I noticed this was posted in 2012. Is there any updates with the new JF models? for better or for worse?

Thanks so much for detailed reviews like this. When I first got into the rep game, the AP Panda 42 mm was my dream watch. Still love the overall look to this day. However, I couldn't get over the position of the date window issue, so I never pulled the trigger on one. Kind of kills all the APs for me. And I really like all the Schumi s too. But then again, the date window issue. But since I always wanted an AP, I finally went with the AP SS novelty 44 mm, as the dial design kind of hides the date window flaw better than the 42 mm.

Imho, The date wheel looks only significantly close to the tachy when compared to the gen. I think it must be my lack of experience but looking at individual Rep watches sometimes, I need to question myself if thats a rep dw positioning.

This solidified my desire for an older style AP ROO 42mm! Just gotta figure out which one...
