rckh Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Dear Friends: Long wait had ended! My AP RB2 finished its' servicing & arrived today. Overall; it's one of the best rep I ever have. Simple comment as below: Case : Ti case is much lighter than Stainless steel. Brush are even & high quality, no sharp edge in every single corner Bezel : Ceramic Brushed on surface & high polished on side which give a lot of contrast. It keep shining when you move your wrist. Crown : Big crown let you adjust your watch easily. However; the gasket on tube have me feel strange when I tighten the crown.....First time when I screw in the crown; almost make me thought the thread had already stripped..:mad: Dial: Day mag a little bit too right compare with gen. I guess it's one of the flaw of this rep. Leather Strap : Quality is over my expectation. High quality & extremely soft. Try it first before you really going to order a expensive one from APband.... Deployant Buckle : Ti also; same construction as all SS @12sec. However; it's not luck for me as usual due to my skinny wrist 6"...Therefore I swap it to the Tang buckle from APband. It's Stainless Steel; but brushed into a dark colour & match the Ti colour. Case back : All engravement is clear & accurate. My RB2 is 0066/1000, How about yours? Movement : I request watchsmith to overhaul service & regulate my movement under +/- 4sec/per day. Until now; it keep very accurate according to my computer's clock. tomorrow; I'll know whether it fullfill my requirment or not. Running sec@12 smooth like silk; no jumpy or jerky. Also, Chronograph running smooth & rest at dead zero. Overall; I'm very happy with my RB2. It's so long time I haven't got a rep which make me feel it's so beautiful, Luxury & an expensive watch feeling. I heard many members complain about the failure of @12sec movement. According to The Zigmeister; it's a stable & sucessful modified A7750 like @3sec before. Time will tell how it really work; from now on it'll stay on my wrist or sleep in my winder. Let's hope it'll keep running & error feel! @Puretime Angus : Thx so much for QC my watch!!! Photos Time! *** Please Don't mind the day is not center; it's almost 23:00 so the day wheel start its' move...*** best Regards, Raymond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fotoman Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 i thought that watch was totally ridiculous, then i saw your photos now i'm impressed, and want one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExtraExtra Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 That is definitely nice. It looks awesome! A blue version - dial and strap just came out and that is just as good. Forking the $$ for this is tough price is almost the price of eta7753 reps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samurai Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Very nice. I have this both in Ti and RG. The Ti version has the serial no. 0563/1000 (which I think is more believable...as my first one, that I sold, had the serial no. 0063). This is indeed a very well replicated watch.

plaifender Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Watch looks great.. Not sure it's my style.. mabye a bit too... futuristic??

Fluffy Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 I might be lost, but I don't think it said what movement was in it? Could you comment, and if it's ETA have you had it verified? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
