atomic_doug Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Looks like many of our prayers have been answered. It's awfully expensive, but I am seriously tempted to buy now rather than wait for the inevitable V2. http://puretime.co/product/pre-order-royal-oak-offshore-diver-forged-carbon-11-best-edition-on-rubber-strap-a2824/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtanak Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 How do u put a price on carbon coating? Compare this price to the other carbon coated APs? Also, this appears to be different method of carbon coating.. Accrding to Angus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atomic_doug Posted April 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 I don't think this is a coating, it does look like compression-molded plastic. (Whether or not it's actual carbon fiber reinforced plastic is another thing entirely, but it certainly looking good.) It may well be worth it, but anything over 500 is always steep for me for a rep. (I'm new to the AP rep game, though. In Panerai-ville, things are usually much cheaper. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSTEEL Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 It's solid Carbon Fibre case. That would justify the price point then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 my advice is to check for stock and confirm availability before ordering. The store's priority would be to collect order now, and refund the unfortunates later. It happened to me before, so I am just cautioning everyone to prevent it from happening again. Nice watch, yes. Guarantee in delivery? No sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mt666tm Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 I've got the gun loaded and my finger on the trigger... but I'm gonna try to put the safety on until V2 or 3 is released... Amazing rep though and I can't wait to see QC pics from those getting in on the pre-order! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Wow! I am not familiar enough with the gen to know what the needed corrections are but this one looks really great. I wonder if there will be a V2 or V3? Do we think this one is from the standard AP factory or somewhere else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CptTripps Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 I had it in my shopping cart 2-3 times today and couldn't go through with it. I do want an AP though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lfovco Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 It actually looks really good already, I imagine the v1 will be as good as v3 of the current SS diver. I compared it to the gen and the differences are super tiny. Once addressed as mentions on the site this will be as good as v3 already. I'm so getting this one.

cougar1 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 If it's anything like the kuvarsit prototype then it will be sold out for months. Looks damn good, would've preferred the orange dlc model to the yellow but open case unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rek001 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 To me the carbon fiber pattern looks like woodgrain or damascus knife effect. The gen carbon fiber pattern is more random, looks like compressed flakes, does anyone agree? And it looks a bit plasticky to me. Anyway, cool looking watch, but I think I'd prefer DLC case.

cougar1 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Yep they didn't really nail the CF pattern, it'll be interesting to see the finished product, they say it will be better looking CF effect on final effort ...Looking forward to the reviews. Also, my mistake the orange model is ceramic and not dlc, looks great. No rep unfortunately! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what someone stated on RWI, they won't actually be changing anything on these watches for production, so the carbon effect that you see in the pics is what you will get.
