modificata Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Not sure on the Cartier. I'm more of an AP man but it's all about personal choice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archierocks Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 i wouldn't get the tourbillion its a really badly finished movement in the flesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 No more customized gold casing Richard Mille reps or reps from websites showing pics of gens? That's good. Taste wise I wouldn't touch the Cartier and 15400 tourbillon with a ten foot pole Sent from Mars using tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormTooper4 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 If the one for play involves cross dressing then I suppose the Cartier appropriate . Royal Oaks are funny watches to wear. I had a WM9 version and it never felt comfortable on my wrist . Have you tried one ? because $700 on one is an expensive test run . and the gen is like $135K Epic $$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyjynx Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) To me, nothing screams "FAKE!" louder than diamond-encrusted men's watches, but if that floats your boat, I'd say "Go for it". Unless you know someone who can fix rep tourbillon (I don't know any in all the forums) you're looking at a potentially very expensive paperweight.

I think I'll pass on that then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm doing some research and the tourbillon is kinda scaring me away now haha. I think I'll pass on the Cartier also. I really dig the forged carbon ap though. I know for sure I'll end up with that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, I think I'll stick to an offshore instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same piece myself and its just a stellar wrist companion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like it might be kinda overpowering to a certain extent because of it's size. I still really like it though. Gonna place my order for it this week.

Hahaha don't worry I'm done searching for unicorn city. I was browsing through the forum today and saw you're selling a strap that you were going to put on your Doha ROO. Do you have any wrist shots of the Doha? What do you think of it? I was thinking about buying one of those. Are you selling yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was browsing through the forum today and saw you're selling a strap that you were going to put on your Doha ROO. Do you have any wrist shots of the Doha? What do you think of it? I was thinking about buying one of those. Are you selling yours? Doha.. Well its a rather lovely looking ROO, with the distinction as being one of the very few with a sunburst, non tapisserie dial, best described as being dark silver in color. I love the combination of that dial with red and white hands, and raised shiny steel markers. It is a beautiful watch, but quite flawed in terms of the "5" spacing from the 6 0'clock subdial edge, the "10" and "11" spacing, the "8" cut off point, and the huge ass AP logo. I wore it for a while. Flaws aside, it is a beautiful watch by its own, if you do not consider its accuracy in details vs the gen. I have sold the watch to a friend locally a few weeks back. I would recommend you not to buy the watch if accuracy to gen matters to you. The 2014 42mm models are much better choices. Alternatively, I would recommend the Schumacher for consideration, though I am expecting a next iteration, otherwise known as the V2, to be released. I could not help you with unicorn hunting, but where ROOs are concerned, perhaps I could offer some humble help to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the look of the Doha though so I'm willing to look past the inaccuracies. I'll likely end up with one of those at some point soon. Not a huge fan of the Schumi just yet. I'll wait and see if a V2 comes out and maybe I'll scoop one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
