theslavetrainer 0 Posted June 11, 2014 A GENERAL GUIDE TO WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN AN AP SS Band: A bad band made of 304 ss and supplied by the link listed-Aliexpress. $70 A quality band made of 316 ss and supplied by a TD. $130 Aftermarket Bands do not fit Rep AP ROO watches.. Trusted Dealer supplied bands are made to fit Rep AP ROO watches. These bands are often made with 304 ss, not 316. A cheaper grade. TD bands are made of 316 ss for your watch- which is also made of 316 ss. Aftermarket is often marked or has imperfections but with a TD Band quality is assured. A TD Band will be supplied with your watch or as an after sale purchase. When out of stock these bands can be found through M2M sales, and no seller should sell these bands above the TD price- $130 US. To do so is profiteering. A shortage of supply has led to many sales above this price. These bands have been fetching $200 US.on M2M, sellers giving no guarantees.............. New Stock of TD Bands is expected within 2 months. I personally have been approached by pm with members offering "new" bands in excess of $200. Two members have been banned as a direct result- wwika & shirotenshi. They now both operate on other Rep forums ..........When you place a Wanted ad in the M2M section, and get approached please report the matter , should a seller exceed the above price. Hope this information Helps Regards TST. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theslavetrainer 0 Posted June 12, 2014 thanks for posting. good info to know so can tell which one is the cheaper one when mounted by the big gap it leaves? are there any other versions? It is a definate "Tell" when there is a gap, a different shade of metal, or for that mater the cheap price- By "Tell" meaning that you are not only wearing a rep, but that it also has a cheap band. The big gap is obvious- and cannot be modded to make a better fit. There are also great problems with the fitment to the divers, and various version thereof.......
