Has the sec@12 improved?

[Jon Martin]

Hi guys I've been drooling over that new AP RB II Sec@ 12 based on the last few threads on it and I really want to order one but my Rubber clad that I bought last year was DOA and after I sent it back I waited weeks to get it back and when I did It died again the same day. I was very disappointed since then. And I don't even wear it. I wouldn't mind buying the new RB II but I'm weary that I might be unlucky again. Ive heard somewhere that the earlier models were slightly different is that so? Or is that just someone blowing smoke?

Also if Anyone is Interested in My HB BB RG Ceramic with Box and papers let me know I'd like to get rid of it for some $$ for the RB II if I decide to go with it.

As far as I know the secs at 12 on AP's are all the same movement. The basic movement is well designed according to folks around here but the principal issue is getting one that is not all gummed up. On this particular movement I think we just have to budget a service into the cost. It reduces the number of watches we can buy but ensures that what we got actually lasts.

Jon-

If you want to sell the HBB you should snap some pics and offer it in the trade section. It is pretty tough to say what you would pay with out pics and description. If you don't like the price you can always pull it.
