Member X 91 Posted January 11, 2011 Ok, I'm cross-posting this thread along with HF 'cos I'm impatient today lol So, prompted by boil's listings for sale of his RXWs on HF, I noticed the cali dial version on the RXW site: http://www.rxw.jp/eng/poseidon/index.html and for US$550 it seems a bargain - 10ATM WR, Anti-magnetic casing, superlume, sapphire, Dubuis leather strap, Swiss 6497 and 1 year warranty :shock: But upon further investigation it appears to have bigger dial markers than previous versions? These pics illustrate seemingly massive markers: http://forums.watchuseek.com/f29/fs-rxw-po...ost1197979.html http://www.visiotime.com/index.php?page=Pr...ail&id=2969 http://www.visiotime.com/index.php?page=Pr...ail&id=2978 compared to an older version with orange rail track and smaller indices? http://forums.watchuseek.com/f71/best-pane...tml#post1697962 http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?...7518&drgn=1 or an older (even older?) version with white rail track and smaller indices? http://www.network54.com/Forum/246582/mess...ia+Dial+in+S-ST I much prefer the smaller markers, and with some bow tie hands it would look not too dissimilar to a PAM 249 which I lust after, bar a different crystal/bezel profile and a thicker case... lol Can anyone confirm if there's been different versions? I'm extremely tempted to spend my current watch savings fund on the current one, but if it has massive markers I will perhaps hold off... Thanks all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnG 41 Posted January 13, 2011 hey, its a molnija with little stickers on it! Nice case/back/dial - how much? Can it be had without the movement, just the case set and dial? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Member X 91 Posted January 13, 2011 I fear Baldrick's pic is now merely a TTK relic of history! Oh, and thank you KBH for moving this after I posted the thread in the wrong forum! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldrick 1 Posted January 14, 2011 I fear Baldrick's pic is now merely a TTK relic of history! Correctomundo, just like JohnG, a relic, but with no history Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnG 41 Posted January 14, 2011 Nope, there were no Molnijas with Rolex decals back in TTK's days, that is a new pic. How much man? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PatronSaintofChainsaws 1 Posted January 14, 2011 They were around...I've seen a handful of them in the 1st-generation era Silix cases, circa 2007/2008. DSN also had them around this time period. Nope, there were no Molnijas with Rolex decals back in TTK's days, that is a new pic. How much man? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You must be one of those forum 'experts', yes there were, check the exif data on the photos, not a new photo at all.
