lego67 0 Posted December 25, 2016 (edited) Hopefully will see this on a wrist in the new year ...I am in two minds as I do prefer the old textured dial vs this new version, especially the black version. However the new date window placement is good and the finish seems pretty good ... not a VC expert , this would be my first so interested what the pros think of this new rep ... now available on stainless or rubber ... mix and mach ... site pics always leave me guessing meh ... so hopefully see a 'live one' ... pros chome in looks pretty accurate .. "best edition' as usual .. Ref and good pics of the new VCO here ... https://monochrome-w...4500v-sihh2016/ and from TT ... video link on rubber ... https://player.vimeo.com/video/191994211 Japanese Miyota 8215 Automatic Movement, modified with engraved & painted bridges and Rotor like Calibre 5100 options ...

Thelittleprince 2 Posted December 25, 2016 6 and 12 look so fat in the rep lol Might be wrong but also the hour and min hand look fat as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lego67 0 Posted December 25, 2016 (edited) 6 and 12 look so fat in the rep lol Might be wrong but also the hour and min hand look fat as well Think your half right ... the 6 and 12 in the side by side are both gens from article ... doh, however didnt spot it but I think the hands are from the previous rep and dropped on the new model' ... although in the video they seem 'slimmer' ...

Thelittleprince 2 Posted December 25, 2016 I actually mean on the rep from trusty! Look closely at 6 and 12, they look really fat compared to the gen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thelittleprince 2 Posted December 25, 2016 On the gen 9 o clock is fatter than 12 and 6. But on the rep 12 9 and 6 looks like the exact same size Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lego67 0 Posted December 25, 2016 On the gen 9 o clock is fatter than 12 and 6. But on the rep 12 9 and 6 looks like the exact same size RGR ..RGR ... however thats the 'OLD' Model ... chime in on the new version whcih obviously has no numerals ..other than that damn little hole in the dial ... does anyone really still need a date window any longer ... aesthetically speaking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thelittleprince 2 Posted December 25, 2016 (edited) Then you were right! It was the angle! In that case can i complain about the date window in the rep? Edited December 25, 2016 by Thelittleprince Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lego67 0 Posted December 25, 2016 (edited) Ya figure you go to the trouble to do a new rep ..but can't be assed to cut out a new date window ..so I know we can use these old dials laying around . just keep it on the QT ... there must be some dude at the factory, at least one with THE INTERNET ..thinking ..they are gonna catch us !!!

Majwilliams0308 0 Posted February 13, 2017 I owned this one for a bit. I loved the color, feel and look of the bracelet. Unfortunately I thought I was buying the Miyota 9015 (28800bph) version of the watch so I sent it back. However, the watch was nice despite the spelling error on the back.
