Tbh i bought it to pass it to a buddy otherwise i wouldnt have

Received it today, the dw is nice, the cyclops i’m not too sure but we must give credit as they are a combo miles better than anything else stock ootb

Strap is utter crap i dont know how you guys could say it’s better than others.

straps used to be very plasticy with poor grain. this one actually smells like leather. an issue I have with some of the custom straps is fittment. while I see some nice horns and grain I also see big gaps where the strap meets the watch.

real ap straps I just can't justify the price.

looks fine. the difference in color can be very subtle or stark depending on the lighting. you can see in your first pic they are darker.

This is no different. Any vietnamese real croc strap costing 50USD is better than this.
If you say otherwise then you have NEVER tried anything different or you have been given something different than what i got

As for the extra 40USD charged by puretime they told me to suck thumb since it's not them it's the processor.


"we didn't charge you more. I am sorry that this overcharge happened to you. This happens because the payment processor we use to process credit card orders actually only accepts money in our local currency, CNY(RMB). We have our prices set in $/USD on our website because that is a currency that everyone knows. So what happens is that there is a currency conversion from your local currency into our currency, this sometimes results in an excess charge when there are exchange rate fluctuations (money does not go to us)."

So please put that in consideration when purchasing it via creditcard which the ONLY option you have to pay other than bitcoin

They charged me 25 EUR more. I didnt even complain, as its useless.
Beside that they charged me twice in the first place, as their CreditCard-Processor need several attemts to get it thru, tells you, that i didnt work but in fact charged you already. I was refunded for the 2nd payment.

For the Stap: It´s not high Quality, but it´s better then what u usually get, so there is improvement. Not enough, but moving in the right direction :)

Anyway very nice of them tho change the plots right away.

Mine has the same issue, but I will swap out for Jacob or Hamilton strap anyway so no biggy. Rep strap is better than normal but still poor so you may wish to consider the same

puretime It would be nice if Mr JF teamed up with TF to bring us the AP Concept with a real working Tourbillon.

Thoughts? How about you setup a dinner between the two? I’ll buy the steaks, you pay for the wine!! Haha

The quartz rep is not that bad that’s already made and in the watch market, all we need is to spice up the quality by Mr JF and then add TFs Tourbillon movement and we have the most magnificent AP rep ever made! $200.00 deposits and I bet everyone will sign up.

I assume that is a gen, I can''t find one that looks like that amongst my usual hunting grounds. And the ceramic looks true AP dense white. I like the stealth shaped case casting.
