bosk Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 The ROO and the rep RO chrono are both 42 mm (excluding crown). They are the same size....the oracle strap fits perfectly on both models. The RO chrono is inaccurate in that the rep factory just used a ROO case to make the watch. As stated the gen is only 40 mm.
fotoman Posted August 15, 2008 Report Posted August 15, 2008 just like the new ladies models are incorrect cause they are the same 42mm cases otherwise my mom would like one they are supposed to be 37mm i think thanks for the info on the rubber strap - that was my guess re: the quality - thanks for confirming.

plaifender Posted June 16, 2010 Report Posted June 16, 2010 Hey condemore and Bosk.. thanks for your pics.. after over a year of saying that this would be my first AP.. I've finally bought it! Hopefully no problems with it! Your pictures couldn't have helped influence me more!!!!!! Big shout out from Madrid!
Katerchen Posted June 16, 2010 Report Posted June 16, 2010 Hi Plai! So this was your announced AP rep purchase And yes, i like this model much!! Maybe there will be sometime a more accurate Rep - beautiful piece! Post some pics bro. George
plaifender Posted June 16, 2010 Report Posted June 16, 2010 Hi Plai! So this was your announced AP rep purchase And yes, i like this model much!! Maybe there will be sometime a more accurate Rep - beautiful piece! Post some pics bro. George Sure there will never be a more accurate version of this model. To begin with, this GEN model is a Royal Oak Chrono. To my knowledge there are no accurate Royal Oak chrono models that have been repped, principally because of the subdial spacing and running seconds should be at 6 o'clock. Secondly the genuine Royal Oak chronos have thin Hands and smaller 40mm case. As such, the rep is very wrong with a 42mm case. Basically they've taken the 40mm design of the gen and put it into a 42mm Royal Oak Offshore case. Used Offshore hands and used the traditional 7750 seconds layout with running seconds at 9 o'clock. Having said that, I like the fact that it's bigger than the original, as I like beefy watches. I actually wish the gen was an Offshore and not a Royal Oak Chrono. Despite it being a quasi-fantasy watch, I think it's my favorite AP that I've ever seen. Of course I'll shoot snap some shots of it as soon as it arrives. Mine will also be on bracelet instead of rubber
geestyleed Posted June 16, 2010 Report Posted June 16, 2010 Most beautiful AP out there, but way to many flaws to own (for me)
MADRED7 Posted June 17, 2010 Report Posted June 17, 2010 I like this watch....fantasy model but the dial looks gorgeus! here is mine with a black datewindow, all pushers and crown are screw-down. Never had any problem with the very accurate movement. Cheers Theo
plaifender Posted June 17, 2010 Report Posted June 17, 2010 beautiful watch Madred. I've ordered the black datewheel as well. It appears that the white date wheel version (previously available) is very hard to source now.
OSRep Posted June 17, 2010 Report Posted June 17, 2010 I think it's my favorite AP that I've ever seen. Me too, I love it!!! Pics are a must when you get it Plai......
plaifender Posted August 17, 2010 Report Posted August 17, 2010 jeez.. coming soon.. it should be here in the next few days! i'm excited!
plaifender Posted September 3, 2010 Report Posted September 3, 2010 damn.. mine still hasn't come.. spanish dealer messed up the order... finally got a tracking number though and at least a free box after having to wait almost 3 months! until it arrives I still drool over your pics condemore! Hopefully soon!!! ahhh!
redwatch Posted September 3, 2010 Report Posted September 3, 2010 Looking forward to seeing some pics of this one R! It's one of the only AP's I really like even if it is totally wrong
plaifender Posted September 3, 2010 Report Posted September 3, 2010 Looking forward to seeing some pics of this one R! It's one of the only AP's I really like even if it is totally wrong i feel you on that one!
plaifender Posted September 7, 2010 Report Posted September 7, 2010 (edited) Finally Got it! Subdial at 6 won't center.. but Hopefully once it's serviced it'll be perfect. p.s. anyone else that have this watch know if it's supposed to be push or screw. Mine seems to be push.. but looks like the tube has threads to screw.. since the chrono pushers are screw.. i found it weird that the crown doesn't screw... in any case.. it pushes in all the way and doesn't come out. ... not sure edit: mine is a screw-down crown.. i got it to screw down about an hour ago by accident. Edited September 7, 2010 by plaifender
redwatch Posted September 7, 2010 Report Posted September 7, 2010 Looking good R! Get that bad boy serviced and you got yourself a winner
scottosaurus Posted September 13, 2010 Report Posted September 13, 2010 Dang it, I got drool on my keyboard again. Great watch!
