tkmloh Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 (edited) They finally made it. "Made with reference from a Non Dissected Genuine Watch supplied a Renowed AP collector.. Identity is witheld. " Looks good. Nice watch. But i think the dimensions are not accurate. The Genuine is 44mm, Josh's site says 42mm. Better verify... And it would be cool if it comes with velcro and canvas strap as per genuine... Edited August 2, 2009 by tkmloh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanytical Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 The AP logo on the dial is wrong. Argh! It was more accurate looking on the secs @ 9. I wonder if they'll fix it. It's still a great looking watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam1950 Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 its correct size. huh? it's supposed to be 44mm, not 42, right???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkmloh Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 its correct size. Josh couldn't concur on the size, says it's same as GEN. So, unless someone buy this and check out the size,it's stated 42mm and 15.5mm thickness on his site. The GEN is 44mm and 17mm thick...

1976 Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Very nice, us for the size the measure the bezel which is 42mm and not the case at 44mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bosk Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 However you measure the rep, its size is correct. There have been a few comparisons of the AP ROO rep and gen (side-by-side) and the dimensions are identical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it was indeed correct from day one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Looks nice aside from the incorrect AP logo (as mentioned earlier in this thread). Oh well, what can ya do... This watch is so rare that I guess it really doesn't matter. A velcro and black rubber strap alternative would be nice IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swdivad Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Just ordered mine... my grail! Too bad about the logo, but I think it's worth it even with the issue... which brings me to the question what is actually wrong? From what I see, it is a little too far to the right, or centered between the date and the center... should it be offset closer to the center? Is that the only visible issue?

elisiX Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 I think the AP logo issue is minimal and barely noticeable. The date window position should concern you more. Overall, I think this looks fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tech Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 I think the AP logo issue is minimal and barely noticeable. The date window position should concern you more. Overall, I think this looks fantastic. Agree. I think it looks pretty good overall...wasn't this the model that had the wrong tachmetre scale from a few years back i.e., TTK sourced EODs from MBK? Looks like that got fixed...I just hope the color of the yellow is right...I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on this one...the velcro strap shouldn't be too far behind...

eunomians Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Yeah the date window is the only issue.... I think the AP logo is probably hard to notice in person. The way I look at it is that the chances of seeing another EOD in the wild while wearing this rep is slim to none! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertieng Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 But with the rep now widely available. You are bound to see more on the street, and the people will start thinking you are wearing a rep. That's why I resist and stay away from all the AP reps. The only way to stay high nowadays is with the frankens, old school Swiss PAM's like 027, 028, 029, 172 etc., modded MBK Rollies..... If you go to yahoo auction Hong Kong, you will see all the so called highend reps. offering by the dealers are being sold there in the open market.

The change you see a AP ED on the street is very very small. 90% of the people on the street don't even know AP and 99% have never heard of the ED model. People on the street do know Rolex though and the first question they will probably ask is " is it real?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertieng Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 @ Sander I am not sure where you are located. But if in Hong Kong, AP is just as popular as Rolex. It is not that difficult to come across somebody wearing an AP on the bus/subway actually. And these people are for sure knowledgable about AP's.

chubbchubb Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 I guess HK is special in that respect. In terms of size, it is a rather "small" place, with a lot of affluent people crowded into little space. It is also at the front door of the world's center of replica production. Once you go to other major cities around the world, especially outside the Far East, you will see not that many AP's in the wild and average Joe on the street will not have a clue. I have never been asked about my EOD as it is rather a stealh - than a "bling" watch, while people have commented on my PAMs, my Rollies at al. Furthermore, even though I'm a long time watch afficionado (which means I always look at peoples wrists) and do see quite a bit of wealthy people in my business, I have never seen anyone wearing an EOD. I myself know the gen only from pictures. In my eyes, my chances of seeing the real deal in person are close to zero. I also think that for the bulk of the rep buyers, (and I DON'T mean the people who spend their time on fora like this and for whom this is more of a hobby), the main reason for buying a rep is that they want to show off. For that you need a watch that gets noticed... - why do you think the factories have waited so long to do an EOD sec@12 while at the same time chunking out generations of Submariners, Seadwellers and DSSD...? jm2c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neuuubeh Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Ok they are knowledgeable, but really, how close is anyone going to get to your watch in real life, normal conditions :X. I'd creep out if someone is staring at my watch, doesnt matter whether gen or not :x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
