tonton2000 Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 Or even a titanium version? How could i forget the titanium one!
thomasng Posted November 9, 2006 Author Report Posted November 9, 2006 PVD EOD would be impossible. Caseback engravings would be different, and the lugs are completely different on that older model. Hope they make 1:1 endlinks I can use on my genuines. I also hope they get the deployment buckle right. Or a very good bracelet. A Rubberclad would be sweet, especially a RG one. I'm guessing these dials: Themes black Themes white Themes blue Themes navy (white with blue numerals) Themes Safari Themes black with silver subdials (only accurate for Rubberclad) Blue dial with dot markers White dial with dot markers Blue dial with arabic numbers non-Themes White dial gold markers for gold version I'm also hoping they make a RG Rubberclad rep, with the dial for it, grey with black subdials like the Sincere Tantalum LE. Hoping they also do LE's like Worth Avenue, ADC, Montenapoleone. Too bad JPM and RBII will be out of reach, being made of Ti and a different case design.
thomasng Posted November 9, 2006 Author Report Posted November 9, 2006 Oooh!! A PVD EOD would be But, I still long for a standard 25860ST chronograph... Randy, I think a 1:1 25860ST would be out of the question. There's a lot of potential problems. The case would definitely not be 1:1, with the thickness of the 7750 and the bracelet would need to be thicker, rendering it inaccurate. The subdial spacing is even closer than a Daytona, and the datewheel would be sunken. Unless, if they copy the F. Piguet movement. (One can always hope)
tonton2000 Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 I think top of the list for me would be a rubber clad, any dial colour. RG Rubber clad would be awesome, only problem would be the weight issue
ratchpot Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 Wah Wah Wee Wah! Hopefully this also means the RO Chrono is back on the agenda...
Guest Sql_pl Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 Looks like this dream is getting closer to reality! I would also love a Safari!
V Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 Now if only they could make my dream watch: and no.. its not the fiddy I mean

dadog13 Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 Now if only they could make my dream watch: after the release of this AP Offshore it will be just matter of time when thel will release the T3 monster....
tonton2000 Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 Is it just me, or is everyone passing the time just staring at the pics sql_pl posted of the gens and dreaming about time machines and flux capacitors that can take you 6 months into the future!? ........maybe its just me
thomasng Posted November 9, 2006 Author Report Posted November 9, 2006 Another reality check: T3 and Titanium Offshore rep doesn't seem likely in the future, as Ti reps seem to be dying out and rare. It would be a [censored] especially to work with it for a Royal Oak case. And, I don't need to stare at those pics. I'm staring at a genuine piece exactly like that (except in Ti) on my wrist today. Can't wait to have the rep, so this one can go back in the bank vault.
JWR Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 (edited) I'm hoping for an Alinghi Polaris dial... is this the right case for it? A safari dial would be nice too, and Worth Ave. with the yellow numerals is also cool... Edited November 9, 2006 by Jonathan
Nebakanezzar Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 Arent we in for big movement woes with seconds at 6?

A safari dial would be nice too, and Worth Ave. with the yellow numerals is also cool... Alinghi Polaris is different. It has a rotating inner bezel, and a case designed for that, as well as a different caseback. Movement is different than the normal Offshore, in the Alinghi Polaris, it is an in-house flyback regatta movement. Safari would be a dream, and they have no lume to screw up on, but what comes into question is how good the band would be, as the OEM hornback strap is almost $600 each!
tonton2000 Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 At the right price, i would get a black dial rubber clad + the safari + the ADC versions. They might even do the Jay-Z LTD Edition BTW - I found this on one of the AP forums Its the weight of the different models The stainless chrono is 166 grams (normal sized royal oak) The titanium Off Shore is 161 grams The stainless Off Shore is 200 grams The 18kt chrono is a big 281 grams Maybe good for future reference

I figured as much with Alinghi Polaris... I don't know if there's another Alinghi model that would work... I agree that the Safari would be incredible. I assume the strap would be crap, have to replace with something from Simona or elsewhere... Personally I really prefer the ROO on a strap, it makes it a lot more under-the-radar...
HauteHippie Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 I'll be down for one... hopefully the cyclops will be decent. If not, we'll fix it. Anyone know if this cyclops is on the exterior or the interior?
HauteHippie Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 he said the movt will be a modded 7750 Huge disappointment.
JWR Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 i've heard that they are rearranging the subdials to fit the 7750, a la the bentley 30 second chrono... not modding it.
Guest Sql_pl Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 Not really. Puretime wrote in an email to me: "the factory owner said if he cannot get the A7750 modified to sub-sconds on 12, the final products will have seconds running at 9. We all hope the modification can be done successfully." So we cannot be sure if it is going to be modified or not yet.
Guest Sql_pl Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 BTW This dial would be also cool

If they could do it to the Daytona, I bet they can do it with this model too. Wait and see.
tonton2000 Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 yeah i too would much prefer a modded 7750, even with the potential problems. They managed it with the daytona and iwc
Guest RiverwindMDS Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 yeah i too would much prefer a modded 7750, even with the potential problems. They managed it with the daytona and iwc I just prefer a modded one too. I can send it to The Zigmeister to make it last the more you can and then If it stops working just change the movement or buy another. But having a watch that anyone can spot is no good, especially with this very accurate case.
CY0811 Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 (edited) I will only buy if it is modified...here in LA I see these quite a bit....and Im not talking about the ones from the garmet district. Edited November 10, 2006 by CY0811
