this might sound rather stupid to some but that white date wheel was a big deterrent for me. this changes things.

I'm glad my Diver Bee came with a black wheel

Great review, and congrats on a gorgeous collection. Your watch boxes in the background are gorgeous, too. What kind are they?

it does, it's just under a layer of black. you get it to work you must go outside into natural light for a bit. then immerse yourself in darkness and you will come to find that you will see a little bit of green shining through. it's rather worthless though, doesn't last very long!

Thanks for posting - I've never had a chance to see the Ginza up close - beautiful piece!

The details on the dial are incredible - very nice!

Wonderful review and a wonderful watch. The last paragraph describing "the bug" is one of the most insightful and elegant I've ever read. Very impressive - especially for an SC alum (go Bruins!) ;)

I didnot know about this watch till I came across this review a few weeks back ... The best looking 42 mm ROO LE in my book !! ( a lot of premium in my eyes .. But would own it in a sec if I had the funds )
