Royal Oak Reserve/Duo Time Auto


Recommended Posts

I saw that the "Royal Oak Reserve/Duo Time SS/SS White Asian 23 Auto" is the newest AP out right now which came to market late February and I was wondering if any one knew how this version is?

Is the "

Asian Automatic Movement, 23J, Functional Power Reserve, Working 2 Time Zone, Decorated Rotor" a good movement?

I always thought that the sec@12 had the best movement but I am not sure. I am impressed that the 23J has a functional reserve.

here is it --------------> http://website.informer.com/visit?domain=yourtrustytime.com

great.. I was wondering why they have models with that movement for sale for about half the price of any watch with a working chrono? If I were to guess I would say you were making a riskier purchase buying a $500+ watch with a chrono and a movement that might crap out at any time.

The "working chrono" watches use the 7750 movement ... a whole nother (expensive) animal to this Asia 23j ..

I'm pretty sure nearly nobody on this forum owns this watch. At that price though, I say you should buy it, do a review, and if you dont like it, sell it! It kinda surprises me that there actually is a gen version of that watch, pic below

The rep actually looks fairly accurate. The only things i could spot immediately were the red day-night indicator hand is only partially painted on the rep and the texture of the dial is a little different (the AP logo starts in the middle of a square on the gen and doesn't on the rep)
