HI there, I posted in the AP area first but think I may get more answers here... I'm looking for a replacement crown for a AP ROO Rose Gold Wempe. Anybody got any ideas where I could possibly source one? Aftermarket or rep preferably. Oh, also...if there are any experts here that know what size I need, that would be brilliant as well. If I can use a generic aftermarket crown, that would be cool too.! Cheers in advance and have a fab and groovy day!

Hello everyone and thanks for having me in the forum, i have been reading into rep watches in this and other forums for a month now, and think that now im educated enough on the topic to ask proper questions. so far i have a gen rolex sub, but want a watch not everyone has. my three favorites are 1. the royal oak cronograph 2. royal oak offshore chronograph RG 3. the royal oak offshore black theme. As i want the best rep possible, pruetime has now the 2014 jf black themes. its superlumed and AR coated so i wont have to mod that. however i would rather want the offshore chronograph RG since its less similar to my submariner. i read that some of the gold plating may fade and the rubber might peel. i prefer the clasp on the 2014 black themes to the deployant clasp on the RG model though. the watch is not going to be my daily beater, that place takes my submariner, but i want something for going out to dinner etc and something that will last for a couple of years. how does the movement of the two watches compare? is the 2014 jf more reliable (both A7750 right?) what would you chose in my position. thanks alot in advance. ps i need it in a 42mm since i got 6,7" wrists...

Welp, since there's some unknown force preventing me from gathering enough funds to start my first franken project, I decided to put it on hold. In the meantime I've been looking into the "platinum" version of the 44mm ROO. I like the panda 44mm, but the blue interests me. Does anyone out there own one? If so, flood pics here please

I saw this on PT and just about fell out of my chair! I know for sure that date font needs to change, but other than that, I really dig it! What do you guys think? Will any of you be picking one up?

Alright guys I finally took some proper shots of my HBB and ROO so here ya go! First let me give you my opinion of these pieces first now that I've spent some quality time fiddling with/wearing them. The AP: Easily my favorite visually and functionally of the two. The forged carbon material is amazing to behold in person. Nice and lightweight, very solid fit and finish on everything, and the lume on this is ridiculous! (as pictured) The hands are very legible which makes it simple to tell time during the day or in a pitch black room. Only issue I'm having with it is the strap is too big for me, so while I wait to come up with some XS straps, I punched an extra hole in my existing strap and that works for now. I do eventually need a replacement though because I think I made it a bit too tight, so if you have a spare XS strap for a 44mm ROO (if such a thing exists) let me know! Final Verdict: 10/10 even though I need a smaller strap! The Hublot: Absolutely love this watch! Not too much to report here. Great look, great fit, the Donerix strap Legend fitted to this is gorgeous, albeit not my cup of tea for everyday wear. I ordered some tyre rubber straps online today along with the H screwdriver so I can swap those out as soon as they get here. I can definitely see putting them back in though for a more formal event. Having tried on a genuine, I'm happy to report that this watch is virtually identical in look and feel! The lume is also very good, but not as bright as the AP, it's also a little harder to precisely tell the time on this watch since the hands are so wide. Also I'm not sure how to wind it. The crown feels like I'm winding it when it's pushed all the way in, but I'm unsure if that's what it is. Anyone out there know? Other than that, I have no complaints whatsoever! Final Verdict: 10/10 Both of these pieces are incredible! They both have an unparalleled wrist presence, especially on a small wrist like mine. I haven't had people approach me yet, but I've definitely seen people look from a distance, and they seem pretty impressed haha. They're also very nicely weighted and feel very similar to, if not identical to their genuine counterparts...and they keep great time! I love fiddling with the chrono too! Not sure why, it's just fun Overall I love these watches, Legend is awesome to work with as well. The guy is a wealth of information and knowledge about our fun hobby and I see him as a great mentor and friend to me. Bottom line, I'm totally broke now but couldn't be happier!

Can somebody point me in the direction of their favorite ROO? It's time to buy one so I just wanna make sure I make the right decision the first time. I want to do as little modding as possible because I'm lazy and impatient. I'm still willing to do it if I have to though. So I want it to look as close to an original as possible right out of the box. This is my favorite that I've dug up so far, but I don't care for the rubber bezel. Looks like a dust and lint magnet to me. http://www.intime.co/product.php?id_product=944

Hi Guys, I have a quite interesting question- Is it normal that there is an extensive gap between the dial and the centre of the hour and minute indicators? I know that there has to be SOME gap, but this looks huge! Check it out, maybe kindly check out your own AP ROOs (that are not franken), let me know if this is normal: Thanks for your help!!

Hello AP'ers, Sorry for the second post, my original one doesnt show the link I posted... :/ Could you guys tell me if this is a V5? Sales told me that they received the watch from the factory a month ago, and that the timing indicates that it is a V5. Ive read around that the V5 already has rounded pushers... but in this case it doesn't. Im not sure whether its different from TD to TD. You guys are the experts! Thanks for the help!

So now you got me, guys, I ordered a 44mm like the one seen at the comparison http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/168558-44mm-ap-roo-ss-rep-vs-gen-comparison/. However, I am not a rubber strap guy nor do I like tang buckles, I do prefer nice leather straps and deployants. So, looking e.g. at croc straps like those http://bit.ly/1payRGi I think the colors could make a good fit. However, given the size of the watch I would not use the standard ROO 42mm deployant, that would most probably be too tiny. So what would you suggest - or am I the only one thinking about a strap change? Any and all ideas are very well appreciated.

A good friend of mine owns several watches of the abovementioned series like this one http://bit.ly/NtBzZg and is facing the problem that the white rubber straps tend to get miscoloured, most likely due to having contact with her Jeans and unfortunately she did not happen to clean them up successfully, so this leads to two questions: 1. Can anyone suggest a really good cleaner for those straps? 2. Besides the usual strapmakers, is there a source for rep leather straps for Ladies AP RO watches? Thanks mates, any and all advice is well appreciated. -
Hello everybody! I am about to buy my first rep but I got this one problem. My wrist is pretty tiny (17cm / approx. 6,7-8inches) and I am affraid that watch such as 44mm ROO would look really silly when sitting on my wrist. You with 44mm ROO's or 42mm Divers and wrist close to mine, could you please post a wrist shot and help me? Thank you!

Can someone with a rubberclad do me a favour ?
specialvat posted a topic in The Audemars Piguet Area
I need a couple of strap measurements for the ROO rubberclad sec's @12, mainly strap width where buckle attaches on the deployment type strap as I dont fancy the deployment and also strap width on tightest hole to see if its same width all way up. Thanks guys -
Hi Guys, First time poster. I am looking to get a Genuine ROO. Leaning towards the Rubberclad, but also considering this Themes (black dial, steel bezel) A few questions for you guys. Where do you think the best place to buy new or used online. I want to ensure that I am getting a genuine product. And I know its a matter of opinion, but what are your thoughts on the rubber bezel vs. the steel bezel. I love the rubber right now -- but worry its just trendy while the steel might be more timeless. Thanks for the advice!
