Montauk Highway on white strap

[daytonaboy]

Finally mounted the white strap .. didn't think I could pull off, but actually really growing on me.

Looking good

For international members wondering what the hell a "Montauk Highway" is .. it's the road that leads to the infamous "Hamptons" on Long Island in New York state.

Very clean look.

Hey, WR -

Indeed, guessing much like yourself, proud to contribute in both worlds. I'd honestly feel blind not being part of the RWG community.

Funny how owning a rep often leads to a gen purchase. I was content w/my gen Rubberclad for 7 yrs, then had an itch for a rep 09 Silver Themes, which lead to a gen 09 Themes, which lead to a gen Montauk and 09 Ti Themes. : )

I currently own more gens than reps but catching up quickly - the replicas are a great platform for me to test drive watches and than buy the gen if I like them - I bought too many gens that I lost interested in in the past and lost money flipping them

One word AWESOME!

Why wont the rep makers rep this amazing watch!?!?!?!?!?!?

[donpedro]

Wow! That white strap looks absolutely amazing with the blue details and white dial!

Fantastic summer piece - thanks for sharing!

Yeah great looks....appears like a time-out at the pool in the Hamptons....have you been to the launch party with London-Jewelers for this MH?

I think it looks way nicer with the white rubber, cheers

A lame iPhone pic on black strap. With the black pushers, the combo actually works.

Very true. I purchased sight unseen, expecting a teal/turquoise as rendered in official promo pics/press.

The true "sky blue" didn't initially appeal, but really grew on me once worn outside. Almost "glows" in the sunlight.

It is a surprise how poorly gen strap plots seem to fit - they look very loose.

But surely a great watch overall!

The tolerances are actually very tight. If you're referring to the "gaps" above each plot, this space allows the strap to pivot further outwards and exhibits no slop/play.

Yes I also think it would be very different in colour then what is shown in your pics.

I almost pulled the trigger on the GP AP carbon as an investment, use for a year or so then sell but I backed out, now I regret due to I think it will be going for a huge extra on the second hand market.

Enjoy it bro, looks damn good on white rubber, I would try it on white hornback whit light blue stitching also

Unless you'd opportunity to pick up a GP @ retail, think you did the right thing. Having witnessed some very tattered daily-worn Team Alinghis, I'm not convinced of forged carbon durability. Unlike SS or Ti, there's no opportunity to refinish.

Hornbacks are fun, but render case cleaning a PITA. Once they're wet, they fall apart. $520 a pop.

I just sent Josh some pics of this one, including the correct case back, etc...

Let's hope the factory makes it, it should not be so hard to replicate.

Keeping my fingers crossed!!

Cheers!

Good idea....did like that last year with the GSTAAD and 6 months later...voila!

There are sooooo many ROO

[Jon Martin]

Looks much better then the brown hornback
