Oyster Perpetual 41mm 124300 KING

Is there a ghost stem 2 position for date change?

Sometimes a datewheel is even left installed so you get a date change click when setting time and at some random time during the day. The hands are not set at midnight since there is no need.

No ghost position, I received my blue one, is not 100% gen like but neither like QCs.

Will show the result when I get my buff dial installed.

Just bought the king in silver too. I think I'll have to ask the mods to ban me from this forum

Oh wow, this doesn't look like that deep turquoise QC pics someone else posted at all.

This looks great! Can you post more pics in various lights?

Got mine today.. better than expected!. Overall high quality..bezel thikness is fine..no worries.
Dial color is fantastic..for some reason the blue looks different on the pics. in real life it's warmer, really gen-like.

A fine piece, enjoy

*officially excited.

Thanks for the real world pics folks, I'm convinced and will order one towards the end of CNY and benefit from the widespread 8% discounts. It will be interesting to compare it in hand to my EWF, which I gratefully got on a jubilee bracelet, hopefully the end links will fit nice and snug on the KING, these look fantastic on a jubilee.

Hi All, my only disappointment is the bracelet which can’t compare with clean of VS

That's interesting, I find just the bracelet also very successful (SEL fit, clasp, overall finish). What is even better with clean and VS ?

The only downside I noticed is the complete lack of AR (on the inside of the crystal....I think...).
The pictures above were only possible in a certain light and angle.
I will probably have this corrected.
Shouldn't be such a problem with the brighter dial colors.

 

[Teenyweeny]

Yes agreed on the AR issue.

I owned both EWF and GMF (first version) of this watch. In my opinion (considering the price) this might be version the best up to date. EWF looks great but bracelet and movement are not great at all. GMF has the thick bezel and shorter minute hand... I like the silver KING. Seems a bit more dull when compared to GMF but i think its fine. Can't wait to see more photos from members here, thank you all.

Below my GMF ( I’m guessing V2 as the hours, minute and second hand all seem correct length ? )

AR on the GMF seems good with no major reflection issues from any angle on direct sun.

Hey Mate, I wondered how do you planned to correct the AR??? I’ll like to take your advice

It’s my personal opinion thought, I’ve not done any in-depth comparisons. It’s just my feeling about how the bracelets feel compared to the CF DJ bracelets which I’ve now and compared to VS DJ which I’ve previously.

Here’s a few more photo, you may see some photo with the AR imperfections , but it’s just my personal view

Yours looks great ! Don't worry about the AR: the missing AR is not as clearly visible here as with the blue dial.

Multi-quote seems totally broken on RWI? I had to manually do this...

Regardless, thanks to you both, you deserve RWI kudos for taking the time to post pictures, reviews, and even better, videos. Nice one.

Love those watches, you've made sound choices, enjoy!
