Paul, Please put me on the list for one of these!!!

From what I see, the coin edge on the bezel doesn't have as many teeth, and of course there's the movement inaccuracies. But overall, this looks like a great rep. They even caught the holes on the sides of the chrono pushers!

The T3 is (mis)measured in so many ways. AP only has two case sizes for the offshore chronos. The case of the SHAQ is the same as the T3 @ 47/48mm.

This actually looks pretty incredible, except for the fact that its in SS not TI. The cg screws are correct, chrono pushers look pretty good (not quite as rounded as gen), and the crystal looks domed as per gen as well.

I'm pretty sure the DW is white, but its further recessed which is why all of the DWs on gen ROOs look darker than our reps.

The rep subdials are definitely too dark. I had the chance to see one at an AP shop and the subdials are a very light grey, not the darker grey we see on the reps.

Incredible. Looks so high quality, especially the carbon fiber work.

the only flaw I see is that the date surround should be black not silver

Andrew says the Montoya is coming in a few months....

I want the JPM...supposedly its coming soon.

the volcano is the slightly more accurate rep, but theres no one who could call you out on the black themes and not also know that the volcano is a rep just as easily. Basically, get whichever one you like better. I would go with the black themes because its more versatile. As far as the straps, you can go with AP bands or strapluxe or oracle.

I have a nice black shark strap from APBands on my secs @12. It looks incredible, fit on my rep endlinks (although it was difficult to attach), and cost me about 80 bucks.

I have the black themes and unfortunately there is NO lume on the numerals, but the problem with the safari dial is that the color of the dial itself is wrong. It should be off white...almost beige, with white/silver subdials. The rep dial is a purer white for sure and the subdials are the same color as the surrounding dial. If you want accuracy, then the black themes dial with a relume is the way to go.

got mine on saturday...youd be surprised on this one...its even bigger than you think. My wrist is 7.5-8 and the watch head pretty much completely covers my wrist top to bottom.
