In a thread like this you should really post links at least :p

Even better would be a re-hosted picture ;)

Hey Mickey you are totally right man. Problem is that I'm at work and to bypass the surfcontrol I have to use a proxy server and the links from it won't work in the forum. sorry bro :bicycle:

What are they drinking up in the far east?

If they really get this piece on the market with that known sec@12-price-tag....I am happy I spend half of that amount for the old sec@9 version.....

The biggest flaw is the dial...you cannot see any gears because of that re-designed movement.

My grandpa used to say: Get it right first time!

Yeah...right.

Well if I remember the secs@12 movement review correctly, there was a metal plate just sitting between the dial and movement, to create a slight gap for the date, they could have decorated that plate with the fake gears maybe and used a true skeleton dial? :)

From Francisco's review:

He said: "A first very thin plate appears. It is not screwed, only fastened by the pins of the dial. I cannot find the function of this plate."

So they could improve this if they thought of it........

There you go! Sorry, don't mean to be a wet blanket here, and I know its a rep, but this may very well be priced at the $700 mark or there abouts, thats a lot for a rep only to have a flaw that would drive a WIS insane. I just gotta wonder, obviously there was a lot of R and D going into this one, and its a rather complex design, so I just wonder why they would not try to remedy such a flaw with what would be easy to fix with the printing of gears on the movement plate. The gen has a skeletonized dial for a reason, this high end rep ignores that completely. Kudos to the makers for putting fourth the effort, and it really does look great, but it may have been better to have it with a solid dial instead of what they did. If 99.9% of the public would not know of this watch anyway, the only people who it would bother is us, and it will.
