bigtommy79 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djunky Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 wow looks amazing Wear it well... Is it from one of the TD's in here? -DJ- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
508-Fanatic Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 The logo looks high on the face - as does the date - likely a symptom of the movement? Do any of the features work or are they fixed in place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceocorona Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 If you bought it from a TD the movement would have been stated. If you took it to a reputable watch smith he would have been able to confirm that. I am sure the movement will outlast the gold plate on the watch.

bigtommy79 Posted February 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 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.

martijnp Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 I think it's a 21J movement mate. I had the same in SS: http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/169844-audemars-piguet-royal-oak-dual-time/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Wear it sparingly the gold will wear and if it's a 21j should putt along nicely. OH by the way do not like gold but this one pretty nice , wear in good health. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinokun Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 the RG if it fades and the edges starting to turn black, what can be done to fix this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shhs0173 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Why do replicas have blue screws inside the case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theflyingdutchman Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 With daily wear, max 4-6 months and the gold will wear off at the braclet first! Nice watch even if the gen has a cloased case back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly404 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Nice watch.... Gold plating is always a worry though.. It's thin on most reps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtommy79 Posted February 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
