Pseudonym 0 Posted January 23, 2014 Looking the dogs dangly's Andman! One small observation... Blue screws. Earlier pics had indicated non coloured screws. Easy fix if you have the know how. The part # are posted on here and are available from cousinsUK Wear'em well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ANDMAN.ELLIPSIS 0 Posted January 23, 2014 Thank you Pseudonym.... I'll live with the screws for a bit and then send to Domi to do his stuff... WP, AR jewel mod, screws.. Very impressed so far....and both of these Noobs are at the same price levels as existing top end rep AP's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James. 4 Posted January 23, 2014 FC will now not be available till after CNY FC I think is the one to have.....but the SS and RG look amazing so far.. My QC pics for RG an SS... THESE HAVE ALREADY BOTH BEEN APPROVED Hey Andman, you're likely not aware but members aren't allowed to post QC pics on RWG. Considering it's a brand new rep and everyone wants to see it, there may be an exception but you may want to PM whichever mod is online to clarrify. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ANDMAN.ELLIPSIS 0 Posted January 23, 2014 Hi James...... Thanks , was aware... but thought, as you say new model ,first pics and stated that the QC's were already approved it was ok. I will PM mod Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr-z 0 Posted January 24, 2014 here is gen to compare the tapisserie .. .. why did noob but use the same as deep tapisserie like on there ss version !! and the media blasting on the pusher on all version .. should have used more coarse blast like all the gens !! i hope they address both issues .. on later versions !!

ANDMAN.ELLIPSIS 0 Posted January 24, 2014 lovely close up of the Gen.. no doubt that sorta stuff will get addressed as soon as the 'money go round' needs a little spin again The blasting on the pusher on the QC shots is a little blurred..... be interesting in a week or so to see the reality...

Pseudonym 0 Posted January 24, 2014 One thing I did notice... Z Fac (J12,V3... Whatever they are called) have installed the movement with SS screws in the FC version. Referencing the Noob editions. They still have blue... Not sure why this has become such a thing for me? I was always leaning to the FC more than the others... Rotor colour seems more like gen also. Andman... When are you likely to receive your SS & RG? Would be interested to see what AR is like. Likely I'll pluck for FC once available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andman... When are you likely to receive your SS & RG? Would be interested to see what AR is like. Likely I'll pluck for FC once available. The rotor bearing on the J12 Channel fac FC is a whole lot better.. and no blue screws.... The FC is in my opinion the one to go for... not only as being closest to gen, but it will be so much more comfortable to wear.... The 44 even on a big wrist... the pushers can dig in a bit during the course of a day.. this doesn't happen as much with the FC being so light.. it's quite a discreet watch even though it's 44.. it doesn't scream..... If you want something with a little more presence the SS could tick the box... My SS and RG are in transit and if they get out of China before CNY I could have them in 7 days I guess... I'm anticipating single AR minimum on all three The FC I don't reckon i'll get till late Feb early March.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pseudonym 0 Posted January 24, 2014 I'm a lefty so wear my watch on my right wrist so no problem with pushers.. 44 isn't an issue either, I've got a couple of 48's that fit well. Cheers for the ad-hoc info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ANDMAN.ELLIPSIS 0 Posted January 25, 2014 Being LH sorts that one out... thought I should mention it... know two people who own SS, both complain about the pushers.. I'm RH and have a 48 Hublot oceanographic rep... it's more akin to wearing a large diving weight...but could care less about a bit of discomfort.. I love the watch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dumspiro 0 Posted January 28, 2014 Ch-Check It Out When this addiction finishes there will be one mother of an M2M sales posting. In the meantime though! 44mm on a 7.5" wrist. These are top quality ROOs in my humble opinion. Movement on these two is great so far & both watches were running as they came out of the box. Crowns are a nice ceramic. Date & time set; smooth. Maybe its early days but I have many ROOs (far too many) and have only had one watch with wobbly seconds hand. None have stopped working so far but I do rotate through these and others regularly. Chronos are both fine. (Black dial running in pics) Both reset to zero correctly. Double AR on the black dial looks like the first mod requirement... Straps and buckles comfortable; v similar (if not identical) to the Diver. Caseback is the main criticism I guess as the movement doesn't deserve viewing. No problem really as I tend to keep my watches on my wrist or in the box. Lastly and a little surprisingly very comfortable and not as heavy as I thought it would be.

mr.pizza 0 Posted January 30, 2014 800$ for a watch with the irreparable flaw ... the open caseback i think it's a lil exagerated. Otherwise this is a super hot watch. But is it only me that i see the tachyring is not proper aligned on almost every rep that i saw till now ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dumspiro 0 Posted January 30, 2014 These were both under $600... I have also seen a few on the RG where the tachy ring is misaligned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LondonBB 0 Posted February 1, 2014 Having only recently become a bit of an AP fan I admit I'm tempted by the DLC and FC versions. I have to say I do find all this comment about how much to pay for a rep a bit odd. Personally I'm not buying the watch because it has an AP logo on it, I'm buying it because I'm not keen on paying multi-thousands for the gen version, which I view as being both overpriced and a waste of money, but I am interested in the possibility of buying a similarly styled watch for a fraction of the price. In other words when I buy I'm not buying a "rep" but paying for a watch to use (because that is indeed what it is, at the end of the day) for a given amount of money which I view as a fair exchange. The reason I don't buy Stainharts or any others is quite simply because I don't like them, the designs don't appeal. If the quality of the high end reps such as AP were poor it would be different, but they're not - they are very well made indeed, easily as good as most of the lower end, similarly priced brands.
