Thin red line. Refers to the plastic sticker on the back. Years ago this became a pretty funny forum joke. Nice to see it again.

Yeah, but what else?

Same issue, same spot. It's so minor yet it makes me crazy, since the brushing on these bezels is so amazing.

I have the limited red as well as the black plastic if anyone wants. Never bought the Nano and don't really see myself doing it. Not a runner, walker or bus rider. I bought it because I liked the idea but practically for me it's not going to happen.

I just got mine this week and I have to say it feels great on the wrist, not too big at all. If you can pull off an AP ROO, you can wear this, and it's shockingly comfortable. Now to get an oem bracelet!

As I keep seeing QC pics here, I wonder if I'm the only one who got the warning. I've never posted QC pics so I assumed all pics were sent with this instruction rather than being personal.

I haven't seen this posted yet so I thought I would bring it up. Joshua states that members will nitpick and cause delay in your order and damage your relationship with him. When I asked him for better CG pics he wouldn't do it until I declined the watch. Interesting new direction in sales and service. BTW, Joshua is the only dealer I use and I am generally a fan.

OK, I am the only one that got a "threat" stating to not put QC pics on the forums??? I'm so shocked that I haven't seen this mentioned yet, I'm going to start a thread in General Discussions right not.

You should still be able to rotate the crown when the lever is closed.the guard simply prevents it from accidentally opening. That said, if the lever closes without difficulty then it likely isn't doing ant harm. Nice mod, it looks great!

Frig, I'm waiting on 3 watches and now you got me hot and bothered for 2 more APs. I want both of these exactly like yours!

BTW, the interchangeable thing is rarely the case.

I was wondering the same as to the quality. The 288 is the new rad chrono and it is pretty much 1:1 Scroll down and you will see it. Anyone have time for a comparison rep to gen?

I used to be 20 reps and 1 gen. Now I'm all gens with a couple of reps now, a 251 and an AP sec@12. As I earned more I started buying gens I could afford and reps of things I can't afford. TBH, I love the AP more than any watch I own. I banged it up a bit and I'm devastated.

Seiko Monster followed by gen Omega SMP.

Zigmeister is doing my gen ABO right now. Can't wait to see it.

I just accidentally cut my 22mm too short. Any 7 inchers or lower want a pretty new shaved OR for cheap? Shoot me a PM.

Thanks for coming, Buzz Killington.

I have the 251K and it is brushed CG and quick release.

Thank you!

Can you PM a link to the dealer please? Thanks

So I bent mine using a pipe wrench. Very true about pressure, I was easily able to bend mine in 2 very gentle squeezes, though maybe a bit too much. It's obvious the one side isn't square anymore and the bottom side of the crown now almost touches the CG on that side but the lever is about 40% better than it was. Now if I could just file the angled side to square nicely...

Also, it's pretty tough to find any Zuffa product online. They are very aggressive in keeping their property to themselves. Torrents are really your best bet.

I have it on my DVR and it's a pretty amazing performance by both. You must be new to Jose Aldo and want to see more of him? He is phenomenal, and we still haven't seen his BJJ yet. There are a ton of torrents for wec 48. I use Vuse, and I found plenty just now. Good luck and enjoy!

I don't know why it took me so long to get an AP. This came in the mail today and is my first rep purchase in 2 years and the only rep I currently own, though I have a 196 coming. I am totally in love with every aspect of this watch; the weight, the size, the fit and finish. I don't know the "tells" but from a quality and feel standpoint, it's looks and feels as good as any of my gens, if not better. I'm late to the AP party but I can seriously see myself buying a lot of these. Just a quick iphone pic.

Don't do it. Get something less controversial. BTW, I'm thinking of incorporating the numerals from a Panerai dial and hands into my sleeve, left wrist under where my watch sits. Set to 10:10.
