I allways liked the MASATO ... it has an elegant appearance with it´s color combination with a twist of bling....just right for my taste.

But I second your thoughts....you´ll need a new strap for it...let me recommend Mario from ORLOFF straps, he does a wonderful work, uses high grade leathers and the attachment to the case is the very best (similar to gen or APBands) as he uses plastik inlays under the leather...his prices are reasonable and the only con does not count here me thinks...he dos not offer hornback....but the MASATO needs a more ellegant strap, a matte black croc with double red stitch...awesome!

Thanks doc, it is indeed so elegant.

Yes, that's one of the reason i get it with rubber, the rep strap is too, well, rep. So i'm gonna search for good aftermarket leather strap.

I'm gonna look at orloff.

hi guys,

just got this beautiful pieces from my local dealer with a good price. purposely ordered with one with black rubber strap instead of the leather strap with red stitching (planning to buy a custom leather strap)

I thought the red color will make this piece go nasty and cheap, but it goes very nice and elegant on the wrist.

i think there is very few love for the Masato, so enjoy some pics

got this unique number 200/200 from him.

on my 6.2" wrist. need to punch 2 new holes on the rubber strap to fit nicely.

now my RO have a friend

I love this one. how bout you?

The Gen is not AR'd. We do this to simulate the optical quality of the Gen glass. It is very clear.

Check the lume for yourself, perhaps on a watch with such little area to lume is not that good of an investment.

thank you before for your response, mate. i really appreciate it.

anyway. I think the lume doesn't look really bad. it is "there". so I think I'm not cinsidering any relume.

for further mod option.

about the AR, I don't have any AR specialized for watch in my country. do you think any store who sell lenses for eyeglasses can help me to get my watch AR'd?

gonna wear this for a while

If you want to improve it, you could have it AR treated and re-lumed.

The AR treatment will bring out the dial and make the watch look so much better. Lume is a bit more of a luxury, but quite fun when it is done correctly.

Perhaps that is what you need to remove the feeling of rep.

The process will however set you back a lot more than $85 ...

that's why i'm asking for some comment here

if people here think that this rep is good enough in overall (not including the movement and caseback, I personally like the closed back better than showing better replica movt), then I'm willing to spent my money for modding it rather than buying another royal oak replica.

so agree with the AR and relume :)

anyway, does the gen is also AR-ed?

Looks awesome for $85, how is the bracelet??

Movement looks like your run of the mill chinese 2813 21j. Considering the Gen is low beat this actually a more accurate option.

bracelet is good, it doesn't rattle much, fit well on my wrist. except for, I think the dealer have keep this reps in the storage for too long that some of the bracelet screw are so hard to pulled off. (I have to put some grease and pushed it from behind). other that, I feel good.

but I don't know, I'm very new with AP reps. is there something to be expected from the bracelet?

anyway, thanks for telling me what movement was that. yes, it sounds low beat.

anyone know what kind of movement is that?

hello everyone

after trying many" AP reps, my wrist said that AP is not for me, except 39mm and below.

then, for starter, I think I don't want any good or such an ultimate reps, so I search on a dealer in my country, and find this guy who sell AP Royal Oak 39mm, with closed caseback, with, of course, cheapest price available.

overall, as a newbie on rep world, I think this reps is awful

it has "FAKE" written all over it . but it has an awesome look also

here some pic :

front:

side + crown :

clasp :

caseback and movement :

CONCLUSION : (not much I can say, waiting for some comment from you guys)

* I think closed caseback is better with this awful looking movement

* small and fit nicely on my wrist

* datefont seems to appear in many diferent font. :lol1::biglaugh:

* dial and prints is nicely done, except for the minutes dial, not long enough.

I think because of the dial style and the size, maybe this reps can be considered to be a 15300ST reps.

I bought this for about (after changing currency) $85.

so, do yo guys have any comment for my reps? is it not worth buying for $85? or is it worth better enough?

please give it some comment
