  1. @ Damon you can be sure that the Diver is larger the other poster is misinformed. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
  2. Agree they are great quality but they definitely do not wear the same. The available AP ROO chronos are 42mm and the Diver is 44mm AND flatter. It wears unmistakably larger for sure. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
  3. 1. Yes that Puretime $800 version comes with the specialty parts installed. 2. Not an issue on ALL APs, Just Royal Oak Offshore Chronographs. Most notably the V3 AP Diver lacks all these flaws because obviously it is not a Chronograph. 3. I don'texpect to have a 7750 look like a AP cal. 3126/3840 either. Hence why I prefer my APs with closed casebacks. 4. Yes the Gen is much much heavier than the rep. Anyone familiar with gold or precious metals can quickly make that distinction in the hand. Make sure not to take it off 5. Rest assured the subdials are off. With all the previous mentioned tells though not really a big deal. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
  4. ETA 2836-2 powered watch for $75? Very hard to believe. Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk 2
  5. 1. The fake carbon parts that come stock on the watch are atrocious. There is only one aftermarket option available and the parts are an extra $200+. 2. The difference in the Pushers and DW is a question of millimeters. The pushers are mounted flush on the rep when on the gen the crown position is much lower. The DW on the gen has a sunken in effect due to the unorthodox movement. This is why the gen needs a mag cyclops on the dial. The DW looks very deep inside the watch. The Rep is also thicker by 2-3mm. These are tells that most likely will never go away. 3. The color on the dial, specifically the subdials on the Grand Prix are visibly off a few shades. 4. The weight of the watch is far, far off from the gen. The difference would be about $2 worth of U.S. quarters in your hand. 5. A gen AP ROO hasn't used a LWO 283 in years, they are all in-house now. Movement looks far from the gen. 6. The Grand Prix series is listed as 42mm but wears a lot more like 44mm. If you care about having a 95%-99% close rep in terms of accuracy, look elsewhere. If you want a show stopper and don't care about the tells then highly consider it. The AP RG Rubberclad is also another stunning AP I can recommend for your consideration. It also has a closed caseback. Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk 2
  6. Do you have an Instagram or Tumblr? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
  7. Adriano Goldschmied, these are 10x more comfortable than my Diesels imo. Diesels and Guess premium are flashier but around 2x the price. AGs are the high quality stuff for around $175, can't be beat. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
  8. Even the suggested retail of $1500 is not an unheard of amount to pay for a bracelet, look up the list on a Panerai or a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bracelet ($3,000+). In my opinion the Breitling Pilot very well may be amongst the top 10 watch bracelets in the world. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
  9. I don't think thats true unless its from a specialty maker like TC. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
  10. With all due respect, what can you expect from a 75 year old Floridian that collects reps?! LOL Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk 2
  11. Coming to your favorite rep dealer soon, this might be out by this year if they can gauge the demand properly. "The One" is rumored to be repped first. Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk 2
  12. Z let me know when you'll be in South Florida again, I can arrange a mini gtg so we can show our collections. Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk 2
  13. It is PVD or something else, DLC is non reflective. Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk 2
  14. You would have to build a Franken AP with a Dubois-Depraz chrono module, builds have come out to around $5,000. Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk 2
  15. Can you post the specific epoxy necessary please? Also, I'd assume that a scalpel would be preferred over a knife? Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk 2
  16. They are both equally well made. The Panda I believe comes on the very good SS bracelet, the Rubberclad has the rubber bezel on a rubber strap. Your preference really. If I were in the market for a ROO I'd have the Rose Gold Rubberclad. Absolutely stunning watch in the flesh. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
  17. The 41mm Datograph is a closed caseback away from 'Super Rep' status. Just sayin'. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
  18. The V2 PloProf is the most accurate Omega. It is 1:1, It feels like a $10k dive watch. The fit and finish and materials are OUT OF HAND. Just the clasp will humble any rep hater and convert him into a rep owner. Men will want to be you and Women will want to be with you. Buy it. Buy it now.

  19. The Noob 360 is still pending release.I'd wait to see how it looks if I were you.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
  20. No. This is done by a North American modder, who ships them to China. This is not a Noob factory product. There are currently efforts under way to make an AP Grand Prix with a complete Forged Carbon caseset but that is some time off. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
  21. You probably need to send it out to a Trusted rep friendly watchsmith. There are a few methods to tighten bezels, but if you claim that your once unidirectional bezel is now bidirectional it sounds like its going to take more tools than just dental floss. Posting pictures of your own watch or maybe even a video would not hurt though. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
  22. This is Imaknockov's kit yeah? Can't wait to have that properly fitted full Carbon case. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
  23. LOL, get a clue bro. Go tell your gen buddies that we're picking up more girls with these fakes than they are with their safe queens. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
