Redbeard88 0 Posted September 13, 2017 I am now ten watches deep and looking for my next high end "nice" rep watch. I noticed this one last night any input good or bad would be appreciated http://www.pf-818.com/ap26574-001-royal-oak-26574-perpetual-calender-ss-ss-white-miyota-9100-calender.html?___SID=U Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RepGuy 108 Posted September 13, 2017 I may be thinking of a different model, but I believe people have said these are still a ways off from being gen-like. If I am wrong, or you don't mind this, I would say go for it. I actually really like the look of these, but am jaded and personally would rather get an Offshore model Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
black263 228 Posted September 13, 2017 Like most such watches, some of the rep complications are faux. In this case, the month and year are manually adjusted. So, it's perpetual, assuming perpetual means 31 days. Apart from that, it's a pretty watch. (Don't know about how close to gen it is, and frankly, don't care. ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Left Coast Guy 24 Posted September 13, 2017 A couple of thoughts: -- Generally, the more complications in a mov't, the more risk of problems. A 28xx or 6497 mov't with no date is basically bulletproof, everything you tack on to it is just something that can break or malfunction. Pretty much the rule for all reps -- complicated = risky -- A perpetual calendar always sounds like a great idea, but they are PAIN IN THE ASS to set. If you've got a collection of 10 watches and you rotate in and out, you'll get sick of setting the date on this thing after like three wears. -- Just from pics on google, this seems pretty far off the gen. The subdials aren't even close to the spacing on the gen. Since its a $50K gen, I'm guessing no one is going to notice....so maybe its nothing to be concerned about, but it seems a far cry from super rep if that's your thing.
