I'm still doing my due diligence, but I'm pretty close to pulling the trigger on this:

Has anyone purchased one, or one similar? I've had fantastic service from Josh, and I want to continue my business with him. I'm hoping to get some more experienced watch afficienados opinions before spending a grand on a rep. Thanks.

After much debate, going back and forth, and quite possibly driving Josh insane, I decided on the following:

I wanted something formal that I could wear with a black suit. I previously bought a Flying Bentley with a brown strap and white face, and it is awesome, but doesn't really go with a black suit and white dress shirt. I'll post pics as soon as it gets here! Thanks.
Edit: PS. Josh was extremely responsive and patient throughout the entire ordering process. He is the only one that gets my business!
You sold me and getting one of these from Josh. I found a gen flying B strap on ebay for $545 w/ free shipping. Does the gen band fit this rep flying B exactly? or do I need to get another size? thanks for the great review!!!!
Did some searching on 'the bay' and found this:

I just typed in "Audemars Piguet band". I am also interested in purchasing a gen strap for my Audemars Piguet . I'm not sure the thickness that I need, so I'm going to wait until my watch actually arrives. Hope this helps.
Very true. I'll just add it to my night-time routine, along with the protein shake, lol. I will be doing a review the day I get the watch. I looked for hours and hours through Josh's site, and this is one of the classiest watches that I came across. I think my follow-up purchase is going to be this one: http://www.jpc8118.com/vc10033-malte-tourb...lon-p-2746.html
Does everyone think it's worth the cash? Thanks again for the interest!
THANKS! A video is forthecoming! Anyone know about how long it takes to arrive to the states (east coast) after Josh ships it? I'll have a video, pics, and a full review of the quality. I have a gen rolex and a gen breitling, but it's time to start branching out. Obviously, I could never afford a gen AP tourbillon, so I'm hoping this one is of above average rep-quality. Thanks again, look forward to the review!!!!
So I finally broke down after weeks and weeks of research. My wife was sick of hearing about watch movements and varying qualities of rep's. I decided on an AP10023, with the true tourbillon movement for $598, from Josh. http://www.jpc8118.com/ap10023-jules-audem...ite-p-1018.html
I am so excited and can't wait to do a full review on my first rep. I was wondering if anyone has purchased this model, or any other model with the tourbillon movement. I ordered an automatic watch winder from ebay so I can keep the watch stored properly when it's not on my wrist. Hopefully, I made the correct decision on my first rep watch. Looking forward to hearing experienced users feedback. Thanks.
