Hello guys! Found this forum while browsing the web about watches. I'm from EU! Hope to help as many people here as I can! I'm in the market for 2 of my favourite watches ever. Here's an overview of what I'm looking for: 1) - The classic Submariner 116610LN (date). New or used. I have preference for Noob V9 or ARF since they are the best quality from what I heard. I prefer having the watch to have sharpie/ spongebob insert and prof cristal (black hole effect on the date). Don't care too much about movement, as long as it's working smoothly and not losing much time every day (I heard 2824 is more reliable and cheaper than 3135). Ideal scenario: as new watch with the mods mentioned above and decent price. If you have a franken sub, I might consider it, but I don't want to spend too much. Throw your proposals! 2) - AP 15400 Royal Oak SS BLACK dial. JF V3 or V4. I'd love to have it with AR cristal (there's a youtube video of one, not sure I can share it here). New or used All depends on the price and condition. Same as above! Now the most important thing. I'm based in a EU country with very strict customs when it comes to goods outside EU. Anything valued over 20 euros is stopped. Therefore, I need a EU based seller to handle the process. Just like other cases seen before on this forum! - Can anyone provide me watches 1) and/or 2) stock / with mods INSIDE EU for a not to high price? (Looking for a good oportunity, but don't want to bargain to much) - If you need to order from China, can you handle the QC, do the mods (you do it or send it to someone who does it) and then ship it for me (triangular shipping)? Let me know your best deals! Reply to this topic or send me PM. Thank you!

Good day members, Here’s my honest and transparent review of our very own AP guru and RWG crew member Legend! I’ll keep this a short and to the point as possible. I’ve never been an AP guy and my eye has always been towards Rollie’s and PAM’s until.......BAM! The release of the AP forged carbon and ceramic rep models. I was reluctant to purchase any AP as the price does not match my profession alas we’ve all had or seen this discussion on the forums. I fought the urge for a few years, yes a few years until recently I found out the Noob V4(supposedly the most accurate)was discontinued by the factory and only available for purchase M2M. I found one for sale on RWG and the journey began. Once I received the watch I simply could not take it off my wrist! It was the most comfortable and light watch I’ve ever worn! The stealthy black carbon case with splash of yellow is just plain sexy and screams renaissance man! Then tragedy struck! The deco rotor plate broke☹️ I replaced it but found the screws were stripped from previous owner and the movement was shot![emoji33][emoji37] So my dilemma was to find a forum Watchsmith that would work on AP’s. In comes Legend! After researching all forums I found his specialty was modding APs to gen like status. Contacting Legend was a breeze and communication is very easy, concise, and to the point! He explains in detail very well. Off I ship my watch overseas and the wait begins. Legend evaluated my watch and gave my a complete breakdown estimate of work needed and optional mods. To be completely honest I was surprised by his prices and thought they were on the expensive end but after his explanation and reviewing the going prices of a Legend modded AP FC Diver M2M I realized his work is “Legendary” and as always you get what you pay for! Legend was very honest in his assessment of my watch and what he thought I truly needed and didn’t need. I opted for the case polishing(bring out carbon pattern per gen), Omega datewheel(better font), rebuild of the A2824(dirty and to much oil), screws polished and rethreaded, and pressure testing. Legend takes great pride in his craft and wanted to make sure I was truly satisfied with the final results of my AP FC Diver. My Diver before Legend mod I received my watch back after a little over two weeks from Singapore. Legend does pay return ship and offers a six month movement warranty. All I could say was WHOA!!!! The watch is gorgeous and his rebuilt A2824 runs like a dream! Well over 42 hours power reserve, though I haven’t timed it. After Legend mod! Off into the sunset with my Legend modded AP! So much for the short review! My final take on Legend’s work. He is a master of his craft and takes great pride in his work along with customer satisfaction however be prepared to spend cash but the end result is well worth the price of admission! Enjoy to the max! Blessings, Indy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi guys, Perhaps you know but I'm a big AP fan I just took some pictures of the Audemars Piguet Diver 15710ST. It's a great watch and it just looks different like all the AP Divers out there. I especially like the black minute hand and the black lume on this white diver. The big question is, would I pick this white dial diver over the black dial diver? As much as I like this "look" I still think the black dial diver is the one for me. Enjoy the pictures!

