SIHH 2014 Safari Gen / Rep ..side by side

[andman]

Looking forward to seeing your Jacob Guru.... glad to hear he's got a J12 and so there shouldn't be any fit issues ..

Will you be doing AR as well... The dial sure deserves it.....really striking ..

At some point this will have to go to Domi to get done together with the date wheel colour

Beige/brown dials call for a 2XAR Xtal with a slightly gold hue. I have one on order.
Nice work guru that Jacob is equipped to deal with orders for J12 Safari straps. Vic also had a 2014 Safari strap up for sale as well.
I flip flop on whether I like the 20mm buckle or the 18mm deployant. It is hard to decide in my case as the deployant is very comfortable for me.

I had to throw a rubber on it as I was sweating like a pig in Florida for a month:

Before we go all fan-boy on the V2 Safari, I did put it under 10X and 15X loupe. :evil: he he, it is not perfect, but it is near perfect.

Will post it when I get it.
I also will have AR on mine, Domi has the crystal already.

Now can you confirm to me that the DW color on gen is a mat dark brown and not black? Will search for the right color when I am back home.

Hmm.. I don't see the gen dw cutout as dark brown, even though it has been said on various press releases as "these new ROOs have the same color accent on the dw as the dial". The Safari dw cutout as well as its dw are clearly black, in my eyes.

However, it's different on the 2014 Navy. The dw itself, not cutout, is actually dark blue, not black.

A friend of mine had the gen in his hand and told me it is dark brown and not black. He also has the rep now and compared it again.
So before modding it black, I will see the AD or wait for Andman.

Same as the one I have on my Old/Original safari. Great looking strap..... but I'm thinking more selfishly about my Panda build

It's still black to me. Haha. The same as every ROO with black dw cutout.
Well, it's not a difficult job to repaint it anyway.

 

[guru]

I would say let the color master slaughterer decide which color it is and I believe he could mix something up and send it to Domi

Is it me or is my DW cutout black in my QC pic?

 

[slaughterer62]

There is a 2014 Safari at Wempe in FFM. I tried it on. The DW cut-out is matte black w/ some dark umber tones mixed in. Look at Chris's photo: the DW is clearly more black than the DW cut-out. It is an easy colour to apply. I am hesitating to do it, however, for my Safari 2014, although I have done this numerous times on other AP ROOs.
Guru, is that Jacob strap you ordered for 18mm deployant or is 20mm buckle?

 

[jamztio]

In te rest ing. So it looks like they have updated the color.
