fido Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 too bad is the same old chinese case ( the backcase is too thick ) not so well finished and bracelet too thick also, i wonder if mbk can source the movement and make is own version with correct running seconds, that would be the real ultimate ROO the white dial with grey subdial looks really good for a rubber clad (just need the correct rubber bezel) just my 0,000000000000001 cents cheerrs to all who already order, best regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slai Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Probably a good idea to anonymise that link... we dont want AP pulling a Hublot ! (note i have putt xx to replace the tt in the above link - copy and paste into your browser) Unless you paste it into a new browser window, the referral logs will still show RWG.

yellomen Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 As soon as I receive my black dial, I'll work on a write-up to compare it to the genuine, and do a complete side-by-side. (Although the genuine one is in Ti) A side by side comparisson... that would be great Thomas!!! i think the gen comes in titanium AND in steel. Look at the Kronos Club website... both exist as i understand it and it also seems both have exactly the same specifications including the same dial. Only the material of the case/bracelet is different as i understand it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Why do King's pictures show the new ROO with correct date background in black while A/J are white and incorrect? Wouldn't they have came from the same factory? They are from the same maker... but different photograhers lighting etc. .. ergo some pics have had the saturation depleted therefore silver will look white.. I never go solely by the collectors pics.. I thought we learned this from past history .. ie. ChopardXXL ..Rolex GMTII .. I don't think a conclusion can be based on Pics nothing definative anyway.. I'll wait until I recieve the actual replication.. Contempt PRIOR to Investigation.. is what ???....... has anyone "bothered" to find the facts behind the pricing change ?? 2 words... "Clerical Error" in pricing .. why would King shoot herself in the foot ... and loose on this investment ??.. members think someone is forcing the price higher ?? sheesh .. after I see APROO's selling for a lot more with all but totally incorrect dials .. not flawed dials but sub second @9 .. no one blinked at the price... now we have a far superior dial configuration .. but not a given that it is 100% (yet) .. and it's not good enough.. and the total dial has been judged on pics that are not the best ? .. for myself I do believe it will look better than the factory pics...

Off board dealer sells this ROO for 495$+ free shipping but i now you are Josh follower hens your "facts behinde pricing change" They are presing the prices up and away.

I see you have come to brilliant conclusions, without the actual item in hand.. .. so if this "off board dealer" has such a good price then "put your money where your MOUTH (or in this instance fingers are)" .. talk is cheap and unless you are "willing" to do something about it as "proof" then all you are doing is blowing smoke.. you come across with a "LOT" of hot air and I for one cannot grasp or understand the odor you are blowing... Seems as if you won't stop calling people out so let's see some "action" on your part !! you post that you "find" this and that "good deals" BTW... from dealers no one heard of; but are you willing to stick your neck out and pull the trigger or are you waiting for someone else to do it with your great "finds" You "accuse" me of being a "follower" .. yet I think I have stood by "my" decisions with action and posted the replications without "advertising" my collector or collectors.. have you ?? or is this just another example of your "crying", because you don't want to or cannot purchase it and are trying to influence others to do the same ?? I cannot remember ever seeing any of these "great deals" that you happen to Google on your wrist or any kind of write up or anything that resembles factual posts ! "little boy" why don't you take your narcissistic thoughts of yourself and your view of the world with your eloquent verbs and try and do something useful for a change like keeping your petty asinine "so called" thoughts in perspective.. You are not contemplating purchasing anything ... I can stand by my decisions!.. but it would seem that your post cry out that you are always a "victim" of circumstance !! So I would like to see something that resembles action.. Put up or SHUT UP !!.. all these lower price reps you find let's see your expertise in action FOR ONCE just ONE TIME ..Because speaking just for myself I am totally tired of your petty A S S name calling and diatribes that hold no validity or truth.. like your sales .. all Bull Excrement !!!

Mickey Padge Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Dani you are well out of line, also this off board dealer you are speaking of does not sell the AP for $495, he sells it at the same price as our trusted on site dealers do. See for yourself: http://www.dhgate.com/p_ff8080811aa658da01...447f4529c8.html Seems it is listed at $565 to me.... Or should I delete that link too? I see many things I don't like about your posts Dani, I have to question what you are doing here? You certainly add nothing to this forum as far as I am concerned, you just like taking cheap shots at other forum members... You did it to me here too: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=76486 Sorry for the off topic post people, but I don't like what I am reading here, there is no call for it.....

Jawo Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Andrew and Kings watch samples are the same according to Andrew. This is a quote from him in an e-mail : "We used the same sample item for shoot. Same maker same watch. Apologies I can't view as I am outside now. Thanks warmest regards ANDREW" I think there is only one factory doing these AP's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Yep, there is only one secs@12 AP, just the pictures differ due to lighting etc....

lanikai Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Lani, easy tiger Admin, better put a leash on this one, surely this is a breach of the forum rules It's cool ajoe.. think I'll be excused from this thread.. i just am really tired of this member constantly calling members out using derogatory names and thinking he is above the law .. and can do whatever he pleases.. for no positive effects on the board... I do not back collectors that I purchase reps from for obvious reasons.. But I do believe in due process and facts and not conjuecture before anything can be reviewed or facts proven.. when one tries to influence out of "personal" concerns then that is not even good business.. there are many members (myself for one) that are excited about the APROO release.. why crap all over it ?? Just for the sake of it... I take issue with sales that charge 10,000 points over the cost of the product, and say that it was because of PM's if it were free common !!..if it were for a fund raising for the forum I would buy it myself.. but for personal gain.. NO.. and then turn around and accuse me and others of untrue lies ... there are members who sell reps modded at what they put into it .. nothing wrong with that at ALL .. full disclosure.. but taking advantage of members without knowledge is not right.. and who is this.. the Newcomer ... alway's the newcomer is at a loss in these situations.. and then cry from the hill top.. scammer ..of others !! nuff said .. I apologize to the forum for this portion of what is is a great thread.. but I stand by my principles.. it is what it is... Lani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcomers? buy my springbars sorry nope veteran members did also i bought them for atleast 12-15$ from river so if you call it a scam to sell after postage fees for 20$ then ok be my guest i atleast saw it as a favor to europen members, i feel sorry for you to get so hung up on such a dumb matter... i only sold 3 pairs to members the rest about 6 pairs i gave away later on..Cant you prvide this for 10cents?? i will buy 100 of you come on back up what you say big guy.