So, I can remember joining the rep world and asking the same question everyone asks " What is the best Rolex Sub?" Well, It's been a while since those days and now I'm asking a similar question for a different watch and model, the AP 15400. The AP 15400 has me obsessed. I am considering this one: https://puretime03.com/royal-oak-41mm-15400-ss-jf-11-best-edition-black-dial-on-ss-bracelet-a3120.html# Is this the best 15400 rep yet? any recommendations? Any major flaws? I've read a bunch on here and seen the comparisons but not much since April 2016 on this topic. I see JF is the best, but is this a newer JF? I know that thickness has been an issue, and that kind of bothers me. It reads 10.5 but I'm being told its actually 10, which would be fantastic because the gen is 9.8. Let me know!

HI there, I posted in the AP area first but think I may get more answers here... I'm looking for a replacement crown for a AP ROO Rose Gold Wempe. Anybody got any ideas where I could possibly source one? Aftermarket or rep preferably. Oh, also...if there are any experts here that know what size I need, that would be brilliant as well. If I can use a generic aftermarket crown, that would be cool too.! Cheers in advance and have a fab and groovy day!

Comparison Audemars Piguet AP ROO 44 Forged Carbon - (Gen vs Rep) No one done this FC 44 review as yet and I found this information on Chinese website and would like to share with you all here. (21/06/16) ALL CREDIT TO LINGMUWATCH Author. Here are bit of basic information and video of Forged Carbon making video. Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Forged Carbon (26400AU.OO.A002CA.01) Video (How It's Made) : - (First 2 mins) YOUTUBE Video GENERAL : From vision comparison side by side, all parts is in place where it should be, size and dimensions are very close. JF give an impression a bit brighter / whiter, it's because the dial print are slightly wider therefore look more white. DIAL : As discussed previously, GEN dial print is finer and more detail and JF is a bit wide / rough than the GEN. LOGO : In this macro, you can see the Logo and fonts looks pretty close, fonts is the same. Only slight difference of font is REP is bit bolder than the GEN. The square pannel for "Audemars Piguet" on GEN is slight longer than the REP. Therefore REP font has less gaps between alphabets and look bold. LOGO AP on GEN has thinner gap. HANDS : Hands details hardly see any differences between the two. SUB-DIAL : As we can see GEN sub-dial paint are more finer and concentric is more appealing / sharper. REP also done not bad on subdial and concentric but it just to as sharp / fine than GEN. However, these details hardly can be see without a loupe magnifier. DATE : Date frame on GEN has smoother cut around, REP font is bolder than GEN. This is visibly from naked eye. 3D printed date on GEN and REP and quite close on both. AR difference on both GEN and REP. Only thing stands out from the date window is the Index 3 is shorter than GEN, that's because of the datewheel position on the movement. Tachy : GEN font and REP looks very close. Again, GEN slightly sharper. LUME : If we look closer, JF is brighter in general. Looks a bit reverse to the GEN, Index Brighter hands not on the REP. CROWN / PUSHER : Not much differences in general, Pushers seem a bit wider, Logo engraved on GEN looks deeper. LOGO : Logo on GEN is deeper, apart from that it's spot on. REP edges seem a bit sharp tho. SIDE : Because of technology constrain, polishing not as fine as GEN. Slightly more thickness on JF case. On macro, JF has more carbon pattern effect than GEN. MOVEMENT : Movement is the hardest one to 100% copy because technology and budget constrain. From looking on the movement it is a tell tell for someone who know the GEN. However, the movement can't be seen when wearing the watch. CASEBACK : Engraving is bolder compare to GEN. Movement on GEN is finer and more detailed than REP. BUCKLE : Not much differences, GEN is engraved deeper than REP. WEIGHT : Forged carbon is an unique materials, it is very light with total weight of 91.3g. SUMMARY : In summary JF did a great job for this FC 44 ROO but there are still room for improvements on better printing, engraving and polishing. However, if the factory can invest better machine / technology and with enough budget to do so. This will be definitely a SUPER REP (Not including Movement as they've done their best already). Anyway, this is as close as REP can get with 1/40 of the GEN Price. ENJOY!!!- 6 replies

