Guest Sql_pl Posted August 20, 2006 Report Posted August 20, 2006 I would really love to see more AP reps appearing, especially some OffShores as regular 36 mm Royal Oaks seem to be pretty small now after all those PAMs... The problem with OffShore reps is that there is no movement supporting small secs at 12.... So maybe rep makers should think about replicating this limited Wempe OffShore? Regular ETA would do just fine here! And no chrono issues! It is simple but still great! And BIG! Cheers!
tonton2000 Posted August 20, 2006 Report Posted August 20, 2006 forget it, i just saw it on google images!! PLEASE MAKE THIS!!!!! No chrono spacing/placement issues! Just make the dial and rotating inner bezel (easy cos its been done on numerous reps already) and stick it in a nice offshore sized case. PETITION TIME, WHO WANTS THIS WATCH!!!!!!!!!
Guest Sql_pl Posted August 20, 2006 Report Posted August 20, 2006 (edited) EDIT: You were faster Tonton Even the caseback should be doable as we have seen similar casebacks on cheap CIty Of Sails reps earlier Edited August 20, 2006 by Sql_pl
sashwatch Posted August 20, 2006 Report Posted August 20, 2006 (edited) nice!! i definetly will buy one as soon as its available! Edited August 20, 2006 by sash5
archibald Posted August 20, 2006 Report Posted August 20, 2006 I usually hate the clunky sport RO's, but this one is gorgeous. From the examples of high end CNC engraving I've seen on the web, the back should be a snap for the top factories, and there are $60 reps that have crown-rotated bezels. Another vote for a rep of this one...
linkukbora Posted August 20, 2006 Report Posted August 20, 2006 Simple and elegance piece Another vote from me
yellomen Posted August 20, 2006 Report Posted August 20, 2006 Yes!! If there is a quality version available of this piece i'd be very happy
none Posted August 20, 2006 Report Posted August 20, 2006 (edited) Yes!! If there is a quality version available of this piece i'd be very happy I am definitely in if they make a good quality rep of this one!!!!!!!!!!! Edited August 20, 2006 by none
perini Posted August 20, 2006 Report Posted August 20, 2006 I'm ready to send my money! Mee too! By the way, this baby is 42mm, not too small, but not as large as the 45mm Offshore models. And I wouldn't really mind to pay more $$$ for a piece with better finishing and accuracy, especially as we are talking about AP.
none Posted August 20, 2006 Report Posted August 20, 2006 (edited) Hi people, I don't know how it works, but who on this board has direct conections with these factories? How can we let them read this specific thread??? In other words: how do they know what we really want??? Thanks Edited August 20, 2006 by none
Guest Sql_pl Posted August 20, 2006 Report Posted August 20, 2006 I will email Ken asking if he can contact Honpo about it. Maybe he can make a Honpo edition with Honpo on a dial? Cheers!

I hope you're kidding haha! Well, maybe I should contact Ken as well, just to emphasize this watch would be very polular. I am quite sure that if this watch will be replicated well, hundreds of it will be sold!
Guest Sql_pl Posted August 20, 2006 Report Posted August 20, 2006 Email sent. I also included link to this thread. We will see. I am sure it would sell especially as it would be the FIRST decent OffShore on the market!

I also sent Ken an email... he knows now Edited August 20, 2006 by none
TiberiousT Posted August 20, 2006 Report Posted August 20, 2006 I would put down a deposit for a high quality. No more cheap junk! Ditto. No half-way crap. A high quality ETA version? I would buy that yesterday. Must be correct case size.
ehtolcad Posted August 20, 2006 Report Posted August 20, 2006 from the serial, it looks like there were only 175 of these made?
longshot Posted August 20, 2006 Report Posted August 20, 2006 Sweet!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not a big AP fan, but at 42mm or so with an ETA I'd buy one
tonton2000 Posted August 20, 2006 Report Posted August 20, 2006 To anyone getting in contact with a manufacturer about this: Please make it clear that this is an Offshore size, the last thing we want is a great rep in a case thats not the right size a la Bell & Ross BR01!
Linder Posted August 20, 2006 Report Posted August 20, 2006 I would put down a deposit for a high quality. No more cheap junk!
