Quarks Posted August 21, 2006 Report Posted August 21, 2006 They have it here:- http://www.gorx-eshop.com/book.asp?id=605 The quality is questionable tho.
tonton2000 Posted August 21, 2006 Report Posted August 21, 2006 They have it here:- http://www.gorx-eshop.com/book.asp?id=605 The quality is questionable tho. Umm yeah quite questionable!! At least they have a dial and rotating bezel already. All that needs improving is: Font on the inner bezel needs to be bolder Date cyclops Case finishing Screws facing the right way around Case back ETA movt
tonton2000 Posted August 21, 2006 Report Posted August 21, 2006 front view It also probably has the black rubber ring around the bbottom of the bezel like this
none Posted August 21, 2006 Report Posted August 21, 2006 I got positive news from KEN (Honpo): Audemars Piguet Royal Oak OffShore replica will be out soon. They are working on the developments from the original so the finish will be highest in the market. Hopefully, they should be able to release them next month...

Guest Sql_pl Posted August 21, 2006 Report Posted August 21, 2006 (edited) I also got a response from Ken. He even mentioned pre-orders, I just asked him about some details so we will see. Maybe they are working on a chrono version? It would be even cooler! Just look at this: Edited August 21, 2006 by Sql_pl
Quarks Posted August 21, 2006 Report Posted August 21, 2006 I actually strapped an AP ROO Black Themes bracelet on my wrist and I was very damn well hooked. I would love to get that one day. For now, I'll stick to reps. Hopefully Ken is bringing this one out. I know one of our dealer is in contact with the factory and from what I was told, the factory is working on an AP ROO Chrono 7750. When will it be out? I was told soon. No word from the factory as yet. Sql-pl, any idea how much are we looking at??
TomBombadil Posted August 21, 2006 Report Posted August 21, 2006 That watch rules. My fav AP RO by far.
ratchpot Posted August 21, 2006 Report Posted August 21, 2006 The interest in this watch is obviously there (IMO that goes for all ROs), so if the rep is good enough perhaps we should think about a group buy. Slightly OT, but has anyone asked Honpo about the status of the 1:1 RO Chrono yet? I would rather know for sure whether it's going to happen than to keep waiting for years in anticipation.
jfreeman420 Posted August 21, 2006 Report Posted August 21, 2006 Found this at replica factory. Got an email from them. Is this ed from rebeccawatch? Replicafactory

Nothing special "This replica is one of the best AP Royal Oak Offshore pieces we ever launched. Although the internal bezel cannot be controlled by the screw-in crown at 10 o'clock, and it cannot go down into deep water. It is still made by solid 440L stainless steel and Japanese 17 jewels automatic mechanical movement. Its dial reflects sophistication in black micro-squared design and bears the inscription 'Wempe' in understated fashion. Turn the watch around and the back shows an unique compus"
TiberiousT Posted August 21, 2006 Report Posted August 21, 2006 I also got a response from Ken. He even mentioned pre-orders, I just asked him about some details so we will see. Maybe they are working on a chrono version? It would be even cooler! Is this a Daytona @6 type model where they will build an extra bridge for RO? On the other RO with a Japanese 17J auto, where is that movement from and who makes it? Miyota,Seiko or some random company? Those look awfully iffy. Wempe ROO with an Eta looks like best option.
tonton2000 Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 Probably a bog standard japanese auto movt. Any GOOD offshore sized Royal Oak would be a dream come true, even more so if it were the chrono version with a modified movt so the subdials could be in the right places (dont ask for much do i?!)
Chronus Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 I'm in for a good quality one. I would prefer the original one shown rather than a chrono, if the genuine is only with seconds at 12... i'd rather not have modified movements and take an ETA.
ubiquitous Posted September 7, 2006 Report Posted September 7, 2006 Okay... So, who here bought TTK's Wempe?
rek001 Posted September 7, 2006 Report Posted September 7, 2006 Nobody. Neil just bought one for himself, and doesn't know if he can get more. Typical scottish yuppie behavior.
rek001 Posted September 7, 2006 Report Posted September 7, 2006 Err, oops, I just saw Neil's sales post reagrds the Ap RO, boy am I embarrased. Sorry, Neil!
none Posted September 7, 2006 Report Posted September 7, 2006 (edited) And I was about to pull the trigger... even with the gold that bugged me. C'mon Neil, a Wempe in Steel... It's an Asian Automatic, I don't like that... why no ETA? WE NEED STEEL WITH ETA... Edited September 7, 2006 by none
rek001 Posted September 8, 2006 Report Posted September 8, 2006 First dibs on the rose gold/black version
dluddy Posted September 8, 2006 Report Posted September 8, 2006 I have to admit that I am not a big RO fan but that Rose Gold one TTK posted made me jitter
