Mickey Padge Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Puretime just posted a preview of a Royal Oak Offshore Ultimate Grand Prix Carbon watch, with AR on the cyclops http://www.puretimewatch.com/product/royal-oak-offshore-ultimate-grand-prix-carbon-finish-sample-preview/ Interesting looking watch, got to wonder how they made the case, and if they will use the AR'ed cyclops in any other AP watches?

MADRED7 Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 The GP has got same dimensions as other ROO...in fact it will wear smaller due to the dark case color. This is an ok first attempt, still has too many obvious flaws like: No brushed titanium for pusher/crown parts Tachy should be rosegold Color of subdials is too dark .... these are just a few. Hopefully they'll do the gold and platinum version as well....not a friend of forged carbon. Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormTooper4 Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Case: Solid 316F stainless steel case with carbon-like plating Its Metal with a carbon cover , Not sure about that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 The carbon model should be very light, so ss is the wrong way here. Better chances for the platinum version, and I do like the blue dial better anyway. Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m5smg2 Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 http://puretimewatch.com/product/big-bang-king-power-aryton-senna-cf-blackyellow-dial-leather-strap/ Not sure if its the same factory, but there is a full carbon case Hublot released. Doesn't look like the forged carbon finish that AP uses, but I'd take a real carbon case over "carbon finish" SS. You guys think the released version next month will have a real carbon case like the Hublot? Maybe other other forged AP carbon models can be made too down the line? Id take the rose gold version myself.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 We will see the ss version with the PVD coating that should fake the look of forged carbon (FC). I researched myself for a similar way to achive the look and feel....but beside using a plastic case, ss PVD coat was the only option. Anyway, the platinum and gold version are both much easier to do as they only use the crown-guards in FC, the rest is Titanium, Platinum, Gold. .... mmh, so lets wait and see the outcome. IF the factory really took 6 months to develop this watch, I expect they won´t release it half-ready or only 90% accurate Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 I love Ap's but IMHO this one will never get close to there - combination of case material and clear caseback. Unfortunately as AP rolls out additional Offshores with clear casebacks this party is over. I have never been comfortable sporting a watch where you live in fear that someone asks you to take it off your wrist to try it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MADRED7 Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 I don't care too much about accuracy inside....but I would rather get a decend New ROO (or Legacy) than this carbon fake. BTW...this is FAKED CARBON not FORGED CARBON Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dario33 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Yeah, not a fan of the "fake" carbon version this seems to be. Let's see if/when we'll see the platinum version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
