  1. The rep AP ROO uses a modified version of the movement termed the A7750 sec@12, which utilises 3 transfer gear to shift the running seconds to the 12 o'clock position.

    All versions of the AP ROO reps use this movement, though some hand designs vary (e.g. survivor, RB2, the 44mms, GPs etc)

     

    So yes, canon pinion height is the same in all versions of the Chronopassion, or more accurately put, in all versions of the 42mm ROOs at least.

     

    The differences in the various versions of the CP (v1-5?) are subtle in my opinion. But movement wise they would be almost identical though the ones from late 2012 use a slightly improved sec@12 movement. 

  2. Probably not, but figured I'd ask anyway.

    Lets be realistic. 

     

    I noticed you asking about accurate Richard Mille reps, customized RG cases and now the AP RO Concept.

    These are all watches costing from $100k -$300k, and for good reason too. The intricacy and complexities of the movement, and the design work that went into customizing a very limited number of pieces would probably justify the asking price.

     

    Majority of the decent reps today are replicas of genuine watches which cost way less than $50,000, and it has gotten the rep makers years to get their manufacturing technology to produce a workable, wearable, but still imperfect imitation of the genuine watches of that price level. 

     

    Therefore, if you are going to continue asking questions like the ones you have asked, you are apt to get disappointed with the answers. So before you ask, decent reps of Urwerk, Hublot LaFerrari, RM tourbillons and other astronomically priced watches do not yet exist. They may someday in the future, and when they do, you would find yourself reading about them rather than asking about them, if you care to stick around, and understand the current progress of the rep industry.

     

    So do some research, and if you have to ask, learn to ask the right questions here. Else I do not see the point of interacting based on a couple of open and shut threads about whether there are reps of this or that super exotic watch, or whether you could build a pure gold statue out that tells the time when you point at it and ask "time, goldie?"

    Do a search, and search and read well. 

     

    Know what exists now, know the constraints and mentality of the rep makers. There are many many lovely rep models available in the market right now. If none of them suits your fancy, then my unsolicited but judicious advice is, save up for the genuine watch and be happy with what the rep industry cannot offer you.

     

    Try not to ask questions that can be clearly answered by a single word "NO". 

  3. While waiting for mine to arrive, I keep coming to this thread which member projectologist started, to admire the pictures he posted.

    Its like walking by the car showroom to view the car again and again after while waiting for the one you ordered to be ready.

     

    Reviews like this are not useful at all. They only make you want a watch you know you don't need, to buy a watch which was previously shrouded in obscurity, and become poorer in the end. Where is the gain in that? :D :D

  4. In my opinion, my buddy and friend daytona1984 should be banned from RWG for creating envy and jealousy among other members, with his 101 AP, Hublot, IWC, Rolex and whatever else frankens he shows off from time to time. :D

     

    OK just joking! This (and many others) are very very nice watches, and took a lot of time and money to build. I cannot say how impressed I am by how this dude sources all the gen parts and puts them together via Domi and others..  :thumbs:

     

    Well done yet once again bro. :notworthy:  

  5. http://www.dressmini.com/pic/max/one-shoulder-long-floor-length-sweep-brush-train-beading-casual-evening-dress-ed085d.jpg dress it may not be so much about what you buy, but where you buy.The ring finger was designated by the Egyptians who believed that the the fourth finger on the left hand contained a vein that ran directly to the heart.After looking at the basic body shapes, there are some other body related issues than you may need to consider when choosing your wedding dress style:If you are plus sized, then think less is more! If you want to wear a dress decorated with beads and crystals, make sure they are subtle and go for the flat versions rather than larger rounded ones. Choose a different flavor for each tier & make sure they are colored accordingly, for instance one orange, one lemon, one lime; fill in the space between each tier with corresponding fresh fruits.  http://www.dressmini.com/   http://www.dressmini.com

    what does this have to do with the oil prices in Iraq and the child labor situation in Cambodia? 

  6. Like the others Said Rice is your friend ;)

    you know S, that sounds really funny.. lol

     

    But to the OP, I had a similar experience last year, and I just unscrewed the crown totally and left it in the sun for a few hours.  (I had no access to RICE lol)

    Everything was good thereafter. 

  7. well yes, if the waiting time is about a few days or 1 week, I would wait. 

    By the way, lovely choice for the RG RO. :)

     

    Honestly with the way the RO reps are built, I personally would not buy the gen if I just want a beautiful looking dress watch. :)

  8. All part of the game, relax.

     

    why don't you ask for a partial refund while waiting? That way, you can always source this from another dealer. Or take your time to find a replacement watch.

    Its no big deal, really. But don't settle for second best just because you already paid.You likely won't be happy with whatever replacement watch you find. 

  9. I've been coming to this thread everyday and looking at the 448. I think I'll get one. Just a last silly question: does it take a lot of winds to fully wind the watch? I understand it's the new movement with the absurdly long PR. ;)

  10. Intime seems to have another variant of this, with the black strap. 

    I have studied the rep and compared it against pictures of the gen, and I would have to say that this is very close.

    On Intime's site, you can see that the "SEVEN" and "FRIDAY" fonts are pretty accurate vs the gen.
