Comments on my new Rose Gold AP

Hi,

I'd like to share some pictures on my new AP dual time power reserve.

Recently bought and was very pleased. The rotor fell of but it was a quick fix for a local watch smith.

Does anyone know what movement it has?

I'd like to hear everyone's comments.

How long would a watch and movement like this be expected to last?

In case anyone is wondering it cost 1,050 Saudi Riyal which is approximately £175 or $280.

Comments please!

Thanks

Tom

I bought it from a market in Dubai.

Everything works as it should, even the power reserve.

Going to wear it on special occasions only I think. I am worried about the gold plate wearing thin too, although I was told it would not.

Had several comments on it already and only worn in out a couple of times. 

I will check the logo on the face to see if it high or not.

the RG if it fades and the edges starting to turn black, what can be done to fix this?

You can get a local jeweller to replate it. 

But having said that, I had a few rose gold reps and they have never faded on me. :)

most of the Rose gold trhati have seen are pretty well plated. I have am AP RG Diverand a RG ROO and both are  still lookng like brand new. I wear the Diver pretty frequently, the ROO Chrono less frequently. If you take care of it, i would expect that you could expect get a pretty long life from it.

Thanks for the comments guys. I will let you know how it is in 4-5 months time.

 

I have a small problem with it though, after the rotor fell of and the watch smith screwed it back on the rotor is very slightly tighter than it was before, it still rotates freely but not freely enough to allow it to self wind any more.

Any ideas why this might be?

No idea about the rotor, I just wanted to comment on the S/S one in the link above. Although I like the gold, I really like the S/S.

Also for comparison purposes, here are a couple of photos of the genuine. From the looks of the photos, the AP is very high on the gen as well. The gens have  a closed caseback as well.
