WOW...cool piece....wear the watch inside-out as the caseback engraving is so nice Theo

In this price range you will not see the best reps from AP.....but why not the one you showed. Allthough I would go a bit "less complicated"....I don´t like the fake-gold, fake-chrono, fake-tourbillon watches. Have a look at my sales post here....this AP Royal Oak could be a good starter for ya: My AP RO automatic Cheers mate, Theo

We saw the release of the 005 recently...should not take to long that the zero will pop up (soem weeks I guess). Theo

....problem here is the conversion kit. The endlinks you will get from APBAnds straps are very expensive and they will not fit the rep without modifications. The endlinks you will get from the cheaper RO rep versions might not fit as well, at least you will not loose 400$ as those thingies only cost below 100$ with strap and deployant and the endlinks....maybe the dealers will only sell a complete watch (those 160$ cheapos)...worth a try. Theo

....I know that....but if something major is wrong with the watch (as it seems to be) I would give the dealer the chance to exchange it. Theo

....details, details, details... Theo

meanwhile....

So have it serviced. Theo

Hi there, I have all my AP´s done by "Domi" in Germany....look out for his posts here on the forum. A full service of the movement is around 140 EURO (120GBP, 190USD). Other option is .... sell your dead watch to me an as I am allways on the hunt for ROO´s to use in projects...let me know what you have, cheers Theo

OK....I see the date is wrongly placed. Theo

...and is it any good? I am a complete numb when it comes to Breitling. Theo

I don´t wanna use their pics.....but its on Joshs and Andrews website. Theo

Hi guys, just came accross a new NAVITIMER and COSMONAUTE.....and I am really tempted. What do you guys think about? Does it have a reall 24 hour working 7750? The last time I had a NAVITIMER is 20 years ago (gen of course). Let me know, Theo

The SURVIVOR is a stunning watch....soooo close to gen and much more comfartable to wear than it appears to be. I love my SURVIVORS and wear one on a genuine croc and the other one on the rubber. Cheers Theo

you won´t be able to exchange the datewheel unless you get - correct font - white on black Theo P.S.: maybe the upcoming, long-awaited DIVER 1:1 edition will cure your needs....but better buy the complete rep

Sorry no comparison shot at hand, but I second the members above: the RO wears bigger than the 39mm diameter it meassures. Will check tonight and do a comp-shot for you....what watch would you like to see in comparison? - PAM - Super Avenger - Avenger - Hublot King Power - AP ROO - AP T3 ...... You name it. Theo

WOW...looks awesome W. Enjoy the fuits of yout labor. Cheers mate Theo

Damn....checked again...thought Yannou had a special info to share.....WRONG! Happy Easter to you all... Theo

Arrgh, each day with a new post here makes me read/open this thread again.... I am no longer interested in a 1:1 DIVER Theo

I would not be very surprised when the rep-factory would say "Yes" and through this thingy on the market. I have seen too many ugly reps before. Theo

The pic shows the ROO rosegold rubberclad. It is available with all our dealers here....opt for the updated version (dial color). Theo BTW: the Don Ramon .... has a new and updated caseback now, so this would be nice to have as well.

Is this done from rep-factory to go with some HBB or is this your special strap done by your strapmaker???? Just curious and I am also looking forward to see/get your croc-grain for HBB. cheers Theo

So you ordered the gen version? I like the ProDiver....chunky and fat....best divers watch beside the PloProf me thinks. Theo

So today I got the message from my dealer! They sent me a wrong track No. and they never checked this number, I asked them 4 times to doublecheck that number they gave me, they always replied "just be patient some more days!" Today I got the correct track No. for the shipment from my dealer....6 weeks later!!! In the meantime the watch sits at the postal office for 10 days and was then returned to sender....I had no chance to check, the watch was there, just some hundred meters away....arrrgh, bloody fault they made, why did they not doublecheck. Anyway, now the watch was sent back to China 6 days ago....and what do I get? Another month of waiting as the dealer wants to receive the watch back first and have it reshipped then. And I was among the first that ordered/paid for this watch. I am really angry now. But there is noone really to blame. Theo

A real beauty she is.... My watch should have been sent registered air.....for a good reason. Watches sent by EMS will always be checked by customs. I agreed to wait a week longer before we try again. Theo P.S.: I had enough time to make my mind up on the strap to use, I assume that the beauty of the case, finish, color requires a simple strap....so I will go with rubber....or I will order a dark-grey calf leather strap from APBands.
