  1. Datewheel on the black dial should be green numbers. The green dial should have gold writing and seems to be the more accurate of the two.

    yes the green one is more accurate I believe. I have that one.

    Another reason is that the green one have the black date, which is correct. The black one has a black date, while its supposed to be green

  2. All of the watches I have received from him are fine (got about 10 maybe). except the top gun 'star' was smudged on this one.

    But Im not gonna send it back to him. I did let him know though.

    It is your choice if you do not want to deal with him, I fully understand that you are dissapointed. I am sure there are others that might be able to provide the QC that you need.

    For me personally, I know these are reps and things like that happens. Defects can be found on gens too, although not as often..

    the important thing for me is how the dealer takes care of me AFTER the sales. Problems can occur..but how we solve it is more important IMHO.

    I hope you can find a working top gun soon. good luck.

  3. I think they are quartz models if you ask me, but sec's @ 12 models should be out soon, I think this is just a tease!!!!!

    Yes..I kinda suspect that is quartz...Was hoping that he messed up the picture and that is the RB we want...

  4. Can't blame the marketting department for sure. If the demand is there, why not make it?

    I just think that if they have a special edition of everything they will dilute the uniqueness of owning a special edition AP.

    On luxury bazaar alone, there are 46 variations of AP ROO limited editions, If I am not mistaken, And IMO that is too much.

    But since we are talking reps...I say that is a good thing...because there are so many variations, a bit of flaw here and there will make it less noticeable, because you will almost never meet a person that own the model, and even if you do, they probably will not be familiar with the other 45 models (unless an AP manager) :D

  5. thanks for the heads up Dani..

    very interesting news....

    just looked at his site...he is making a Sachin Tendulkar and Rhone-Fusterie . interesting...

    Most importantly, the RB2 is out folks..the one all we've been waiting for.

    altough I don't know WTF AP is thinking making limited editions for absolutely everything...idiots...they just want to milk as much money as they can..

  6. I mean if someone told me it is real then I am not gonna go out of my way looking for flaws. I just believe them, assume its real and let them be.

    even if I saw a bad rep and the person say its real. I just keep my mouth shut. If it makes them happy lying to people, then they should do whatever makes them happy.

  7. The RG AP ROO only comes with the rubber bezel, apart from the limited editions. Gen msrp are close to $40k.

    I have not seen the rep yet, but i have the rubberclad SS and the rubber bezel seems fine to me.

    I also have the UN MMD RG. fantastic watch too. apart from minor things(to me) like the date cyclops, rotors and the screw.

    look here if you are interested:

    great review by robbie, http://www.rwg.cc/members/Ulysse-Nardin-Ma...hro-t91917.html

    HBB- I was looking at it but it was too expensive compared to the others and I chose the AP. the gen followed (copied) AP ROO's style, if I am not mistaken. I am interested in the all back though.

    May I suggest you look into the concord C1? I have that one too. excellent rep.

  8. Hey Dude!

    What are your thoughts on the navy now that u had it for awhile? Can u post some pics?

    Thanks.

    Hike

    sure..im kinda bad at taking pics though. But I don't mind trying for you. I love your holiday pics.

    Can you PM me your email address, I don't want to hijack this thread.

    or can I send pics thru PM?

    I had the white one with the blue sub dial, bought it at the same time as the volcano. had the rubberclad too..oh and the gold on is on the way...lol..

    I think the navy looked great

  9. I'm happy with the color of the gold on my watch- but I don't have a gen to compare it to.

    I went the cheap route because Andrew and Josh have the same watch with the purported ETA, but who can be certain these days. So far the asian 21j has be right on. Haven't opened up the case back yet to look at the movement. My preference for asian 21j's is the one from PTS Resources with the WO symbol under the balance wheel- same one that Ofrei and Cousins sell.

    This sight is Andrew's economy site- run by a guy named Andy. Good service and they take credit cards which is easy. The watch is fairly accurate, IMO. It has the yellow datewheel, and the gens that I've looked at recently had the white datewheel. Other than that, everything else looks good to me.

    thanks, I bought the eta clone

  10. no, not yet. it is on the way here. hopefully will be here by the end of the week.

    I liked the black dial, but I've been told that it is not that accurate (small thing though). so I bought the green dial (ceramic), and also I want something unique so green is fine.

    the date is supposed to be green on the black dial, while on the rep, the date is black. that is all I think.
