AllergyDoc 40 Posted April 12, 2010 The thing I like, about the AP quartz models is, they don't have that stupid 24-hour subdial. I've been tempted by one of these myself. You take a loss on resale, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KBH 7 Posted April 12, 2010 Don't know much about AP's but it looks pretty nice. It says the same as 7750 model but it looks a lot different than the 7750 case on Josh's site. Different pushers and mineral glass rather than sapphire for a couple of items. I got a cheap quartz AP years ago and my wife acquired it from my watch box. She loves it. Like your avatar though.

greg_r 81 Posted April 12, 2010 I had a cheapo quartz ROO that I bought from Lawrence. It was an excellent watch - I should have kept it. The one you picture looks reasonable, although it certainly doesn't look like the 7750 case to me (WE's descriptions can be rather iffy - one of the reasons they're not a recommended dealer here).

macscac 0 Posted April 12, 2010 (edited) sorry... whos lawrence? i want to get this from a legit dealer... this is silvers.. the dials on his are different at 6 and 9 than the quartz.. http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum...amp;#entry79099 it stinks.. if i knew id love the watch on my wrist, id just spend the money the 500. but i may hate it :/ Edited April 12, 2010 by macscac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted April 12, 2010 Lawrence is House Of Souvenirs. He's a long-established dealer - one of the good guys. You'll find his subforum HERE: http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum...hp?showforum=77 and his website here: http://www.houseofsouvenirs.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
houndoggie 58 Posted April 12, 2010 I got my AP ROO quartz (sold it long ago). I was very pleased with it. Sturdy watch. Looked great... (It even had stealth lume!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg_r 81 Posted April 13, 2010 If you'll check Lawrence's website as I suggested, you should find several quartz ROOs on leather.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
macscac 0 Posted April 13, 2010 perhaps ive had a bit too much to drink tonite.. i see 2 pages in the "asian" section but they appear to be either bracelets or rubber Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted April 13, 2010 perhaps ive had a bit too much to drink tonite.. i see 2 pages in the "asian" section but they appear to be either bracelets or rubber Nope there's a few on leather straps in there too... http://www.houseofsouvenirs.com/audemarspi...spiguet_018.htm as a sample... There were quite a few more on there last time I looked - but maybe he's changed his listing recently, sorry... Timesshop might be worth a look too. If you can't find the version you want, however, it might be worth dropping an email to Mary at WatchInternational and ask her what's available - she might be able to supply you the leather strap as an extra...
