Got my Forged Carbon 44mm AP ROO in this week - PICS !!

Recommended Posts

I know there was a lot of negative feeling about the price of this one and yes it's pushing the boundaries of what one would want to pay for a rep and especially one with " that " movement but i'm a sucker for the forged carbon thing & after trying on a gen in London and falling for it a bit ..... i sent Ryan a PM in ( another ) moment of weakness and ordered one.

 

I have to say that it's a pretty amazing rep and they have excelled themselves with this one ....... it's really crisp everywhere, the forged carbon has been finished properly so it pops like the gen and it's super comfortable and wears really nicely for a big watch. The only real negative on mine is that the second hand is pretty jerky at times ( but then i always factor in the possibility that one of these might have to go to Domi at some point anyway ) Apart from that it's running well and keeping good time for now.

 

If you are ok with the price then you're getting a very nice replica of a very special piece ( in my opinion anyway )

 

Anyway onto a few pics :

That looks stunning Jez. I love the look of the forged carbon and hope they bring out a bumble bee version.

 

Wear it well. :)

I really like that. That FC case is so cool. Wish it were cheaper but it looks like you got what you paid for. Good for you on taking the plunge on this one. Nobody likes a coward.

Can you please be kind enough to take a video of the second hand movement? I am thinking to buy this as a gift for my brother, massive hand.. should be suitable.
