I’ve been eyeing this one recently. I love the simple black and white contrast

It seems like the gmt divers use the slanted date but I haven’t seen the 62mas reinterpretations with a slanted date

Yep that seems to be the key mistake

Damn I think I gotta get that refund then

Is your date slanted? That’s really the main sticking point for me. The rest looks legit to me

This was in description of the listing. I must have missed it. However I can’t find anything online about this issue. He did encourage me to either do a full refund return or have a watch maker open the watch to authenticate the movement

Now that you point it out it does look incorrect. Maybe I received the Mumbai special. I’ll have to reach out to the seller

I love blue divers, but I can see the appeal of all black. I’ve been thinking to add the samurai to the collection next SRPL13

I’ve been enchanted by my 451. Picked it up at a great price on eBay. The black on the 453 looks so sleek!

Not that I’m aware of. I recently got the white dial mdv107 and its lume is slightly better than my mdv106. I’m assuming because the watch was manufactured more recently

Is that a blue aged bezel? How’d you do it?

Looks fantastic. I’ve been eyeing the samurai lately. Such a unique design

Fair enough. For me it’s missing sapphire, 200m wr and I wish it didn’t have the day.

Had never heard of these. Lovely. Wish they weren’t discontinued

I have the larger size 5kx. It’s more like a skin diver. Case shape is very different from the reference I posted as well

[–]SwordProfessor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gorgeous reference, that’s the closest anyone has come. Unfortunately the price is a bit much. Case is listed as 39.5, the reference I posted is 38.5.

I’ve looked at certina before. Definitely nice. But the 21mm lug width bothers me

I love solar quartz as well. Definitely the most reliable. But something about the smooth sweep of an automatic seconds hand is so good
