Dani Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 On Josh site. Remeber his photos are crap. Cheers
arrowax Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 thanks for the heads up Dani.. very interesting news.... just looked at his site...he is making a Sachin Tendulkar and Rhone-Fusterie . interesting... Most importantly, the RB2 is out folks..the one all we've been waiting for. altough I don't know WTF AP is thinking making limited editions for absolutely everything...idiots...they just want to milk as much money as they can..
Toadtorrent Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 altough I don't know WTF AP is thinking making limited editions for absolutely everything...idiots...they just want to milk as much money as they can.. If they sell...and the brand image remains high...who are the idiots? The marketing department who probably initiated the new designs...or the people who buy them?
arrowax Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 (edited) Can't blame the marketting department for sure. If the demand is there, why not make it? I just think that if they have a special edition of everything they will dilute the uniqueness of owning a special edition AP. On luxury bazaar alone, there are 46 variations of AP ROO limited editions, If I am not mistaken, And IMO that is too much. But since we are talking reps...I say that is a good thing...because there are so many variations, a bit of flaw here and there will make it less noticeable, because you will almost never meet a person that own the model, and even if you do, they probably will not be familiar with the other 45 models (unless an AP manager) Edited March 6, 2009 by arrowax
Dani Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Posted March 6, 2009 Most importantly, the RB2 is out folks..the one all we've been waiting for. No sec at 12 RB2 is out. Cheers
MADRED7 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 Thats a very good result....the factory took the time to dig into details: - the Sachin dial is really nice....different to other ROO
arrowax Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 you could put the link... here you go mate.. http://www.jpc8118.com/
Watchmeister Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 I walked into the local AP store and they seemed to have a couple of new date only models with red/pinkish inner bezel. Could be the new Scuba/Boutiquefor the NY. In any case, I have never understood why they didn't make a good rep of the scuba models since it gets rid of the whole crown st below the pushers issue which will always be the instant tell for an afficionado. In any case, hope springs eternal.
rkdk Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 looks like im gonna have to spend more money rb here i come:-)
jfreeman420 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 I realy like the white dial with blue accents but the question is are any of these dials really accurate? I know the RB2 isn't even close.
arrowax Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 I realy like the white dial with blue accents but the question is are any of these dials really accurate? I know the RB2 isn't even close. Really? I thought the RB2 ceramic on the sec@9 is quite close. No?
Dani Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Posted March 7, 2009 Really? I thought the RB2 ceramic on the sec@9 is quite close. No? No not really. Needs some work.
rkdk Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 Weird. seems hes taken the rb2 of the site again. Wonder whats going on.
Logan Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 The bezel bolts on the RB2's were awful.. maybe a prototype he wasn't supposed to show yet? I sure hope they improve that before sale.. and please please make the case from Titanium
goodfella0406 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 So what is the final assessment of the Sachin? Has anyone purchased this model? I am aware the strap needs to be replaced but the dial is beautiful. I like it to complement my SS Navy. But the question remains...... Accurate? I can't find a pick on Luxury Bizarre, anyway seen any Gen pics for comparison...
goodfella0406 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Posted April 28, 2009 Thats a very good result....the factory took the time to dig into details: - the Sachin dial is really nice....different to other ROO
ecsm Posted April 28, 2009 Report Posted April 28, 2009 I am looking to pick up the Sachin, I found your post helpful...Question, the flaws in the number 000/500 and the BASE and not TACHYMETER. Are these major in your opinion? I cant seem to locate some GEN pics to do my own research... I have the Navy but feel this is a nice compliment to it.. what are your feelings on the leather strap? (I buy from Josh) I've bought the Sachin and I've posted pics within the AP Sub form. The 000/500 flaw isn't a big deal cause it's gonna be on your wrist most of the time and most ppl aren't gonna pick up the flaw unless they're really into APs. The gen says TACHYMETER and not BASE on the Sachin. It's supposed to be BASE on the RHONE F. I initially thought the blue "horn back" strap was going to be a disaster but so far I'm happy with it. I might get a tripe stitched strap made at some point... I've seen pics of the gen and the dial is pretty close. The big draw for me was the blue on the dial, it's pretty uniquie and different from Navy.

I am happy to hear the Hornback isnt a disaster.. I too will eventually replace after I get it...

Getting a replacement strap that's up to par will prob cost half the price of the watch! Edited April 29, 2009 by ecsm
