rowjay Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 hi im new on this forum and i wanna know if it safe to buy this watch from WatchcollectorHK http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhX5-rl-xJ8&feature=BFa&list=PL1F82633162CD4752 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 I don't know the dealer, but it looks like a pretty tidy eta based rep. Gold will only be plated so isn't going to last forever. Price should be in the $250 to $400 range. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apcollector Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) Dont bother with gold reps dude, the plating will wear away. Use the trusted dealers on here. Edited April 28, 2012 by apcollector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Maybe if you have access to the right gear, but it's not something you'll find just anywhere. It's hard to even ship plating chemicals due to their hazardousness. I never buy gold reps as I've never seen one that really laster long term, although I hear some of the latest ones are getting reasonable.

Watchmeister Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 I stay away from gold reps as well. I have always wanted to try a gold on PVD watch as they are supposed to be more resilient to wear but I have no faith on plating. I have no idea who the dealer you mention is but I can't recommend ordering from a dealer who is not approved on one of the forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgegrasser Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Do not get this model. A Better model should be out by the end of the year, with no minute hand and the AP Logo placed above the 6 marker giving the watch a cleaner look.

I am looking to get another Jumbo SS royal oak in a different dial colour, do you reckon they will release a new model soon? I also noticed there is a new AP range for the royal oak on their official website, would be nice to replicate one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolwatchdude Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 I have an RG Chopard MMGTXL and used to have a Rolex GMTII-C all gold. The plating is pretty durable. But of course the weight is a lot lighter. Never ordered from watchcollector but I'm pretty sure the TDs sell this model. If you decide to buy it, please post pics!
