  6. Full Gold Submariner

    in The Rolex Area

    Posted

    Hello Folks

    Does anybody know if any of our dealers are still carrying stocks of the Noobfactory Sub with wrapped links?

    Am looking for a gold sub but am worried about the quality of the plating, even on the so called "thick plated 5 mls" models.

    Thanks

    Andy

    Very nice combo, the upgraded dial is awesome, the strap gives it even more appearance.

    If you are going for the NAVY, think twice about that. The NAVY is a nice rep but it has a white dial that is far away from the gen white color.

    I had the rep and compared it to the gen...was not allowed to take compare pics (for a good reason) but I can assure you that the gen NAVY dial color is pure and bright white, whereas the rep is just plain white.....

    Cheers mate,

    Theo

    Hi Theo

    Yes, I'm aware of the dial colour issue, and I really wish that the factory would sort this out - but I think that's unlikely. In any event, I don't think I'm going to be in too many situations where anybody would have the opportunity of doing a side by side comparison of the rep to the gen. I have NEVER seen any sort of AP ROO in the flesh, so I think I would be happy to run the risk! The Navy - even with an off colour dial - is a stunning design. And, as I said, now that Aaron is confident of providing the perfect strap to match it I think it will look even better!

    I have the same deployment than Andy and it's very very very comfortable. Sander, I don't understand why you're said the deployment is terrible.

    I have to agree with Fitipaldi - this deployant is extremely comfortable. I'm not particularly bothered that it doesn't have an AP logo on it, as a lot of gen owners swap the AP deployant anyway.

    (I was also considering a tang buckle - again, a lot of gen owners go down this road).

    Thank you!:thumbsupsmileyanim: Now that is sweet! I might get that again! I used to have the V1 with the white dial, but this is really nice! Congrats!

    BTW: Could you PM me your source please, if you don't wanna make it public?

    Hike,

    It came from MR, as he was the first dealer to advise me that stocks were available again. A well conducted and communicated transaction.

    Am pretty certain that it is available now from any of the approved dealers.

    Here are some pics. I can't even begin to tell you how delighted I am with this combo - it's going to break my heart to send it away to Francisco and have to wait for its' return!

    Time to start saving again - the Navy Themes is next on my list - and Aaron assures me that he can now provide the perfect blue hornback strap to go with it!

    You'll notice that I have replaced the AP Rep Deployant with a much more comfortable aftermarket version:

    I got my new AP ROO Safari yesterday - and it's fantastic!

    It's going straight onto my HK Tan Hornback Strap which has been waiting patiently for its' arrival in my watch box - as soon as I have it fitted I will take some photos and post them here.

    The watch will be heading off to Francisco very soon for a seconds @ 12 mod and a full service.

    One question - the A7750 movement sems very "rattley" or noisy. At certain times it feels like I am wearing a gyroscope on my wrist. Is this normal? Will it be less like a bag of spanners after a proper service?

  18. New Patek Philippe Nautilus Jumbo - Blue Dial

    in Other Brands Area

    As this is the only available steel version of the 5711 I opted for bracelet.

    But anyway, you can get an additional leather strap for this baby for just some bucks more.

    Thats what I did to have all possible options (but I ordered the grey version....platinum and strap only as gen!)

    Cheers,

    Theo

    I've ordered both the bracelet and the strap...! Everything is on its way - can't wait for delivery day.

    :clapping::clapping:...obviously my answer didn't refer to the 4$...

    i'm interested in silver or volcano; i said the price range from kings for all ROO is around 485$, and on "pc" the silver is the only one at that price; others ROO are at 568$, so i thought there was a difference.

    I don't know is name is or is not Josh, i know i bought another watch from him and it arrived...so, if i decide to buy the silver, i'll bought from him.

    Thanks

    You would either be very stupid or very crazy to buy from somebody who is blatantly ripping off another dealers site.

    You've been a member on here for some time - do your homework.

    Hi,

    do you think is there any quality difference between this:

    http://perfect2clones.com/aap10036-royal-oak-chronograph-ssss-whtblk-a7750-sec12-p-5233.html

    and this:

    http://www.kingshowbox.com/goods-4024.html

    because the Ap sec@12 collection in the first is more expensive than the second except this model.

    Thanks

    Yes, I think there will be a BIG difference in quality - because the "PerfectClones" site you have in your link is a SCAM SITE. Look at the address - it isn't Josh's.
