panghk Posted June 15, 2007 Report Posted June 15, 2007 After reading all the threads about the AP ROO, got up in morning, pick up my visa( pass), drove my Nissan G35straight from Hong Kong island towards the border of Hong Kong - 35 minutes. Got the train, arrived Law Wo - 5 minutes. Passing the custom smoothly, went to the Rep watch shop by feet - 10 minutes. Finally got this beauty, wore it on wrist and back home. I am lucky - as I can get the rep in person, no need to wait for shipping I am unlucky - as the seller in Rep watch shop treated the rep watch like [censored] - she scratched the bracelet during length adjustment. By the way, do you know is the links joined together by pin, or "screw"? - as the "screws - looking thing" cannot be driven out by screw driver. enjoy scan
ubiquitous Posted June 15, 2007 Report Posted June 15, 2007 Very nice! Must be especially nice to be able to buy a new watch in person whenever the mood strikes Enjoy your new beauty!

Ramiel Posted June 16, 2007 Report Posted June 16, 2007 Hi, Would you mind to tell us how much did you pay buying it directly? You know, there is this big discussion about cartel, etc... This would help us in future deals with ours current dealers. Thanks, Iuri
Jumbie Posted June 16, 2007 Report Posted June 16, 2007 I am lucky - as I can get the rep in person, no need to wait for shipping That's pretty cool. You are lucky. Enjoy your new watch and all the others you have the opportunity to buy.

This would help us in future deals with ours current dealers. Thanks, Iuri I paid HK dollar $2200 for this one, about US $280. the other beneit is that I can check the watch before pay. But I risk myself during passing the custom from china to Hong Kong - despite the risk is very low. Hope I will not offense anyone.
malumouse Posted June 17, 2007 Report Posted June 17, 2007 Is this the swiss or Asain version...280 US..WOW good price...we should buy from you...lol
MADRED7 Posted June 17, 2007 Report Posted June 17, 2007 wow, never saw this kind of model.....has got the MBW subdial-appearance but the odd date....new lens OK...never saw this MBW-MBK-Asian combi before.....wear it well
Ramiel Posted June 17, 2007 Report Posted June 17, 2007 Thank you man for the price information. I beleive it will help us all. You are an inteligent buyer and have a very good taste.
panghk Posted June 17, 2007 Author Report Posted June 17, 2007 Is this the swiss or Asain version...280 US..WOW good price...we should buy from you...lol It should be the asian movement, as the movement runs not so well - the chrono second runs with a bit jerky... But they will fix it if I brought it back to them.
panghk Posted June 17, 2007 Author Report Posted June 17, 2007 Is this the swiss or Asain version...280 US..WOW good price...we should buy from you...lol Sorry, I am not a dealer. I was once a Gen collector, with quite number of good pieces - HBB, APROO, daytone, submariner TT, Pam 194, Pam 187, Pam 190.... But, now begin by Rep collector's life, and I may buy all them back. Just get back all the satisfaction with the reps....
