I'll try to take macro pics of the movement next weekend
So you'll be able to see by yourself the amazing finish of the movement.
Regarding the strap, I always prefer rubber strap (sporty feel, comfortable and even more hygienic).
But I'll soon try the croco strap : pics to follow of course !
Thank you for your kinds words,
Emmanuel
My new watch has arrived ! (lots of pics...)
A watch rarely seen on this excellent forum : Roger Dubuis Excalibur Chrono. I've had last year the opportunity to visit the manufacture Roger Dubuis and I was deeply impressed by their achievements : a true and full manufacture, with an impressive range ...
WOW !!!
You should be really proud of this new, beautiful acquistion! Your photography is superb!
Very beautiful watch. and Great photos!
Roger Dubuis pieces always have a very nice presentation with nice accessories. Thanks for sharing, and wear it in the best of health. Jon (Z3)
I think it's important...
... to have a nice presentation with nice accessories : it's part of the pleasure to discover a new watch. Regarding this RD, everything was perfect ! Thank you for your comments, Emmanuel
Congrats Emmanuel on your new Roger Dubuis Excalibur Chrono!
It's not often we see one of these Dubuis here in our forums. Btw, how's the feedback from the chronograph pushers? Feels tight, loose, or just right? Cheers, Anthony This message has been edited by AnthonyTsai on 2009-05-22 16:15:10
Feedback from the chronograph pushers
How could I describe this ? The best way would be to post a video where you would see the big smile on my face everytime I activate the chronograph pushers. Honestly, it is incredibly smooth... it feels "just right" ! HAGWE Anthony, Emmanuel
K thanks. And enjoy the weekend as well
So if I see a gentleman walking around with a big smile on his face and playing around with the chronograph buttons on his watch, then I know it must be you Congrats once again! Cheers, Anthony
Perfect on your wirst, Emmanuel
An impressive packaging, an awesome movement, and perfect on your wrist! What to ask more? Congrats, my friend. Enjoy! Best, nicolas
Presence ...
Hi Emmanuel Thanks for sharing your new RD with us. All the RD watches have amazing presence and the Excalibur case particularly so. The dial, with the stylised floating Roman numerals could perhaps be described as neoclassical and is also very striking. ...

Beautiful watch !
Emmanuel, this is a watch I have never seen before but must say that it looks gorgeous.Your pictures are amazing and showing the unique look of this RD. May I ask the diameter of the watch, which btw looks just perfect on your wrist ? Regards, Gerard
Hello Gerard
Nice to see you here ! The diameter of the watch is 45 mm. My wrist is 18,5 cm which seems to be a very common size. The watch is slightly more massive than the Hublot but still very comfortable. Thanks for your comments ! Emmanuel
Exquisite! I've had...
...the opportunity to view the movements of RD and the fit and finish is world class. Congratulations on your new toy!!!
Thanks joeyza
Yes, the fit and finish is amazing. Every 20 minutes, I look at the movement... Emmanuel
Congrats Emmanuel !
On your new flamboyant RD Nice pictures too! Was the timing results in the box or the shop printed for you? From the result your watch is very accurate! Check it out. Kong
The timing results were in the box, done at the manufacture
I started my own test period. Until now, it seems indeed very accurate. Thank you Kong for your comments. Emmanuel
Congrats Emmanuel !
This RD is a superb watch with great finishings and an awesome caliber. My only concern is that I find the subdials too close to the center. And I regret the presence of the third lug in the middle of the strap. But at least you have an original watch, a ...
Thanks for your opinion foversta
I appreciate your answer since I am a long time reader of your posts. Don't worry for the subdials being too close to the center : you need to see the watch in person. I understand you don't like the triple lug... and for me, this triple lug is a positive...
I would really like
to examine this movement and those from your Lange side by side. Would be great if we meet up someday. Emmanuel
Yes, it would be interesting.
Because the chronograph caliber from Lange is very classic, a sort of "hommage" of the famous Longines calibers with the specific German style. The caliber from RD is very original, it was very nicely designed. Fr.Xavier
I'm sure I would learn a lot !
If you come to Brussels, please send me an e-mail... If I go to ... well, France I suppose, I'll write to you. Emmanuel
I GUESS THAT WHAT MAKES IT LOOK SO NICE ON THAT PICTURE...
is the fact that you are driving an Audi... Regards, Yves
Congratulations on Your New RD....Wonderful Post and Great Pics
Thanks for sharing and wear your new watch in the best of health.
something odd
Thanks Emmanuel, This looks like a stunning watch and the movement is simply gorgeous. Thanks for sharing the pictures with us! I find it very odd that the timing results that come with the watch have the incorrect lift angle listed and therefor incorrect...
something odd
Thank you very much for your answer and your advice : I will copy the timing results so I can keep them ! Regarding your analysis of the timing results, I'm unable to answer : I must confess that it's far beyond my technical knowledge. However, as it dese...
