Legend Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 http://www.puretime.co/product/royal-oak-offshore-ultimate-edition-don-ramon-de-la-cruz-on-brown-leather-strap-a7750/ Guys, this one is updated with "correct date wheel base color", AR and rounded pushers. Is it any more accurate than the previous model? I have always wanted this, but somehow has not gotten to purchase it yet. Any comments would be well appreciated, thank you.
theflyingdutchman Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 Upgraded and still some mistakes e.g.white AP logo on dial....
MADRED7 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Posted October 30, 2012 The updates are those from all the other ROO´s on Angus´ site (as named above). But this watch looks killer and was on my wish list for long, the only GOLD ROO I am willing to purchase (not sure if I would wear a gold watch anyway). Only downside beside the high price: you need to get a new strap for this watch ... same story as with the SAFARI. I will think about it and need to sell pieces from my collection to fund this.

kes_ Posted October 30, 2012 Report Posted October 30, 2012 Is this based off of the V3 case? I read in another thread that a "v4" is due soon, so I might wait for a round of updates to hit all the models.
MADRED7 Posted November 5, 2012 Report Posted November 5, 2012 Due to the movement used, we cannot expect a thinner case/caseback anyway! I would get this one! Dr. Theo

MADRED7 Posted November 5, 2012 Report Posted November 5, 2012 My last post said "would" get this one. I am about to order the new RO 15400 from Angus and need to source some more cash to get a gold DRDLC Dr. Theo
eunomians Posted November 9, 2012 Report Posted November 9, 2012 Hello gents, I'm thinking of picking this one up during my gold fever spell. I have a spare AP Bands black Hornback that I'd like to fit to the watch. Wish I could find a photo somewhere online of this watch with a black Hornback.

wilazn Posted November 9, 2012 Report Posted November 9, 2012 Is this based off of the V3 case? I read in another thread that a "v4" is due soon, so I might wait for a round of updates to hit all the models. The v3 case you speak of is for the AP Diver. As far as I know that case was built from the ground up since it has a rotating inner bezel while the regular AP ROO sec @ 12 does not have the rotating bezel.

Would love to pick this up as my first gold watch, but I'm not looking forward to dropping another $300 on a strap for it lol. Will total close to $1000
MADRED7 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Posted November 9, 2012 I will need to have a look in my stfrap box and through some AP ROO straps on the market to fund the Don Ramon. Dr. Theo
edgematic1 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Posted November 9, 2012 T, let me know which ones you want to part with
Watchmeister Posted November 9, 2012 Report Posted November 9, 2012 That is the same problem I have. Would love to pick this up as my first gold watch, but I'm not looking forward to dropping another $300 on a strap for it lol. Will total close to $1000 You may not like the price but the gen is $50+ thousand so 2% of gen for a gorgeous rep. The SS are closer to 5% of gen. Like my thinking? I can rationalize anything.
sardonix Posted November 9, 2012 Report Posted November 9, 2012 Lovely watch, got minetoday from Toro
tanya Posted November 10, 2012 Report Posted November 10, 2012 I ordered the new rosé gold rubberclad but angus's staff sent me qc for the don Ramon by mistake was actually tempted to go with it instead but I am already afraid of scratching the plating especially the bezel Looks pretty though
MADRED7 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Posted November 11, 2012 If you get tired of her, let me know, I will take it. Dr. Theo Lovely watch, got minetoday from Toro

torobravo Posted November 12, 2012 Report Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) Upgraded means new pushers and better color on the dial (the old one is chocolate color and the new one is grey-ish) Edited November 12, 2012 by torobravo
Watchmeister Posted November 12, 2012 Report Posted November 12, 2012 I just ordered a Don Ramon! Can't wait!!! D- You are quite the baller. Swinging around $100k in Gold AP's. I love your Gran Prix in the other thread.
greekgod Posted November 13, 2012 Report Posted November 13, 2012 Guys someone said that the AP logo is a problem. But I see that the gen also has the logo in white. Am I missing something? Any major flaws on this version Sent from my GT-I9305 using Tapatalk 2

Any major flaws on this version Your eyes are playing tricks on ya ... the logo is deffo in gold on the gen but appears white in some pics due to the angle and different lightning. Dr. Theo
greekgod Posted November 13, 2012 Report Posted November 13, 2012 Lol really?? So what the hell have they updated if they can't get a colour right. Sent from my GT-I9305 using Tapatalk 2
