I think they both would look great. Thanks. I'm soliciting opinions as to which shade is like the OEM strap. I'm still stuck on the fence about this.

@A, actually this one is not an air-cooled machine. It's a BMW 8 Alpina-tuned Wow, watches and not just one but two cars alike in a way! My brother!

ah thats an awesome ride bro.. i just googled it, and yours must be something close to what i read lol.

We are men, and we share the same vices

So jealous of that car. Won't be seeing a two seater for years. V-10 or turbo V-8?

W, its a V8 but non turbo. nicely tuned to do the 0-60 in 3.8sec though

Cars are a matter of personal choice.. like you said, you wont get a two seater even with a million dollars in the bank

cool looking but I wouldnt wear it. Just a matter of personal preference.

Thanks A. To have a Gen's and still hang around in the rep forums, definitely its a hobby for you , If only there were Replica R8's and Ferraris. LOL what would the world become. (I mean I know they are but not like this)

oh, no doubt. These days, you can find either replicas, imitations, or parodies of almost everything.

You forget I am ALSO a rep collector, and a rather serious one at that. Besides, the company rocks. I wouldnt want to be anywhere else.

now, I know nothing about rolex explorer. When you say "atrocity", do you mean its an ugly watch, a fantasy rep, or both?

Lovely ride I must say, especially in Singapore. Drove my friend's the other day, definitely a mind blower. I've never drove a Ferrari yet, so fastest car I've driven so far.

Gratz on your beautiful baby.

Your one lucky man Mr.A, having gen AP's and driving an R8. Living the "A" dream. Dare not say its American

lol J, I work for everything I have.. cars and watches are not status symbols for me, strictly speaking. They are just things I like personally. You'll get there one day.

Com'n you're not very old yourself

yes you're right, only like what, 13-14 yrs older than you? Thats half a generation the last time I checked, and an entire cycle of chinese almanac

Gratz, look great!

@ A, is that your New Audi R8 showing it off eh?

Its my car, but a 2 yr old ride.. I have decided to change my signature for a while thats all Mr J sir

Id get it if u get it Mr.A

Oh wait, was it another post? My apologies, No lume. "Updated with AR cyclops, off white datewheel backgrouynd, rounded pushers,"

ah damn.. not for me then

Thanks I was looking for a review too. Mind sharing the difference between V5 and what you have? From Puretime, they said it was the lume, rounded pushers, color of the base of the datewheel or whatever you call it.

Missing anything? How does this compare to the Latest Safari? Thanks

Did I read lume? Thats a very nice upgrade for me!

A, u love this game dont u

@Todd, its great to know you have nice and accepting friends

only with the young ones like you Mr J sir.

Hey gents, which AP Bands strap is closest to the OEM strap color?

the doctored up photoshop pics of the watch make it look chocolate brown, but looking at real life pics, it seems more dark brown.

I really can't tell, and my local Audemars Piguet dealer obviously does not have this watch in stock to compare (there is a lonely original version white date rubberclad rosegold for $52k).

I've got a spare black hornback that I'll try with the watch, but I would like a brown one like the OEM version.

I would get it with black stitching.

Your thoughts?

Thanks!

PS. @A: an 8 for you? I've got an 8 albeit a different Bavarian monster

Hey D, yeah an 8 for me

Let me guess, your "8" is aircooled.

No offence taken my friend i sometimes post on here like sending a sms on my mobile !

Let me guess, you are 23 yrs old lol

Is Chronopassion V5 closer or the Safari? I've been meaning to pull the trigger on a Roo for awhile but I can't seem to do it. Mr. A there have been predicting my future and how I could not live with those flaws on a ROO. DAMN MR.A, I think hes right though. hahaha.

But to be frank, after handling a couple of Rep AP's. It makes me really want to get one.

+1 for AP rep instead of the Navy. (AP's are forever )

Lol, yeah get the ones which I told you about, you will be satisfied after some mods.

Bro, you need to use ur punctuation. I kinda get your story, but find it hard to read. hehe. But yes, many gen owners don't know the exact details of many models and don't know what to look for. And with high quality reps as what we have, the construction is fairly good. But except, many details are not as well made. Like what you pointed out, the clicking noise probably does not sound as smooth. But then again, you get what you pay for, and gotta mod it to get the best out of it.

believe it or not, J, I have rep rolexes which bezels "click" better than my gen one

boybands

They updated the dial color from brown to grey-ish brown, the pusher mod was done and the cyclops got AR.

Dr. Theo

They should start thinking about getting the lumes correct on the relevant models too

I owned an SLK280 for six months,and sold it. It did not exhibit problems like that which you mentioned, but the drive simply is not up to scratch, compared with my Audi.

I guess its personal preference in my case. I hope your car gets sorted out ASAP. The list of problems look a little overwhelming :/
