Guest Sql_pl Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I can't really explain why but I am really more and more interested in this particular LE. I think it may attract me thanks to its fresh color scheme, so much different from 3 ROOs that I already had. The thing that worries me is the list of flaws: 1. Incorrect bezel tachy ring markings 2. Stupid 001/500 flaw (well at least we know the story of real 001 so we can try to pull it - but it would be tough "Audemars Piguet sold the first "Rh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodfella0406 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 (edited) I like it and again my contention is that the lighting of the pics tells a large part of the story... In regard to the pushers.... the same could be said for the Navy... but my feeling is the pushers on my navy ROO are very good and very close in color and one would have to have an actual GEN sitting next to it to perhaps make any distinction about the color of the pushers... I am a guy that loves colors so to me it's cool for an every once and a while thing. The replication seems strong the 001 is an issue as you stated. I like this one and have spoken with Josh about having it made.... Edited August 26, 2009 by goodfella0406 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Rue St-Honore.... great watch and one of the coolest streets in Paris. AP, Hublot, Chronopassion, Wempe - unbelievable place for window shopping! Hermes, Laboutin, Chanel etc etc to keep the better half entertained as well!

I have not heard back yet regarding this, I have been bugging him about my new rubber clad but I will follow up with him today. I did tell him that I would buy one if they would make it...seems to me an easy rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Sure easy as they already have all the ingredients. Red hands, blue dial. They only need to make new caseback, hopefully not 000 or 001 this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it may attract me thanks to its fresh color scheme, so much different from 3 ROOs that I already had. So what do you say? Thanks! Hi M. yes of course this watch speaks to me as well....and again I feel we are bros in mind....the Rue St. H. was on my list as well....I am not the red-strap fan but like the watch anyway. But for over 500$ I expect a rep that has no obvious flaws (at least a BASE tachy and better serial like 087/500). AP does many watches (ROO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormTooper4 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 I am so feeling this watch right now, Red is very cool indeed. If I hadn't just bought the misses a PRESENT I'd have ordered this today. Pesky women getting in the way of my watch buying Do it Dude and if you no likey sell it on there will be plenty of punters ST4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Guys I think there is a small chance they might have corrected this stupid serial mistake! Looks like they did it with Singapore F1 model! Josh pic, 000/000: Hont's new pics, 066/250: Also JBB is now offered with Jalan Bukit Bintang on caseback (initially they were offered with regular non-LE caseback): Maybe Rhone-Fusterie was also updated?

Guest Sql_pl Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 As for the Rue St-Honore we are really close: With this: 3 red hands, correct caseback and strap and we have it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarpo Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 As for the Rue St-Honore we are really close: With this: 3 red hands, correct caseback and strap and we have it! I think I love it... Don't you think the Rue STH is darker blue?? look at the buttons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 I think reps are a bit lighter, both red and blue. But it also may be just lighting trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdubpower Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 i have a JBB, i love it, but i need that case back how can i get one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodfella0406 Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Josh said no go on the Rue St-Honore, which is a total bummer for a few reasons, one being it's a really good looking watch and two, as per the pics above, it seems quite a simple rep with everything but strap and caseback intact..

archibald Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Man whoever bought the gen dial that sold on ebay for like $150 a while ago is golden...as for the Rue St-Honore not being repped...well it shows that there is at least one person in China with taste. No offense to those who love it--but to me it looks like the end result of some freedom fries eating Republican taking the AP design team hostage.

archibald Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Gen dial will not work with reps. Different date window location. Yep, you'd have to do the full monty--gen dial, plugged and redrilled case, Ventu movement. But, IMO the more expensive the gen the more that nightmare makes sense...
