eunomians Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) Hey gents, which AP Bands strap is closest to the OEM strap color? the doctored up photoshop pics of the watch make it look chocolate brown, but looking at real life pics, it seems more dark brown. I really can't tell, and my local Audemars Piguet dealer obviously does not have this watch in stock to compare (there is a lonely original version white date rubberclad rosegold for $52k). I've got a spare black hornback that I'll try with the watch, but I would like a brown one like the OEM version. I would get it with black stitching. Your thoughts? Thanks! PS. @A: an 8 for you? I've got an 8 albeit a different Bavarian monster Edited November 14, 2012 by Eunomians Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MADRED7 Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 The darker bown should work fine ... when I order my Don Ramon, I will put this dark brown hornback on it ... only need to dye or re-stitch the thread to gold or black or grey.

eunomians Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) I think they both would look great. Thanks. I'm soliciting opinions as to which shade is like the OEM strap. I'm still stuck on the fence about this. @A, actually this one is not an air-cooled machine. It's a BMW 8 Alpina-tuned Wow, watches and not just one but two cars alike in a way! My brother!

Motoman4540 Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) I got mine last week and it is gorgeous! The rep strap is not even that bad, although I think that an expensive watch needs a step up in band too . . . Quick question: Is the Don Ramon supposed to be lumed? Mine has none at all . . .

Eiderdaus Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 (edited) 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 The Logo is gold my question would be if anyone could color this to gold, and could it be that the logo it self is wrong ?

Legend Posted April 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 The gen seems to have two versions, one with a "printed" white and one with a "raised" gold one. Both are correct. I do not know which comes first but I have seen pictures of both versions. They do exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andcaneron Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 I love this watch and it will probably be my big Christmas gift to me this year. Does anyone know how well the plating on the deployant clasp holds up? I haven´t had a gold plated watch for a few years now, but on my last one the clasp plating quickly wore down and I hated that. It was a dead give away. After I only got steel watches. Now I want the AP gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
