MBW AP Royal Oak jumbo - First-batch/Second-batch


Katerchen

Recommended Posts

Hi there @ all Audemars Piguet lovers :victory:

Decided to post this, because obviously there hasnt

been much discussion about differences concerning

the "old" first run or batch model of the

AP Royal Oak mbk/mbw version and the new version...

Yes, its right... i wouldnt call this properly a

continuation of the so called "ceased" model.

To be more precise its a "new version" of the old

mbk AP RO jumbo 15202ST replica with major

differences to the first run!

Another thing i couldnt fully understand is

why nobody else beeing so picky about other reps

and rehauts pointed this new flaws out, although

there have been already some successful attempst

made to mod this replica by respected members here...

There have been WG Plating - by RedBig...

and for example Screw-Fitting, Hands-moding by Randy/Ubi

Not to foget moding the bracelet which i also

did on 2 of my reps - this is an urgent mod for comfort!

I decided to use existing pics of the watch -

to be true, i was way too lazy ;)

Sorry george - pls dont forget ---> all pictures by courtesy of Watchmaker9.tv

thank you! This picutures seem to be predetermined

for a comparison:

Thanxs a lot!

Whoever is lucky enough to get (i own 2 of them)

one of the first batch models with old-style dial

is the lucky beggar...

I dont know why does he have to change to source of his parts...

yup... you are damn right.

...and i would be very pleased if not only

few of the AP RO jumbo owners (there are lots on RWG for ex.)

could stand up and take a look on their wrist to

determine which version they own...

it would be VERY interesting too

to hear what our trusted rep dealer can say

and/or confirm about "version 1" and "version 2"!?

Eurotimez/Chris comes to my mind but there

are also smaller dealers with mbk/thai sources.

So... who is able to source the "good" or

better version of the 2?

Or even spare-parts...

Im interested in a spare dial for example.

I can try to replicate the dial if you have the gen dial. Just gather everyone here who want the most accurate dial for AP.

;)

Are you serious??

Replicate?

By means of replicating the printing/letters or

entire dial?

...ive got to get me some sleep now :mellow:

I know that a genuine AP 15202ST Dial

is about 650,-

@rolexfinder

pls be a little bit more precise

about your abilities to replicate a genuine dial

because i might be able to get one - youve got PM!!

i dont want to discuss this here because

the "contact" i have is quite a delicate one,

its NOT beneficial for me to getting in contact

with this person at any time - unless

i am sure i want to buy something and i

have to do preorder and prepayment!

Its simple as 1,2,3 to the readers down

here, that if this person even gets the slightest

doubt that my request/acquisition could have

anything to do with replica-watches :(

it would be the last time he would offer

anything to me or just mention prices of gen parts!

So please get in touch with me private.

I am willing to get in contact with this person

if this is a "good possibility" to achieve an

even more stunning AP Jumbo rep to the members here.

If theres a possible and neat way to replicate the gen

dial for you Paul, than paying 650,-

Ok people...

Paul will get in touch with his dial-manufacturer.

I guess he will let us know the outcome

(pics of replicated/manufactured dials might be very helpful)

Another thing thats VERY important to me:

HOW MANY of you folks are interested in

a CLONING-PROJECT of the genuine AP Dial??

Please POST inside this thread...

The reason i ask is because i am not going

to contact the person i know before we made

up our minds (together) how we split up

the amount (maybe about 650,- Euro)

necessary for preordering and prepaying

the dial. This price ive been told about

a year ago (650 Euro) for an AP jumbo 15202ST

dial.

If there are enough interested members

willing to spent an amount to finance the 650,-

I would be in

1.rolexfinder

2.(myself)

3.aanival

so far so good.

pls also do mention what

amount you are willing to pay...

i would be in with 50 up to 100 Euro

depends also on quality of

Mr. Rolexfinder replication technique :D

but i guess Paul will keep us informed.

Also pls remember that your(our)

money will be spent on a gen dial.

I have NO idea what price

will be the replication of this thing...

But let me guess... with all the members

that already own an MBK/MBW jumbo

or people that consider getting one.

This project will be able to be "refinanced"

just by the number of people willing

to buy a good reped dial!?

I really have no clue, but i think

that if a good replication of a Jumbo-Dial

will exist - at least I woluld be willing

to spent (again) 50-100

I m in for 65 euros, who gets original dial when the project is completed ?

LOL

@specialvat... good one!

And i thought i already did consider everything.

No... you are goddamn right!

At the moment there is one idea

coming to my mind:

1.) Presumed that the genuine dial

will survive the "process of replication"

and

2.) presumed that the option of

portioning/cutting the GEN dial

is utter bull_shit

i propose

to auction the genuine dial

at the end of the project,

spending the asset-money either

1. to the board

or

2. to the members

that made the purchase

of the gen dial possible

with their deposit!

So what do you think??

And @specialvat

you are giving me a very good

"impulse" with youre "65" Euros!!

I think if the price is still

650 Euros for me and my contact

is still able to source us the needed part,

a "deposit" of 10% seems to be fair

to me or even to others.

So what does this means to me?

K... if we do find 10 Persons

willing to spent 65,-

Sorry Katerchen...

No "sorry-situation" down here ;)

the same goes with me...

im also waitin to get some more specific infos

about the possible results of a dial cloning.

Rolexfinder got my PM, i guess hes waitin

confirmation/infos from his dial-manufacturer.

I guess the best will be to start a second thread

if the quality of the replicated dials (i guess

it should be possible to post some pics of

allready produced dials of this manufacturer)

is good enough to give this project a try

with a genuine sample.

This issues have to be sorted out

before i try to get in contact with

my contact. So i we have to work close

together... nobody would benefit of

a situation for ex. having bought

a gen dial (thru a group of members)

without having a good possibility

of cloning this thing ;)

I guess its Rolexfinders turn now.

We have to be patient...

I really cross my fingers and hope

that if i call my contact again,

he would say "k, what ref., color,

price is..., drop me the cash...

approximate time will be bla bla."

I hope this will work out for all of us!

Lets see.
