Are there no fans of the LE Alinghi?

Looks like a new AP ROO rep is coming on the horizon...

I've spotted this on King's site:

Compare that to one version of the gen:

Which makes me wonder...if this is for real or what? Could a yacht-timer mod really be had from a 7750?

One interesting tidbit to note is that it isn't constructed in the same fashion as the ROO "Ultimate", but it looks good, nonetheless!

Your thoughts?

I like the old alinghi model the one that didn't have the star trek insignia as sub dial hands.

I was tempted but the strap looks weak (and its not a part that can be easily replaced). Waffle pattern on the rep looks weak as well or we need better pics. I highly doubt any of the chronos work as they should on the gen.

I'd rather have the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Polaris as a rep.

Waaaaaaaay off.

Not much more to add.

They will never make it right because of forged carbon.

That Alinghi is atrocious. Nothing like the real thing. Stick with the seconds@12 Offshore rep because something like this can only disappoint.

The genuine Carbon Alinghi is like nothing else. It's an amazing material and extremely comfortable to wear for such a large watch.
