There's nothing like a barely perceptible dial flaw to yield an opportunity to launch into a volley of personal attacks!

Who has time for this?

Just got mine from Andrew.

I am speechless.

Best rep ever?

They are very cool, and they must have a ton of money to promote themselves with. They give/lend a lot of watches out to watch blogs, so they are growing fast from all of the coverage they are getting.

hmm...just had a quick look on the first pics posted by paul of this thread -

seems that mbk/producers did a shift from the colors on white model...

Are you able to post a close-up from the dial??

The "jumbo" or lets say 39mm model with the most silver-like looking color

is the new 15300ST from AP.

However from pauls pictures the white or silver dial does

also have a certain attraction

But yes if you are talking about accuracy -

the older mbks where more white or off-white toned rather

than reflecting silver.

Here are a few quick shots of my "White" dialed AP Jumbo.

The white dial I ordered is definitely SILVER.

Does AP even make a Silver dial Jumbo?

Also, mine is running 2 minutes fast a day. How hard is it to regulate this?

mine is stuck in customs in Los Angeles for 5 days now.

I think we are all deluding ourselves if we think that corporate agents from Rolex, LVMH, Richemont, Swatch Group and the rest are not well aware of exactly what our trusted "collectors" are up to. They would stop them if they could.

I would imagine that they periodically buy from them anonymously to gauge the quality.

In fact, I would not be surprised if they have even infiltrated this forum and the others.

The idea of someone strolling into an AD with a rep, and having it's repercussions blow the lid off our hobby is a little far fetched.

It looks great, Paul!

Thanks for your hard work. Now I'll have to get used to a watch without a second hand!

-Andy

So, in the end, what model Royal Oak is this trying to be closest to?

15002ST?

Any updates on the projects, Paul?

-Andy

This is very disappointing. Not really worth buying, I would say.

Moreover, the project did start since Monday as I did send deposit to him already.

Cheers,

Paul

Thanks, Paul!

Lets get this party started!

-Andy

Just got mine- U2 ETA.

It rocks, but just to be clear: the lume totally sucks.

Please don't expect anything more than standard rep lume, and you will be happy!

OK- I'm in- White dial, please.

What about Sead, aka Super Mirrors on RepGeek?

Anyone get a PAM from him?

How do they rate?

Here's a good reference for Royal Oaks:

Although I rarely post, I've been around for awhile, and I've picked up dozens of watches from almost every significant dealer.

On this topic, I have to say, without a doubt:

These ARE the Good Old Days!

-Andy

I had an Ice Bang done with his AR service. It's indeed single, doesn't look as good as double AR but still ok, for the price.

I actually decided to splurge for his "heavy" SS./ ceramic model.

Good AR makes all the difference. Now for the hard part- The WAITING!

Just wait till the Bracelets arrive.....

Has anyone used Angus' add-on AR service? Is it Double AR? If so, how is the quality?

oops- I see it's SINGLE AR- anyway, has anyone has anyone seen this in person?

I own 5 HBB reps, and I completely agree with detahoe's suggestion of dealer, as well as the exact two models he points out. It is generally accepted that Angus is the best dealer for an HBB.

The two models linked both have the HIGH BEAT 7750 (don't even THINK about getting an HBB with the low beat 7750 if you expect it to tell time), both have ceramic bezels, and you can get AR added for another 20 bucks (worth every penny).

I would also consider Hont as a dealer. He can get just about anything out there for the best price, but I'm not sure if he can add single AR to a Lite HBB for 20 bucks like Angus can.

......

Has anyone used Angus' add-on AR service? Is it Double AR? If so, how is the quality?

Can I know, too?

I am new and looking around having bought several reps one of which is a Panerai. Now I want to have one on a metal and one on leather. I have the steel bracelet half shiny and half brushed next I want to buy a titanium one and put it on leather. Anyway the numbering system of these (111h, 164,024, 253) are driving me a little crazy. Without wasting anyone's time is there a simple chart that has size, movement, material, color etc. on it? Thanks in advance.

There is also this, which is more visual.

It doesn't have all of them, though
