Manitou Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 Maybe you all know this, and I'm just a slow-mo-hobo, but check http://www.kingwatches.net/ And see the rubber clad in all its glory :-D
anton Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 ...and now I'm just waiting for the early adopters to unload their SS ones...
Dani Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 nice find mate, thanks for sharing. seems they have put a ss braclet on the rubber clad Dani
Manitou Posted June 30, 2008 Author Report Posted June 30, 2008 nice find mate, thanks for sharing. seems they have put a ss braclet on the rubber clad Dani Yeah I guess they will release the rubber strap for some xtra $$$ :-)
anton Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 The page seems to be a bit misleading... The title is: "AUDEMARS PIGUET- 124-PVD" But we all know it's the rubberclad version and the bezel looks like rubber too...but is this the high-quality dust-repellent kind, or just some standard rep rubber? The pictures seem to be a little confusing. At least to me it is. Picture in question:

promotersf Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 Put the proper rubberclad strap on that and I'll bite...hope they come out with the rose gold too(and i'm not a gold kinda guy). I'm assuming the screws for the rubber bezel are SS, but the photo makes it look black...probably from the lighting.
anton Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 The screws are SS...but when I saw PVD on the page, I natually assumed the bezel was PVD. But instead, looking at the pictures, it is definitely rubber. But like I said, it would be a disappointment if it were the kind of rubber that attracts dust.
Samurai Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 I somehow like the look of the steel version much more than this rubber duckie. Now if a RG model were to be released....well....yum yum....bubble gum.....i would be all over it.
slai Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 After my experience with a Cartier "rubber" bezel which turned out to be plastic, I think I'll hold off on this.
italiano17771 Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 what a bummer. i would have thought they would have the rubber strap as well. hopefully that will be here soon as well.
fido Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 you can have the rubber strap from angus (deploymet included) for just 40 usd http://www.puretimewatch.com/index.php?productID=2 i got one fron him and the strap is really good, similar in feel to the IWC CD 06 i got regards what a bummer. i would have thought they would have the rubber strap as well. hopefully that will be here soon as well.
Guest Sql_pl Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 But it does not come with adapters - does it?
Chronus Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 But it does not come with adapters - does it? No, it doesn't, so go buy an Oracle straps strap for the adapters or get Eurotimez's MBW hornback with adapters.
Samurai Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 Heard from Josh....the spare rubber strap will be available in about 2 months time. Guess it's SS till then. Am inclined to go for the Steel bezel one....if required...can buy a rubber bezel later on. Am not really sure about the quality of the rubber on this.
fido Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 no, but you can have them from paso RWI 15 usd he source mine those are MBK adapters so finish is quite well regards But it does not come with adapters - does it?
Samurai Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 Agree with you on this Dani.....plus am still coming to terms with the concept of using a piece of rubber costing $10 for bezel on a rep of a watch costing $20K.
Chronus Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 The rubber bezel looks very plastic to me. It's PVD
jot9011 Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 The screws are SS...but when I saw PVD on the page, I natually assumed the bezel was PVD. But instead, looking at the pictures, it is definitely rubber. But like I said, it would be a disappointment if it were the kind of rubber that attracts dust. A little confusing...??? What makes you think its rubber and not PVD like listed. Has anyone contacted King on this?

Watchmeister Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 My holy grail is still the AP Boutique Scuba. No pusher issues.
dadog13 Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 My holy grail is still the AP Boutique Scuba. No pusher issues. I agree about that...there are 3 dial versions...blue, orange and red...blue is my fav... when I spoke to Angus a couple of months ago he said he would ask the factories to do it but apparently they decided not to go for it since the gen was high priced...but now, If they bought gen AP ROO's for replicating...then they could invest as well in the Scuba LE...
