hackR Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 I just received this watch yesterday from Reg and thought I'd share some comments and pix...not meant to be a review - lord knows this watch has been discussed by many already - but just some reflections on a great value watch... I absolutely love the "texture of this entire watch -- the bezel, the dial, the combo of polished and brushed ss in the bezel and bracelet...the lume is very nice for a value watch -- definitely noticeable when you come in from sunlight...the printing on the dial is clear and crisp...the "YACHT-MASTER" and the seconds hand is deep, dark, blood red...I do feel that the 9 o'clock marker is slightly tilted - noticeable to me - and that the 6 o'clock marker is just ever so slightly tilted, as well...I plan to discuss this with Reg today...But hey, expectations have certainly been met with this model -- a great value piece -- with great wrist presence and sharp looks... This is the same watch reviewed by bklm1234 here: bklm1234 "swissmade" review and very similar to the one By-Tor reviewed here: By-Tor "swiss_made" review By-Tor's amazing review mentions that the "bklm1234" model with "swissmade" has a lighter date font that then "swiss_made" version he reviewed...man - i have to tell you, i can't see a difference...the date font looks thick to me...perhaps they changed it - who knows... An amazing value watch for the money...my "strategy" was to buy this value model to see if i really liked it before i decided to spend a heckuva lot more on the higher price models...i know you get what you pay for -- but i have to tell you, this model is a heckuva deal...my wrist is 7.25", but i wear my watches loose...at 40mm edge2edge w/o CG or crown - it's a nice size and wears larger... enjoy...R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Nice pics and very nice watch. I certainly like the idea of buying the inexpensive rep first to see if you like it. I bought a watch a few months ago from Reg- it was a delightful transaction, smooth as silk. I was a little hesitant because he's in EU and I'm here in the states, but it wasn't a problem. I'd do it again in a heartbeat, but I need to quit buying watches for a while! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
