mdg137 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Whats the consensus? Obvious flaws? http://www.puretimewatch.com/index.php?productID=1214 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jot9011 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Looks pretty good. The main contention is the movement holder. Rehaut engraving starting at 9 o'clock position is in question also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 The lume is nice...even if it's not true SL...the fact that they got orange glowing blue is good. This is supposed to be the green sapphire one and not the green BANDED regular sapphire right? He mentioned that in his post here, but the site didn't specify that.

gillism Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 I think i read somewhere someone did a group buy on a high spec'd milgauss - I wonder if anyone has one - or even better - got one for sale!!!!! Cheers G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkarpas Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 Just ordered one from trusty, we ll see if it stands up to the hype! I really like the dial colours and the green tint.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertk Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 what's the difference between this new version and the earlier one. I got this one about a month ago and love it. I don't see much difference, but than I never seem to find those little flaws very easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 Hey Robertk, According to HERE...the big difference is this one supposedly has a real green sapphire crystal...as opposed to a green band used the last round. I thought your version had the green crystal...what's your take? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertk Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Hey Robertk, According to HERE...the big difference is this one supposedly has a real green sapphire crystal...as opposed to a green band used the last round. I thought your version had the green crystal...what's your take? Well, I could swear mine has the green crystal not just the band. I'm going to look at it more closely. BTW, I was in an AD and looked at it through the case, and it looked exactly the same. Maybe my old eyes are fooling me, but if there is a difference it is not much when eyeballing it.

xxl17 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 If I am not mistaken the real one has black hands vs. silver hands on the rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Here are some good pictures of a genuine green MG... http://rolex.watchprosite.com/show-nblog.post/ti-445281/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 I think the pics make the hands and marker borders look black...but in fact everything is silver. Go to the Rolex site and you'll see it's all silver...better yet, go to an AD and check the thing out in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 If I am not mistaken the real one has black hands vs. silver hands on the rep. No, that's the reflective nature of a mirror finish. As a matter of fact, this is called "black polish" .. so chrome/perfect/smooth that it looks black at off-angles. they are not really black.

Guest asim Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 the BIGGEST difference with new one is the bezel!!! The old one had too much of a thick bezel which was a HUGE giveaway. the new "ultimate" looks to have got this sorted! i am impressed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJo35 Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 I just received mine from trusty! What can i say i am amazed by the quality and the weird green saphire with great ar. Nice blue lume on orange indices qnd very good clasp engravings! Here's a pic of my gen. It's got no AR (as gen rolex's never have had AR) This watch is so good, it simply cannot be replicated. In this case, as with all rolex, nothing beats genuine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkarpas Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 For sure nothing beats the genuine article, congrats for your gen and wear it well. I dont know ic its ar coating or not but under certain angles all the sapphire appears green and has verry little reflections something that make the dial pop out. For the money its a verry well made watch imho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star69 Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 i like this new version - may get it for my wife soon. she has the "old" with white dial = perfect beach watch for a woman cheers, Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
