Jon Martin Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Hello fellas I just got back from the AD with a friend he just bought a Rose gold AP "rubberclad" and I'm feeling it Now I'm not loaded like him yet but I was playing with the idea of buying the REP RG. I bought a sec@12 stainless "rubberclad" when the sec@12 movt just came out on the rep scene. And it was a total FAIL the first one I got was DOA and the replacement they sent me only lasted a couple hours and then also died. Also the rubber came off and flaked REAL quickly pretty much within 2 weeks all the rubber was flaking off it was horrible. But then later I bought a Sec@12 Blue themes and it lasted for a good 9 months and then I sold it but it was a great watch. So basically my first question is how durable is the gold? And how durable is the rubber I thought I read somewhere they changed the rubber and made it a lot better but I'm not sure where I read that. So please let me in on the details fellas.

nakortheblue Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 I remember someone mentioning that the RG rubberclad is one of the more accurate rubberclad reps around. As for the movement, it is not as bad as the seconds@6. Sending it for servicing especially with ZM or Francisco (they polish one of the gears for lower friction) would be a good idea. I think they have fixed the rubber flaking problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nakortheblue Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Pick up Dani's. Double AR, re-lume, serviced movement, I think that one will last a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Martin Posted May 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 I'd like too but might be a lil out of my price range for now. I'll keep it under consideration for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
