Guest Sql_pl Posted August 16, 2006 Report Posted August 16, 2006 Looks like rep factories started to appreciate AP brand - after those SS Royal Oaks released recently now it looks like they started making them in Gold! I am not really into gold watches but AP RO is one of the watches I would love in gold... so I guess I will have to get myself one to compliment my oldschool SS version! Cheers!
Guest Sql_pl Posted August 16, 2006 Report Posted August 16, 2006 There is also blue version: and black and grey
Guest Sql_pl Posted August 16, 2006 Report Posted August 16, 2006 Now tell me... White or blue? White or blue? There aren't too many flaws.... they filled the gap between A and P... too bad there is a step that Randy mentioned - between case and bracelet.....
xelorrolex Posted August 16, 2006 Report Posted August 16, 2006 (edited) Now tell me... White or blue? White or blue? (...) Definitively white, by far much more fancy specially on a gold watch !! Come ooooon , jump on this we only live once !!!! Xel Edited August 16, 2006 by xelorrolex
ehtolcad Posted August 16, 2006 Report Posted August 16, 2006 my tastes would say blue without question. looks totally luxurious...mmmmm ro
Quarks Posted August 17, 2006 Report Posted August 17, 2006 White gets my vote. Could not be any classier than that!
JosePR Posted August 17, 2006 Report Posted August 17, 2006 white looks better in gold, better contrast
KB Posted August 17, 2006 Report Posted August 17, 2006 I have always loved blue and gold but in this case I will have to agree the white does look classier. Ken
archibald Posted August 17, 2006 Report Posted August 17, 2006 Another vote for white. I say black, since black is sportier to my eye--a black dial combined w/ the design of the RO makes this about as versitile of gold watch as you can get. I assume this version sports the same flaws as discussed on the SS version--in addition to the lack of gold stamps on the back which I assume the gen has. Still, if the plating on this is decent, it goes on the list.
Watchmeister Posted August 17, 2006 Report Posted August 17, 2006 The color does appear pretty close. On the TT's my issue is the gold datewheel. The gens all have gold background on the datewheels. I wonder if that can be fixed? At least the all gold appears to have a white background datewheel.
xelorrolex Posted August 17, 2006 Report Posted August 17, 2006 (edited) If only this was available.... Well, i guess your dream comes true .... Please, check this on sean's website. That's not exactly the same (RG leather offshore) but very close tough ! Best regards Xel Edited August 18, 2006 by xelorrolex
ubiquitous Posted August 17, 2006 Report Posted August 17, 2006 I dig the white... Definitely! And, who knows... Perhaps we'll see a Classic Royal Oak Chronograph by year's end?
ratchpot Posted August 21, 2006 Report Posted August 21, 2006 (edited) And, who knows... Perhaps we'll see a Classic Royal Oak Chronograph by year's end? ubi, making a statement like that is like dangling a piece of banoffee pie in front of a starving man, just outside of his reach. Shame on you... Edited August 21, 2006 by ratchpot
thomasng Posted August 21, 2006 Report Posted August 21, 2006 Sorry to burst bubbles but I believe only the white dial is available for the all gold of the 14790. This is one beautiful and elegant watch, the only all-gold I would wear. I tried one on at The HourGlass in Tokyo on Saturday and it looks great with a suit, the brushed YG makes it look classy instead of flashy.
ubiquitous Posted August 21, 2006 Report Posted August 21, 2006 Admin is correct- The only gen that exists of the bunch is the 14790BA.0.0789BA.07 (white dial, 18k YG). The other dial colors are fun, though...
Bravo Posted August 21, 2006 Report Posted August 21, 2006 (edited) The color does appear pretty close. On the TT's my issue is the gold datewheel.

Gens also have yellow gold bezel screws: Edited August 21, 2006 by Bravo
thomasng Posted August 21, 2006 Report Posted August 21, 2006 Gens also have yellow gold bezel screws: That's a pile of rubbish. It's white gold with a yellowish tint.
ubiquitous Posted August 21, 2006 Report Posted August 21, 2006 But they do have yellow datewheels...
Bravo Posted August 21, 2006 Report Posted August 21, 2006 That's a pile of rubbish. It's white gold with a yellowish tint. Pardon my ignorance, but they looked like yellow gold to me (but what do I know )
k2222 Posted August 21, 2006 Report Posted August 21, 2006 i'am sorry but they all look the same- like 35$ reps.
