paneraiguy Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Hi Guys, I suppose you hear this question alot, and I'm sorry for repeating this if you have heard this before. I am looking for an AP Rose Gold Rubberclad, now Ive had a couple of Rolex reps in the past and all never lasted more than 6 months and there where always big faults wih these. So Ive saved up, over the past year and ready to pull the trigger on The AP Rose Gold Rubberclad, my question is "Where do I buy one, where if I spend $600USD I am going to get a good watch" one where it wont need a service and looks great, and as real as it can look. Is there one or 2 buyers that you recommend as well as which model would be the closest to real? I do really like the AP Rose Gold Rubberclad for sale in this forum but am unsure about this? Your advice is very much appreciated, please pm me if you have any suggestions. Thanks a million from Australia!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbaddds Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Buy mine! it's already serviced. LOL Just needs AR and lume! Buying from the dealers, unfortunately you'll never be guaranteed one that will last more than 6 months. In the past I have had 6 AP with sec@ 12 and 2 died on me so it was hit or miss. Regardless of whom you purchase it from I would always recommend a service for the sec@12 movements as this will ensure the movement will last and won't be a paperweight in a few months time.

wheaton26 Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 it's a beauty! the only thing that made me sell mine was the fact that it was a $30,000 gen. i ended up stepping down to a $10,000 version with the rubberclad. lol. see below a few pics of my fully modded rg from king. fyi, it's a very accurate rep and i hate to admit it... but i miss mine. good luck!

Dani Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 You can buy mine, but my experience whit the sec at 12 they can go on you at any time..So if you really need something that can hold and dont have lots of cash around up I would look away from the sec at 12 models. You are more then welcome to buy mine fully modded at only 800$, but their is no guaranty on the movement except from the person that serviced it both mine are working great now, but who knows in 2-3months. Cheers and good luck on your hunt. Dani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Martin Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Once the movement dies can't you just send it to get serviced to get it working again? Or is it just done for good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyc2 Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 I'm also seriously thinking about buying a Rose Gold Rubberclad. Can anybody tell me if there was ever a gen made with the black dial? Every Rubberclad Rose Gold that I have seen has the grey dial. I can't even find a black dial on the AP website. (If I'm going to buy a rep, it may as well be a rep of something that exists in the gen world!) Many thanks Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usctrojans11 Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 No a rose gold black dial has NEVER been made. All the dealers have sold out of the RG ROO Rubber months ago, only available as resale from members now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usctrojans11 Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 LOL who told you this? LOL how about the person who owns one of the factories and knows the owners of the others? I'd think they'd know. Considering I'm one of their top clients I really doubt they'd lie to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you're talking about the updated face and not black or light gray. If so which dealers have it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
