pbe2410@wanadooadsl.net Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Some pics of my Survivor recently arrived from King Of course yu can think it isn´t your cup of tea but on the hand, consstrucction, material quality and overall sensation made me feel really happy of ordering it The big issue concerned me was pusher protectors, I asked several time to King before ordering and she convinced me they wuld work, and really they do, tight with no crappy feeling. It is said it is the same mechanism that in the gen, noot sure about but probably is, it is the configuration of the protector what makes it work Caseback is really nice and well done NO lume, well to be honest a real poor lume but I can live with it nd diddn´t expect enything better. Rubber strap could probabñy be better This is not a review but my sensations with the wath, It is a radical one, you can like it or not but the piece is one of the better reps out there at the moment Thanks for viewing!!

lanikai Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Thanks Pete for taking the time to post this and congrats on your Survivor it is a macho looking piece for a watch.. Hows the weight and do the pusher protectors conflict with the position you wear it on your wrist?? like some Grahams have the pushers on the left side of the watch for practical reasons.. does the Survivor need to be worn on the right hand for comfort?? again thanks for you view on the watch.. the insight really helps..

pbe2410@wanadooadsl.net Posted January 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Hi Lani Thans for your kind words That is what I thought, Survivor is a right hand watch but not at all, for me at least is a wery comfortable watch on my left hand, no problems with pushers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSRep Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Another survivor! Big congrats Pete. I wouldnt be able to pull it off but its a great looking watch that looks like it could do some serious damage Just love the dial, hands and crown! Enjoy in good health....

DuDro Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Great photos! How about some wrist shots? I'm still on the fence about adding a AP chrono to my collection... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 I'm on the fence with this one. I love the watch, but the pusher guards are over the top. I still might get this one due to the fact that it's supposedly made very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchurch Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Are these all marked 0039/1000? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 What a shame...the only AP ROO I cannot warm my heart for. Anyway, thanks for posting it and enjoy the watch. Theo BTW....the gen SURVIVOR rubber-strap is said to be the most comfortable rubber strap AP ever did, many collectors order the Survivor-rubber aand put it on their standard Offshore due to comfort of the rubber and buckle (and the more wider tapered ends).

importr Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 I've often wondered about wether I'd buy this for fun, as its a fabulous piece of engineering, but its definately too big and clunky for me. Hope you wear it often though! and get some good use out of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
