tobico Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Sharing my new toy from China, I had many rep watch but most of them failed after 1 year. I'm now focusing on Quartz and hope they can last longer... I already had 2 high end AP ROO, this is the new one I just got... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Frankly, for a quartz, this does not look bad at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tobico Posted October 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Can the experts share with me the difference between this Quartz version and the Swiss version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Can the experts share with me the difference between this Quartz version and the Swiss version? There is no swiss version of this watch, don't be fooled. The best you can buy is the A7750 sec@12 movement, also called the "ultimate" version I'm no expert, but from what I know, the differences can be simplified as such: a. Quartz: battery powered movement, "ultimate" version: A7750 sec@12 movement, an automatic self-winding movement b. Differences in dial layout between the two, like subdial placements, datewheel position, datewheel font, etc. The ultimate version is more accurate and better finished usually.. c. Reliability: Ironically, the quartz movement has a better reliability than the A7750 sec@12 version, but there are ways to improve the reliability of the sec@12 movement. Read up on it. d. The general overall quality of the ultimate version is better in terms of case, dial, pushers, straps etc.. but the quartz ROO has a thinner case that is actually more accurate when compared with gen e. Finally, a difference of about $400-500 between the two versions depending on actual model of ROO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobico Posted October 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Legend, thank you so much for the detail explaination I understand the difference in the movement, but can you tell me more about the case and dial, as they seem very close to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UmpaHimself Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) That's a damn beast! Not trying to threadcrap but since we're talking about quartz APs... here is mine. One heck of a watch, quartz or not. Sapphire crystal on this too!

For detailed visual comparisons, I have not done that.. you can easily compare your watch against pics of the A7750 sec@12 survivor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
