Samurai Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Added some more pics on page two...including comparison shots Got the watch delivered to me about an hour back. Managed to take some quick crappy pics. My super quick observations.... The watch looks very nice and kinda massive on the wrist. Love the Chrono pushers. The movement is very smooth....everything works. The cyclop seems to be a bit under the rehaut....but not very noticable when wearing it... The watch is lighter than the standard AP ROO....this one is made in Ti...so guess that explains. The ceramic bezel is brushed.....looks uber cool...and so does the window sorta thingie under the bezel (at least won't have to worry about this one chipping/cracking like I do for my rubber clad). Mine is no. 49 or 1000....so I guess they have different serial nos. The leather strap is pretty decent and quite comfortable. Will post some better pics when home tonight.....enjoy this for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z3k0 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Wow !! Nice, congratulations ... if these are your "quick crappy" pics, I can't wait for slow good ones Thanks for pics, despite all the flaws, I still think it's one magnificent rep. If you'll be able, side-by-side pic with regular ROO sec-at-12 would be very appreciated. Also can you check is strap size on lugs same as regular ROO, i.e. will it be possible to use ROO straps on this one ? regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siesta181 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 You are under strict orders to wear this AP for the next SG GTG.... whenever that maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nikos1978 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 the subdial is final white or silver??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nikos1978 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 also the leather of the strap is real leather or fake leather???/?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkirke Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 looks good on the wrist my friend. i like the three different colored hands. very unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalayclass Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I know it's not the gears but it's as if we can see the movement as the plate seems to be decorated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I know it's not the gears but it's as if we can see the movement as the plate seems to be decorated Exactly my thoughts when I looked at the pics....it s not that bad. But the damn price tag is bad.....I have to struggle hard to justify another +500$ rep. Love your pics....and I can second some of the members....comparison shot and a side-by-side wristy would be nice Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toadtorrent Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 That thing is a beast. Can't say I would wear one...but I would love to check one out. It looks to be a top quality rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TmeShare Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Wow, cool watch!! What is the bezel made of? Plastic or coated metal? TimeShare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Just got home guys. Will take some pics after dinner and put them up. The strap is probably not leather but is decent... Much better than the crappy one I saw on IWC BP. Good thing is that wifey said it's looking good on the wrist ... Thank heaven for lil mercies No doubt, a lot of effort has gone into making this rep. The person riding with me in the car park elevator noticed the watch. Said wow nice looking watch... I said thanks... Told him it was an AP... Sigh... He had no frigging clue what the fish is an AP. He did look at watch closely and said impressive looking watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nikos1978 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 also the fake plate is good enough or not? can you wear the watch with that fake plate? under the dial? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalayclass Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Apparently yes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Ok....pics getting uploaded to Photobucket now....have taken some comparison pics of RB and ROO as well. As for the plate under the dial...it has been machined and has swirl marks.....kinda gives an impression of some machinery under the dial....so looks quite good actually. I don't think I will have any reservations wearing this.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
