Is The “Frosted Gold” AP Look A Good Rep?

Recommended Posts

MysticalCamo

Does anyone own a frosted gold AP rep? I’ve been looking into the AP watches and saw the frosted gold style which looked pretty cool but couldn’t find anything about the comparison of the rep vs gen frosted gold. I’d hate to get a frosted gold AP and have the “frosted gold” look be a dead give away because of how bad the frosted gold quality is. So if you guys know anything about the rep frosted gold look please tell me if it’s worth or if I should just go with a regular AP in stainless steel or whatever thanks. Also a reference to the frosted gold watch I was looking at https://puretime05.com/royal-oak-frosted-gold-37mm-15454-ss-jhf-best-edition-silver-dial-on-ss-bracelet-a3120.html.

I've been wondering the same thing myself. I'm tempted to get one, and if I do i'll come back and let you know. But hopefully you get some feedback sooner than that.

I have seen a member at RWI wearing it on some wristie shots.

The finish of the rg model looked good to me, if you can wear smaller sizes I'd go for it.

41mm Blue on 'frosted' steel

Gen is, of course, frosted 18ct white gold, rep has to endure steel (but it makes the 'frosting' more robust :giggle:)

14 Page thread discussing Frosted Gold

I quite like it in the 15450 size. 41mm of bling would be dangerous in London...

:rofl: Sounds like RWG version of Trump's "Grab 'em by the pussy" quote.

It’s a £35k watch, buy it if you like it, the give away on high end value watches that are reps is the wearer generally.

How bizarre

 

I recall richest man I ever met berating a mutual friend "whats wrong with you? umming and arring over £100K ! Kids on bikes on street corners got a £100K"

 

Most people Ive met with serious gen watches  (hyper bling and major money) have all been top tier crooks :giggle:

Had one of those beauties last year.

First I was pretty sceptic about how the watch would be done, considering that it wasn't an expensive one (a2813 decorated to AP calibre a3120). Ordered it to see how it looks in real life.

I must say I was pretty inpressed by the frosted execution quality.

You want my modest opinion?: AP frosted gold SS are worth the money you pay to TD to get a decent AP frosted gold replica, which gen cost 20k and more. 

But I can't tell you about frosted gold RG version.  I' ve tried to order it 2x in the last months, but it was out of stock. Hm, I've just got an idea for my next order ;-)

Here is my video of SS version:

I think he's referring to 'hanging' them on the tree like decorations or baubles ?
