great review, I think you are up for an award. Is this RWI only?
Great watch, but I do not need a dress watch any more. I gave all my suits away, just have one dark one left
in case I need to go to a funeral The watch is on my list but not with priority. Knowing what is coming
I will save some money.

Hahah. Just joking, It's ok guru. This is my first time so I didn't expect too much. I'll make an RWI exclusive one next time. :)

Thanks. I'll run it through once more with cape cod when I can get it. It was out of stock at my local store yesterday I checked.

Nice job jam. You need to invest in a Dremel though. I did mine with great polishing putty, than jewelers rouge and cape cod to finish it off. I kept teethe Dremel around 12,000 rpm. You could do this entirely with cape cod, but you won't be able to jerk off for a couple of weeks. Of course, with a sexy AP on your wrist, you.might not need to. :)

Nice review, thanks!

Which one is the most accurate? Blue, white/silver, black?

I do live the gen blue dialed one but I fear to be disappointed by the rep...

My personal opinion:

Out of the box since there's no AR on the crystal:
White, black = blue

With AR:
Black = blue, white

Hey Jamztio, great review! Mine came yesterday. I'm having the same clasp issue as you. Is there anything I can do to make it a little less hair-triggered? Have there been any other discussions of this etc?

I haven't tried anything yet but Josh did offer me a replacement clasp if I send my clasp back to him, which I haven't managed to do so.
Seems we're the only ones with this issue unfortunately. I can still wear the watch though.

I took it to a local watchsmith yesterday, he said he could make it a bit better, but it's a manufacturing defect where the head of the clasp pins are too thin/small and hence will never properly attach. He filed it down a little, which greatly improved performance, but it's a temporary measure as the metal is too thin for the clasp to work long-term.

Like the clear backing. Very sleek looking watch all around
