Not the best picture, but this arrived at Govberg yesterday. I still think the silver dial will look better.

cruelly crushed expectations for me, better pics will not save it just a reminder of what had raised my hopes for an iconic new release, the teaser pic:

That's disguisting, why bother even taking a photo of that train wreck. |

Missed opportunity for sure, very disappointing. |

Take out the fourth grade geography class globe on the dial and it is a winner. Pretty early arrival for a Basel announcement, though. |

Yep, it's just as hideous in the wild as it is in the official photos (except for the teaser picture of course). Lose that horrendous Playschool globe and make the date a little more discrete (I think 4.30 dates need to hidden away nicely not with a whopping shiny box round it), and it would've been a great watch. Oh well, never mind eh? |

it really is a shame, as the B05 is quite an impressive Caliber and offers a very nice technical solution for a Worldtime chrono, this could have been a true dream watch - but Hank, the Cod ....... the white dial looks slightly less hideous, waiting to see some real world pictures. |

I still much prefer the "normal" Transocean - black dial steel version on mesh, with "hidden" date window and almost wearable 43 mm size. A date window with vertical digits (like on the Valjoux 7740 - based Navitimers) and a 40 mm case would make me smile even wider... And a nice touch is the unlimited see-through case back. Would prefer this - and the vertical date - on the Chronomat 41 too. Best, Robert |

I actually like it. It's a great looking elegant classy watch and love the huge 46mm size!  Here's some much better photos of this watch I found online. http://www.******.com/blog/2012/4/11/ ... ime-l.html

It's not as bad in the real life as the pictures. I didn't realise it is 46mm. That's just ridiculous; totally out of keeping with the style. |

46mm??!! Did not realize either. Out of my league. I'm glad I got my TOC LE. |
