Without pics....this thread is usless.

It's like a chick with hairy armpits.

 

[JellyJoe]

[VB_Spike]

Ewww...tastes like french people....

 

[Q5?]

I swear to the RWI Gods that I will take that pic down as soon as I see D-man's pic of his HEV valve. I promiss.And if he puts a pic up of the caseback......I will put a pic up of her shaven instead. :q5:

 

[dadem0n]

Here's a quick iphone pic of my new Porikaa 45mm.
It presume the 42mm is the same.

Eh Hmmm... I believe the RWI Gods are calling you... :biglaugh:

dadem0n: wrong he valve position.

Yep. Same old POrikaa.

 

[9postguy]

Yep. Same old POrikaa.

too early to tell

dadem0n isn't the OP

 

[rod442]

Comparing Dr Verylong's pic to mine (42mm) that I recieved a week ago; the HE is correct.

At least, if I use a ruler to line up the 4 and 10 markers; it bisects the valve. Same as when I do that to the pic posted. I guess it could be a perception issue, but I dont think so.

 

[Q5?]

OK let's be very clear. The HEV should be up a bit from the 10 on the dial.
It should not sit right on the 10.

And before anyone calls out that this discussion is to nit picky and that 99% of the planet won't notice. It would be nice, to me anyway, that the factories are still trying to improve their designs.

Eh Hmmm... I believe the RWI Gods are calling you... :biglaugh:

Like 9postguy said...."too early to tell." The OP has not posted his pic's yet.

 

[dadem0n]

Yeah sorry about the confusion.
My pic is a new porikaa from the current batch but 45mm which is different to OP.
Mine is the old He position I think.

 

[Time4Direct]

think there is only one version tells are short hands and over large HE valve . this watch has not changed in 2 years everyone stocks them

 

[Monicker]

Like 9postguy said...."too early to tell." The OP has not posted his pic's yet.

Doh!!!

:facepalm:

I stand corrected. Actually, I'm starting to get used to that picture. What does that mean???

 

[Dr Yan]

http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/daith...key=Gv1sRgCND6mqm3m4KHoAE#5448623197521856226

ok this is a wristshot.
dont know if you can see for definite but the hev is definitely more north than the previous models.

ok this is another shot
still not great but i think you v=can see.

ok lads.
i think this last pic will show for definite that this version of the porikaa has the hev in the correct position, im sorry im not better at photographing it but i am looking at a previous porikaa and this new one and it is definitely more north than previous.

the AR is also heavier on this new one and has a definite indigo hue to it.

[Q5?]

Thanks for the follow-up. It looks like it's over the zero in 50.
Nice observation.
Hope other buyers or you can post a cleaner pic soon.

How is the Planet Ocean wording on the caseback? Are the P and O larger than the rest of the lettering?

I have removed the hairy armpit chick pic as promised. :q5:

 

[Dr Yan]

the case back is the same as always, PLANET OCEAN all the same size.
The clasp engraving is a little better than before. deeper and cleaner/crisper.

Thanks for removing the pic ;-)
