billodavio Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 I am certainly in love with all of the AP models, but wonder why aren't we focusing on the beautiful AP Royal Oak Chrono (non Offshore). It is obvioulsy a more classy watch and could be eawsily replicated. The second is at 6 hence the Asian 7750 used in the rolex daytona can be used. Maybe we should lobby to have it replicated. Let me know where you stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeSentier Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Good point! I also looked around for the classic chrono, but cannot find a source. Could of course be an interesting project after the jumbo modification project. What do you guys think? Maybe there a sources, but I don't know them. Have to ask ET. J.

rogerthat Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Isn't a seconds at 6 chrono rep even less reliable than the seconds at 12 versions? I agree that version is a classier watch, but it is also quite a bit smaller I believe and the trend right now is for the bigger watches like the AP ROO. Either way there is definitely a market for the rep if the movement issue can be resolved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 I will never buy another secs@6.... The secs@12 is also a non-reliable movement, but a watch service adds a couple of years to the movement while it hasnt done %&^t to all my daytonas. APROO have 3 working and keeping good time Daytonas have 5; all dead...1 works but has a 2 hr power reserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbjoer Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Seconds @ 6 have a bad reputation for good reasons. The 7750 is basically built for sec @ 3. Technically it is possible to shift the secs to 12 or 6. But the ROO, Rolex Daytona and IWC Portuguese have demonstrated that the rep-factories are not quite up to the task. So to make a succesful AP chrono the starting point has to be the movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RolexSigEp Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Secs @ 12 has already been proved to be a fine movement, a reliable movement, IF SERVICED. Ask The Zigmeister, he has said it and when it comes to watch movements, what he says is gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
