And Bobby Axelrod wore this one in “billions” for a lot of episodes

Do you have pics and the episode, cause everything I’ve seen suggests he was wearing a blue dial ROC... and a blue camo 44 mm ROO. If he wore an actual blue batons / beast that would raise my respect for the writers of that show further, as well as AP for choosing the original or reissue for the placement.

the 26411PO will change 6/9 o'clock white hand to red hand... will be correct.

and the 26237ST blue baton will fix the silver date window to correct black window.:)

Where I need to be.
As PallMall noted and as see in Gen pics (http://rhforum.club/archive/index.php?thread-270.html)...correct date window matches dial color [navy], not black...hopefully JF nails this, if so I'm a buyer!

As per what QueTip mentioned, the date window surround is matte black. No I do not own this model, but I have seen it during a local AP boutique event. Like I said so on a few occasions, please don't pass on the wrong info! I am not a fan of using pics as a basis of comparisons and sharing facts when it comes to color and finish ;)

I stand corrected, thanks for confirming this Legend!

Angus just confirmed via email, re. date window, "There are different ideas about the color but the maker will make its dark blue for the first batch"

I saw the posted on PT a week or so ago and it had the white hands at 6/9 and now it shows updated pictures, so I guess this is accurate.

kobe24 do you know if it will come with a leather and rubber strap? and is that rubber strap blue or black and I can't tell from the pictures and it doesn't specify.

the ss bracelet watch won't have free extra strap, need to buy alone.

This has always been a classic and I'm glad to see the reissue promoted the factory to turn something out. If this rep gets popular it will be fun to spot the improbable sudden proliferation of blue baton reissues in the wild.

Wonderful watch indeed...I fear that this light grey will be not easy to rep....

Actually they did a good job for the Lebron James which has a similar dial color. But you never know, the factories have been known to do inexplicable things like messing up various details which are “no-brainers” lol

The caseback is thicker than usual, what a monstrosity, also what happened to the famous bezel/bezel screw fit that JF was known for?? Now the fit is simply BAD!
