And when you see that all new reps are getting more and more expensive we should see real and detail improvement to go with it..

The BB was amazing they took time to do it great, it gave j12 a very good reputation and now it's like they just don't work for improvements anymore. Take a look at the last 3 releases, the doha, the QEII, and the legacy Sorry to say that i really was waiting for theses but because it's 3 steps back i won't get any!!

I am in full agreement. For the Legacy, they should have corrected the rest of the dial flaws when they recalled it to correct the subdial@12. I think that we can all agree that the bumblebee is the recent winner they produced. It made a lot of us happy. Pity the rest were letdowns..

This watch is more and more disapointing.... I really wonder if it's J12 who made this one cause it's nowhere stated that it's a J12.

Looking at the QC pics there is something that everyone seemed to miss:

- The 12' hour marker is crooked !

Add to this:

- the mentioned broken chrono
- the bad silver clasp

I would reject it in the second ! And again, everyone should keep their money so they take back all stocks to modify it !
Damn guys we are paying 600$ + for this king of rep ???!!! Come on....:picard2:

This watch is from J12 and made only for Angus. ( like TA for Ryan and MH for Torro)
Now I guess Angus had to take some money in his hand for the development of this watch and this money is gone now.
So no updates. Just remember that Ryan took some of his own money to reprint the dial after he showed us the first Prototype
here in RWI. If nobody buys it, then they may fix it on Angus request.
This are just my thoughts.

Another issue no one has discussed, It's about the 5 and the 7 in the dial: they are not aligned. It seems number 5 it sits higher than number 7.

What a mess!!!

I've noticed that, and its just another horrible flaw in the seriously flawed dial.

If the Doha doesn't sell good i hope they gonna understand that with higher price must come higher quality but also more details for the futur Schumi and 2014 ROO's...

It was noticed for weeks now like the horrible 8 and 10 hours markers around the subdial at 9'
These dial flaws were known and "accepted" lol

Here we were just speaking about the QC pics posted by our RWI member.

But I really don't understand why it ended this way as it was an Angus/PT exclusive watch...so he was supposed to check and validate things :(
I am kind disappointed by him on this one.

The issue the the subdial @6 on the QC's posted, wasn't a case of the Chrono requiring resetting. If it were the chrono second hand & subdial @9 would be off zero also. What is/was relates to the Hour break on the chrono. A very common problem.

No QC pics on different forums except the one we saw earlier so i guess that either they are not fully available or they are not selling well
Hope it's number 2...

^^ The dial in real life would be amazing. I love the dial shine and sunburst effect
