edgematic1 Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Guys, The updated Rose Gold Rubberclad is available now from Angus. It has gotten the 2012 updates. 1 thing they have forgotten is to add lume in between the A and the P. On the caseback the gold engravings are a bit too big.

MJC Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Looks good but.... I mean, it's a mish mash between the old and new style RG Rubber Clad?! New version with the rose gold surrounds doesn't have a grey dial now, nor a black date wheel... Not exactly accurate :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Old version is the better, more accurate version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgematic1 Posted October 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 It's more accurate, less flaws on the old version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahaaditya92 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Edge, how is this new version less accurate? What are the obvious flaws? Spoke to Toro he said the chrono pushers come rounded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you read my post?? The new update version of the rose gold rubber clad doesn't have a grey dial number one, so even if it was an update on the old version , the older doesn't have the rose gold rings around the sub dials, black date wheel either...

shahaaditya92 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Sorry MCJ, was slightly confused by your earlier post, hence the clarification. But I thought the gen new version had a grey dial, but a darker gray compared to the version before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey no prob, i've seen the genuine in person as i'm often at the boutique and it's a black dial now! :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the amount of detail they are putting into it now, why not make it right? I just don't understand, never will... Anyway here is a pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't understand, never will... Anyway here is a pic Its definitely a beautiful piece. For reps, mistakes and inaccuracies in details are part of the game, I think. This "updated" version at Puretime is pointless, IMO. It merely trades one inaccuracy for another. The pushers on all AP ROO models can come rounded these days anyway, irregardless of model. You simply need to request for it to be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legend1 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 I just wish the rep makers would pick their game up and get it right!!!!!!!! Constant let downs......AHH well, if only the disposable income for a gen........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Well, if you are unhappy with the inaccuracies you can man-up and buy the gen for $40k or pick-up a last generation gen dial available on the bay for $2k and build a franken for $5k. Personally I do think it is a big improvement. The last dial was so wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I do think it is a big improvement. The last dial was so wrong. I was at Westime in Beverly Hills a few weeks ago. They had one Rosegold Rubberclad (original one with white date) with a price tag of $55k. They have gone up in price and have reached collector status pricing recently. The older rep is very very close to OEM compared to the genuine watch in person. They had one rosegold GP that was sold earlier that day for a princely sum of $72k. The buyer paid ca$h! The watch was in the store for less than a day before selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I do think it is a big improvement. The last dial was so wrong. How was the last grey dial so wrong?!? I actually would love a genuine example, however I chose the forged carbon instead BTW guy's, I think there was a change in the dials... This new one is a grey/tobacco'ish color now in person.. The first one I saw that AP got was a black, and in that pic too, however they seemed to have changed the production dials or something!
