AP Caseback - 2014 Watches

[51NGH]

Hey Guys

I'm holding off buying a bunch of APs (Lebron James, MS and 2014 exhibition cases) in the hope they improve movement so it looks like the real thing (especially on the 2014 models).

Am I hoping for too much? Is it possible?

I guess you are talking about movement decoration for movements which are visible via see-through case backs.

The first AP movement decoration, excluding rotor, has already been done for the ceramic diver (cal 3120 lookalike), and I would not be surprised if similar enhancements be done for other AP models.

As with most things in this hobby, you either need patience or abundant resources to achieve or wait for what you desire.

 

To answer your question, I do not think you are "hoping for too much" per se, but you have to decide if its worth waiting for an upgrade that is not visible when you wear the watch.

yeah, also hoping 2015 will bring more APs with movement decorations.

There is a pretty lengthy discussion over on RepGeek about the "Clone" movements, there are some photos of the decorated AP movements that are basically from what I could see and read, an A2824 with bridges and dengraving added. Possibly what you are needing to find out is in that thread. Here is a link, hope this helps. http://www.repgeek.com/showthread.php?t=242564

Just what I was looking for. Thanks!
