Dani that's exactly what I thought.

The black dial RC seems to have flat silver subdials while rep looks like it comes with shiny silver ones.

Here is a gen:

White dialed version seems to be closer but still subdials look a little bit off being a bit too dark:

Rep:

You are correct.

Also on the white dialed same flaw.

But nothing big i think as RL said can depend on lighting but as i see it and all photos i have seen of a watch in the owners hand it has greyish silver subdials and not so dark.

Cheers

does anyone know when the dealer have the rubber strap and adaptor for sale

to transfor my steel to rubber version??????????????

Great looking ROO! With the rubber strap, I may have to give this one another shot... Looks like it conforms to the wrist much better than the bracelet...

Do it, my friend! ;)

Hmm it looks like the date aperture should also be black in white RC....

It is so irritating that they did bother to take care of so many things to make it THAT close but still [censored] up (it is funny ou can swear when you're plat :) ) a thing that should be so easy to do right....

You guys know that I'll post some detailed pics when I get my black dial rubber ROO.

I can't wait! I might have to buy the steel bezel version too.

Hopefully by then, the Big Pilot will be out, too!

i think the white dial rubberclad comes with both black and silver datewheel surrounds. i have seen many pics where it

looks like black and some that look silver. could be a change they made from year to year. on the AP website it shows

a silver background.

Newer model (I think starting with the "F" series) Rubberclads with the in-house movement (3126) have a black date window surround.

I am speculating that the AR on the datewindow also started with the G-series ROOs.

The latest Rubberclads appear to still use the AP caliber 2326, although the 3126 will follow. Maybe towards the end of the G series or perhaps in the H series. I believe the AR coating on the cyclops began sometime in the F series, not G.

The datewheel surround is supposed to be black on the Rubberclad and silver on the White dialed SS bezel. The one you showed above with a silver surround is of a SS bezel piece.

Don't believe me? Search for real pictures of the White Rubberclad, and they all have a black surround.

So either color window works then.

Yes it is, but I have never seen a actual "real piece" in ADs, etc. of one with a white surround. The picture above is of a catalogue picture, which may differ in actual production.

Still waiting for the gen to come back from the service center. Was expecting it to come back 2 weeks ago, but I'm being told it'll be August now. <_<

All I know is that you cannot get a spare rubber for a bracelet model as of now...

A shame really as I thought about getting a black themes and putting it on a rubber strap...

Posted

I ordered a black one with date window fix. It has landed in my country, I should receive it tomorrow... I can't wait and can't help tracking it even if it doesn't change a lot... I will take some pics as I haven't seen a review yet.

Guys

Don't know if anyone has noticed this... The font of the numbers in the subdials for the rubber clad is different from the gen rubber clad.

The gen rubber clad subdial numbers font looks thinner and the numbers look more rounded. This is not so for the rubber clad rep.

The rep's font looks more like the subdial font used in the SS version. Have a look and make a comparison in the pics posted earlier in this thread.

My take, SS is more accurate for now

Posted

Depends on the year production I think. I have just had a look at AP web site and the font is the same as on the reps and it seems also that the date window is silvered on the white dial rubberclad AP ROO... They will drive us crazy...
