kronos twin Posted April 30, 2009 Report Posted April 30, 2009 That might sound barbaric and stupid, but I'm asking anyway...
Watchmeister Posted April 30, 2009 Report Posted April 30, 2009 Yes. In fact a number of their new models (NYC Boutique among others) are that made. I have always wondered why no one has done a good replication. You lose all the offset pusher/crown issues.

I think part of the thing that bothers me about AP ROO models (with the exception for RBII) is the large numbers. The subtle markers on the RBII are much nicer. On a non-chrono, this could be a really nice aesthetic.

fotoman Posted May 1, 2009 Report Posted May 1, 2009 there are a bunch of models they don't make without chrono, like the breitling Bently square models i guess most people figure they are springing for that one expensive fake, might as well go for he chrono. also, why would they make the 40 mm zenith open and not the 45. Its the same setup same dial just a little bigger i don't get the factories sometimes.
ecsm Posted May 1, 2009 Report Posted May 1, 2009 I guess I'm one of the odd ones. I'd spring for a good AP RO scuba anytime cause it gets rid of all the flaws in the sec@12. I've seen the lume on the gen blue scuba and it's insane!!
arrowax Posted May 1, 2009 Report Posted May 1, 2009 Josh just released the AP RO perpetual. no chrono...don't know how accurate this is to gen though http://www.jpc8118.com/0023a-p-6037.html http://www.jpc8118.com/0023-p-6036.html
fotoman Posted May 1, 2009 Report Posted May 1, 2009 Pretty ugly if you ask me... MM looks like a 100$ POS if you ask me
