Which AP should I buy?


Recommended Posts

Hey, I am going to buy my first replica.

all my watches are Gen and I've decided to give replica a try.

though Im having a hard time choosing the one to start with.

which one do you guys think is the nicest -

and I'm not sure if I should think of this one (since its not real Rose gold and Im scared it will wear off and you'll be able to tell its a replica, would love to hear what you think about that as well) -

Hi and welcome. My personal fav would be the Safari but the Montauk looks great too. Imho the AP Diver V5.1 or V6 in SS has even more "gen-like-feel" than the APRO 15400. The best 15400 version is the one with the Myota in SS (3 screws in the center of the rotor/ caseback).

 

For rosegold the plating is quite resistant but again talking about the Chrono here http://www.torobravos2014.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=18_50&product_id=699, even members who have the gen say it´s fantastic and the only difference is weight, saw some awesome pics of that one.

 

Good choices:)

Hi, the AP Diver is a fantastic feeling and looking watch. The actual best version V6 is here http://www.torobravo...&product_id=699, Most members order an extra hornback strap from one of the forum strapmakers (Donerix and others) for it as they are not too satisfied with the straps those come with (except the rubber or SS).

My favorite AP's are the Diver, FC Diver, Chronopassion, and my 44MM FC on GEN GP Strap...that one is just so damn sexy. Oh and of course the 44MM SS Chrono (Panda) is a killer as well. 

 

Yeah and you know whats on its way too you Bro !

He asked for which AP to buy, not which APs you own. :D

 

 

LOL Mr A, just giving him options my Bro :)

not sure about that one, but it's really nice.

Here is the Rose Gold Diver, it's a fantasy model, as none of the divers have open case backs, also the only genuine gold diver has a gold bezel, not the ceramic like this one. It's a really comfortable watch, has great wrist presence, and mine gets a lot of wear. Gold plating is very durable, and shouldn't be a problem if you don't abuse it, or polish it vigorously with abrasive polishes.

Here's mine.

It's clear to me in the lume that the triangle marker at 12 isn't TDC this would drive me insane. Fine details like font you wouldn't notice but symmetry is important to me. Am I being pedantic?

 

Hell No :pimp:
