Corum Admiral's Cup 48 Black Dial Reference Pics

Well, this is the latest in my collection. It's a very well made watch and you really get the most out of what I've paid for. A+ for the watch itself. More complete review on Other Brands section.

Enjoy the pictures:

I really like this watch, I looked at your pics on the other site. Frankly I can't tell the difference between the rep and the gen even when side by side. They did a nice job on the caseback too.

You are certainly correct cybee. I am very impressed with the details on this watch. Especially the caseback. Weak points are probably the crown (look to be made of SS instead of Ti), wrong date/day font (they are printed pretty badly too) and sub par AR quality. Otherwise, this watch is just perfect in almost every senses.

initially I wanted the blue dial...since almost 90% of my reps are with black dial...but after seeing this pics i don't regret that I ordered the same one...

great pics taka, and thank you 4 them...

@dadog: problem with blue dial is wrong background colour for day and datewheel. It's a beautiful watch nonetheless.

I strapped this baby on at the AD yesterday and it is a very cool watch. Great presence and a beautiful design. Gonna have to get me one of those.

I tried one of these on at the AD as well, that's what sold me on this watch it is AWESOME! Great presence on the wrist and very comfortable to wear, I have one en-route from Angus, I CAN'T WAIT!!! By the way nice pics Taka, makes waiting for mine to arrive even harder :?

Corum is one of my very favorite brands. How heavy does it feel on the wrist since it made from titanium correct? I would totally get one if it came on the TI or SS bracelet.

Weight it about 130gram. I opened it up and movement retainer ring weights quite a lot (made of solid piece SS). Here is the relumed result of this watch. Changed the datewheel too.

I don't think the SS crown is a fault. Here is a pic of the gen:

Thanks a lot for the reference picture. This replica is indeed very close to the genuine. Datefont is definitely not a standard ETA font and the replica's incorrect too.

That's a nice lume shot.

Thanks. C1 Superlume is not as bright as C3 but it lasts pretty long. Not bad for such big hands. I choose not to relume the dial. It's just too... intricate. I will just leave it as it is. Again, I would stress that if your wrist can take this size, go for it!

This watch is off for double sided AR coating:
