specialvat Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 I like the fact its being worn and not sat in a safe, that being said I think it needs a trip back to AP for a reseal or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaifender Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 looks disgusting.. who would pay $40,000 for the gen... absolutely horrifying. Looks like they picked it up next to a bucket of paint thinner on the floor of a construction site... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasng Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 That case is pretty worn out, but I think it's pretty sexy in its own right as it's not like 99% of Carbon TAs which are safe queens. Brand new it looks a lot better, when the case gets worn out it starts looking stringy at the edges because of the nature of the forged carbon material. Too bad the cases can't be refinished and they have to completely replaced which costs thousands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Ugh....that baby is used and abused. I would be very scared with a pricy watch like that and the fact it looks like an old G-Shock when worn daily for some months. Strongly believe that the factories can fake the look of forged carbon with titanium, PVD and chemicals.....hope they don´t just use plastic!

mt666tm Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Up close it looks like it was machined from a block of hardened short-strand fiberglass bondo... which is very doable for a rep if you get the color of the fiber and use clear resin. Nice caseback screws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElSenorB Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Looks like it's slowly disintegrating. About 10 years from now it will be skeletonized, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
