_DC_ 218 Posted July 2, 2016 Interesting... thought it was Quartz but it's actually auto! It's too large for me but I'm almost definitely going to get one.... coz it's a Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar for fuck sake!! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Member X 91 Posted July 2, 2016 I wouldn't let this one wind down because you'll spend 10 minutes setting it from dead in the morning lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RichardMiami 4 Posted July 2, 2016 Note that Month and Year require manual setting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_DC_ 218 Posted July 2, 2016 I must be missing something coz I can't see a year indication! But in my experience the day of the week ticks over on these as well as the date so it would probably only be the month that needs manually changing... not exactly a chore once a month!

RichardMiami 4 Posted July 2, 2016 DC - you are right, there is no year indicator.. but there is a Leap Year indicator.. odd that. What the "year needs resetting" probably relates to is January 1 - you would have to reset the day at the start of each year... but i am guessing here.

_DC_ 218 Posted July 2, 2016 Yeah it's got the leap year indicator at 12 o'clock but there's no hand (should be a small hand stacked bellow the month hand). Would me a bit much to expect full QP functionality from a 21j movement, lol!! But hey it's rep makers, they're always making shit up!! I'll let everyone know once I receive it DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duzza 182 Posted July 2, 2016 This looks nasty to me. The day/month/date print all over the subdial spacing rings for starters. Not good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boycie 473 Posted July 3, 2016 Looks nice apart from the calendar week indicator looks to be a running seconds hand on the video. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't see any print on the subdial rings?!? DC I kind of see it... you mean the months are printed close to the edge/on the silver? It's a bit rough, but cheap I'm more bothered by the gormless expression on the sun's face Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_DC_ 218 Posted July 3, 2016 Yeah you were never going to get a weeks indicator from a 2813 movement so a seconds hand makes good sense! I kinda see what you mean about the print but blimey, so tiny you'll never notice! Well I'm looking forward to receiving mine, it's about time they atempted this!

Theduke.williams 1,033 Posted July 3, 2016 Curiouser and curiouser. Chapter ring scale runs to 52, could this be week number or year number? Does it rotate on the pusher? Too many unknown functions for my liking, the dealers video could be much more informative. Also not fond of the way the date numbers reverse on the 3 subdial, makes 9 and 19 look like 6 and 16, far better in my opinion for the numbers to read as if the base is pointing to the centre of the sub dial. _DC_ Please, oh please do post some pictures or a video when you receive this watch, and put our minds at rest by explaining the sub dial functions. May be worth a punt when I get some disposable income (what's that I hear you say!). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_DC_ 218 Posted July 3, 2016 ^^^ Slow you are :yoda: The dealer video is already up, and we've just been posting about the week indicator (yes that is what it is) and on the rep it's just a seconds hand!! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DC The week indicator being a running seconds hand kills it for me. I'd rather is just stay still honestly. Then that would be rather silly though wouldn't it? To me it seems a sensible choice, but to each his own! The moonphase is probably the most irritating detail, but I'm already wondering if I could remove and repaint it to look more like the photorealistic one on the gen!! Hmm!
