Chiquita Fanjita 1,694 Posted September 7, 2017 Just seen that the new style AP ROC's have been released by JF factory, and have correct sub-dials unlike the older style which got me slightly aroused However, there are a few glaring flaws with a few of the models, mainly the bezel screws are too big like the previous BP & TF 15400's, which is surprising since this is from the JF factory and they nailed this on the 15400. However, the main flaw that would stop me from buying this beauty is they've got the datewheel colour completely wrong again Bezel screws I could probably live with, but the datewheel would just bug me. Looks like I'll have to wait for the v2 well in this colour combo at least. Rep v Gen for comparison. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StuH 0 Posted September 7, 2017 I just don't understand how they get things like that so wrong. Is it not obvious to them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Del 4,381 Posted September 7, 2017 The datewheel error is pathetic for such a high-end, high-cost rep. This is meant to be a replica of the genuine article but they can't even get a simple thing like the colour of the datewheel correct. Total flop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Montyb82 0 Posted September 7, 2017 Lol I was looking the pic on the right thinking it was the replica, I was thinking you were all picky fuckers looked great to me! Then realised the actual rep. Was on the left lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They've got so much right on this model as well. It's not just this colour combo that has the wrong colour datewheel. Seems to be only the black and white dial versions that have the correct datewheel. Obviously brown, blue and grey datewheels are hard to come by Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ohhh now there is always that option I suppose.

I'm not sure where one would purchase something like that. I was mostly seeing if any other members could chime in with a source for one, as I haven't seen many date wheels in this color.
