a good photo example of what you stated. Overall, I think you've got one good watch!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK471 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 May be wrong compared to the gen, but I think it's a very good looking watch. Great pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
