What is best a custom Rolex or a Rolex that is stuck in custom?

Buy a professional camera and you´re a professional
photographer, buy a flute and you own a flute.

After having had my Maroon Endeavour for a year, I first thought that the Venturer case was a bit thin when I got used to the
stronger Endeavour case. But this is not the case but the Venturer case grows more and more and is very harmonious with the white
dial which gives an impression of being much larger. The blue hands really get a sober impression on the white dial. So I'm very happy
with both of my Moser's. I hope you get yours soon and that you will be happy with it.

Thanks Jocke.

I have also read / heard comments on the Venturers reflective issues due to the nature of the dome shaped crystal....?

I didn't really notice this when I tried it on in my nearest stockist but would appreciate your comments having owned one for a while now.


Thanks,
Jon

Yes there will be some reflections from the domed crystal but IMO it's not a problem at the white dial version with the blue hands.
I guess it's another story with WG/PT hands that will be a pain to read in some angles.

Thanks Jocke,

I didn't think it looked too bad in the jewellers but thought I would ask! :)

Mine is apparently due to deliver on Wednesday next week so will post some pics up once received.

I finally took delivery of mine yesterday. I have posted up a separate thread within this section but thought I would still reply to you in this thread.

I haven't worn it for long but wow...what a truly exceptional timepiece this is. I absolutely love it and its simplicity.

My SubC has got some serious competition with regards to wrist time! ;)
