ForzaAP Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 What AP ROO would you all most like to see Rep'd that hasn't been..... I'd have to say the ROO gran prix (RG case with Forged carbon bezel) or The Legacy (Black brushed finish case with RG accents and numerals) What do you guys really want to see......??? -Mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegrizz Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 i would like to see the royal oak offshore 57th street or maybe the scuba 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ammandel Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 This one.. whatever this is! Id love to have this watch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForzaAP Posted September 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 That is the alrnolds all star.... The case is actually completely different than other ROO's so that's why it hasn't been done. The don ramon de la Cruz is the rep they decided to make because it was easier. Both brown alligator with RG case and brown dial. The all star is sexy though.... What do you True AP guys, like me, think of the JARNO TRULLI ROO LMTD ED? Forged carbon case, ceramic bezel with titanium clasp and hardware.....mmmmm AP goodness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Love the Trulli. Awesome watch. Arnold Legacy is in the making...might come out towards the end of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subbiesrock Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 I have to give credit to AP and PANERAI for their marketing strategies. Make an identical watch, then change the band colour and the dial colour in endless permutations. People will go nuts! At least PANERAI makes different movements, whereas all of these APs are exactly the f**king same! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applewush Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 The forged carbon ones, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subbiesrock Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 The forged carbon ones, of course. There's a fascinating thread in the AP section about a guy on RWG who is considering setting up a forged carbon press and tooling required to make these cases. It needs some pretty special equipment but it's not impossible to do, even as a rep. Those forged carbon cases are crazy-cool... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForzaAP Posted September 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Really? That would be amazing, that would bring some of the AP reps to a whole new level. I'd imagine it's alot more complicated than it sounds and probably a big machine to forge carbon into a mold and it be firm and sturdy and not brittle....

gjm1944 Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 I actually saw a 10 minute video on vimeo on how these cases are made. This WAS the link: http://vimeo.com/4255111 Renaud and Papi obviously took issue with this link. I don't mean to oversimplify, but basically the cases are made of chopped strands of carbon fiber that were preimpregnated with polyamide(nylon) resin, not epoxy. Since I saw the video I don't mind sharing what I saw. A steel die was carefully filled with a premeasured(by weight) amount of these chopped fibers. The die was then heated in an oven to melt the resin, taken out, an then pressed to consolidate the case. Maybe not a DIY project but not a difficult process either. I've read elsewhere that it takes 20 minutes to make a case but that there is also a 20% rejection rate. Hope I didn't bore anyone. Here's a link to pictures of the process: http://professionalwatches.com/2009/04/audemars_piguet_-_forged_carbo.html Regards, George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForzaAP Posted September 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 @samurai ...I heard from a very good source that legacy would not be out by end of this year. Nor any confirmation that a rep is being created.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 @samurai ...I heard from a very good source that legacy would not be out by end of this year. Nor any confirmation that a rep is being created.... Hmm....weird.....cause I have it straight from the person who procured the gen sometime in May... and it is already in tatters being replicated. It did cost a bomb to get the gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmj Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 For me, it would be the current model APROOs. I am sure in due time, this will be repped... I hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForzaAP Posted September 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Well i hope so, I was ready to procure the legacy, yes it was going to cost me quite a bit to rep from gen. Ill keep my eyes and ears open, keep us posted when the rep drops! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mm..mm Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 I doubt the Trulli would be as it is made out of forged Carbon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgematic1 Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Edge...any idea if the Trulli rep is under works? No idea... The trulli is extremely hard to replicate.

HR911 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Here's a realistic request from me.... How about the Ginza ROO LE in SS? Can't be that hard can it? http://news.watchprosite.com/?show=forumpost&ti=732538&fi=112&s=0Ta That all black dial looks lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mm..mm Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 How about an updated don Ramon with corrected dial. I would jump on that watch in a heartbeat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
