sardonix 1 Posted November 11, 2012 Nice one G - what do you think ? i'm loving mine especially now it's on a decent Hi J, I think its a piece of art even for a rep made in China. First the color of the RG on the case is amazing nice of tint. What i very much like is the reflection of the golden rims on the numerals and chronos. They realy pop out in different light conditions. In contrast with the Safari it is a watch which puts also a big smile on my face. Maybe a litlle high price but for me its worth the high price because its special. Here a pic where the rims come out nice, taken in cloudy weather against the Dutch sky.

baxter 6 Posted November 13, 2012 nah corv - you just need to give in and join us you won't be dissappointed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corv99 2 Posted November 13, 2012 Very tempted Baxter But it's still a lot of wonga also need decent strap by sound of it as well Step back from the computer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baxter 6 Posted November 13, 2012 Point taken corv - it does add up when you take the strap into account - luckily i already had one so didn't have to shell out on top of the watch. All i can say is, if you're looking for a gold AP this really is a cracking watch IMO. I had been scouring the M2Ms for a few months for one of these and putting up WTB notices across all the boards as it wasn't available any more so when it came up i just couldn't resist. Weak i am Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