Hey RWG, I'm looking to buy a white face 15400 Audemars Pigeut Royal Oak any day now. So far, I've come across a few sellers who appear to be TD's here. Here are the two options I'm looking at: http://www.ttw8488.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=241_246&products_id=10977 http://www.intime.co/audemars-piguet/1229-jumbo-15400-swiss-eta-2824-white-41mm-by-bp-maker.html Which option looks best to you guys (regardless of price difference)? If you have a better suggestion, please let me know! Thanks in advance:)

Hello to all you sage experts here at RWG, I'm hoping for a bit of expertise. I'm hoping to purchase the best current rep 15400 41mm SS/RG ( White or Black Dial ) and have been scouring these forums for definitive advice. I may have missed something but I'm noticing that the REP at ( INTIME watches : http://www.intime.co/audemars-piguet/2047-royal-oak-41mm-15400-rg-bezel-tf-1-1-best-edition-black-dial-on-ss-rg-bracelet-miyota-9015.html ) may not be the best option. I'm hoping to find a solid rep equivalent fairly soon. Any thoughts and directions for a first-time rep buyer ? MANY THANKS !

AP Wempe Scuba Rep or Aftermarket Crowns & Pushers?
Anguz posted a topic in The Audemars Piguet Area
Hey lads, I have just purchased a used "rose gold" AP Wempe Scuba that is missing the crown and pusher. Does anyone know where I can get replacements for these? Alternatively, if I can only get a crown, does anyone know a good substitute if I cannot find the real deal? Thanks in advance! Cheers, Anguz

How does it fit? Any extra gap at the endlinks? Does this JF bracelet http://www.torobravo...product_id=1166 fit well a V5? There are any other bracelet versions for the Diver available? Thank you.

Hi guys, it looks like a JF v8 version for the AP ROO Diver has just landed on Toro's. Does anyone know a little more about? Description doesn't really help figuring out the improvements over the v7...neither do the pics could be just me though http://www.torobravo2015.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1723 Many thanks!

Good Day, are there any good AP RO in 39mm reps?

Thursday I received my FC Diver Noob v4 from PureTime. First off, I'd like to thank Angus for picking out a nice piece for me. This is my first AP and I love it! The carbon pattern is awesome and shines when hit by direct light. The ceramics bezel is even more awesome and has hundreds of different colors depending on light. The dial is nice, crisp and clean. Overal build quality is what to expect from Noob, rock solid. I have a 6.25" wrist and have mounted the XS strap from JF. I had to redrill the strap holes because it didn't fit. The standard strap also fits my wrist, but needs the tightest hole. Now I'm using the 3rd on the XS. It's probably not perfect, but I love it! And I'm looking forward adding more AP's in my collection

Need some help brothers, I recently got a Panda in an M2M trade and I love it! Only issue I have with it is there's a lot of play in the plots. They're pretty loose and rattle around a little bit when I shake the watch. Will this change if I tighten the screws on the lugs? What can I do? Is this normal?
-
This poor AP has seen better days. I decided to strip it down, and re-finish the bead blasted sections as well as restore the polished area's. Here's the before condition: BEFORE refinishing Bezel Caseback Case and clasp AFTER refinishing and bead blasting AFTER refinishing, assembled All the polished edges were hand finished Below are pictures of the genuine AP, I think I did a good job matching the finish.
