Before we see any of these new models from the rep factory....we face the Xmas-shopping problem again. Don´t hold your breath too long..... We need to see 2010 novelties here first......after CNY of course. Theo

I love AP´s since 1992.....and there was no rep ahead in those days. I have gen watches and I have rep watches.....and I won´t pass my rep´s as gen´s...so I don´t care if someone might "spot" it....I even had people looking at my wrist wearing a gen Breitling or gen Panerai and they said "ah, nice fake, where you got it?". So anyway, it´s all on you and how you feel about a rep....would you like to be a "chain-blinger" or a "watch-lover"? ....and just a word on the chrono-pusher-crown-line.....the rep sec@12 are not on one line, the pusher are a tiny bit higher Cheers mate, get a nice ROO and enjoy it, Theo

Mmh, the standard chrono is quite nice, not too many new designs. But the other 2 pieces are not my cup of tea....especially the Arnold LE is aweful and looks like a cheap "Carrera" watch due to the new lug-ends. Hope to see the latest creations of our factories before CNY. Cheers Theo

Wait....the version we are all looking for will be released early next year...not that far away Theo

I know nothing...really nothing Theo

Nice Tourby....I was eyeing on it as well....but I was resisting Anyway, wear it well, looks way cool. Theo

Sorry mate....no dealer will get you a Titanium case-set....I asked nearly all dealers and got the same answer "sorry, factory no sale parts!" But what you can do is buy the chronopassion and just swap cases with the watch you wish....result is a Titanium ROO you want and a fantasy-ROO that looks nice. Cheers Theo

The MH ROO is a very unique and special edition.....the watch is not really common taste and the factories decide for themselves what is to be fabricated. I asked for this model and future plans; answer was: "Nothing planned yet!" This means all and nothing, I had too many incounters of the "Not-planned-story" with suddenly upcoming ROO´s. All I know that the Mounthawk Highway will not be one of the next 4 models the factory will release Theo

You can keep it Theo

Yeah thats right......something unstable in the rep-world....schedules! Lets wait and see, I will get the new DIVER as soon as it is available, it must be good, it must be like the one shown on the first pic....otherwise I would be very angry My "guy in china" did not mention any date...cause he does not know himself....so when its available he will send it over, I do a review, you will be happy Cheers all, Theo

This is the rep I was looking for.....good to see a payback of hard work, long research and attention to detail. Theo

Yeah, exactly my state of information....the version I was looking for will be released early next year.... Theo

Mmmmh, Josh removed it from his page. It looks like a China-edition, a first attempt, a prototype-rep.....all fláws are mentioned before and here is my additional input (might be helpful for Josh and the factory): - the printing "Audemars Piguet" and "300m/1000ft", "AUTOMATIC" should be printed on a seperate plate and those are glued to the dial! - the lume filling of the stick markers is way too thin ...well and the other flaws..... BUT I would get one piece as soon as they will re-do the datewheel/datewindow....for all the other flaws I do not care too much. At least the new rubber strap and the caseback looks like a match (No. 0009 looks a bit too near to lucky number ! Cheers all., Theo

Huh?....now c´mon....this sale comes from Belgium and you are supposed to pay in AU dollars???? This stinks. Theo

Mmmh, nice start....but failed. If this case had been finished correctly we would have seen a stunning piece. Theo

WOW... great looking piece, unfortunately those JLC are far too small for my liking. Can you tell us about the size and the dial color? Theo

The factories don´t know about time....later this year can mean tomorrow.....early next year can mean April...who knows! I am waiting as well....also for some other reps to be due end of 2010. Theo P.S.: No I cannot tell you what models!

.....jahhh and the KP Tourby is also too big for you mate. Theo will take it next year from you

Hey M., thanks for showing the pics....I can only second Warren´s words....the RG RC has to be rejected. For the KP Tourbillon.....I love it and this time you really need to keep me in mind....if you decide to let it go, I´ll take it. Cheers mate Theo

I am unpatiently waiting!!!! Theo

The same size! Theo

OhOh.....be quick and post a pic! As our minds think alike.....I know I will see a good piece. Theo

YES, same size can be fitted...allthough the DIVER straps runs out in 22mm (wider tapered). Theo

Ugh....that baby is used and abused. I would be very scared with a pricy watch like that and the fact it looks like an old G-Shock when worn daily for some months. Strongly believe that the factories can fake the look of forged carbon with titanium, PVD and chemicals.....hope they don´t just use plastic! Theo
