AP lady RO 33mm Quartz - First purchase, need advice please

[worldwidemich]

Hello everyone. I'm new here and have been surfing this page for some time now. I'm looking to purchase my first rep. Id love the AP Royal oak 33mm (I'm a woman). Ive read that JF factory v3 is the best way to go, I'm just wondering if anyone has personally bought this exact watch and has one particular seller to recommend? Id like it with a black dial because the blues look iffy to me and to my knowledge there were some problems with the Blue's. Im in between these sellers: Intime, puretime, and Tim (watchfinder) i think? Also, has anyone seen any significant quality differences between the ETA, Miyota, And Ronda movements?

Thank you!

I bought one for my wife. She loves it. I got her the one with the diamond bezel...I know that sounds tacky but the quality is excellent and the fit and finish is spot on. I heard it was out of stock .... might pick up a spare one in case the first one breaks beyond repair.

I’l take some pictures in the morning if that helps.

As for what TD...you can use any. They all have good and bad points (and everyone has their personal favourite) but they are all trusted.

Thank you for replying! I would definitely go for one with stones I just don't want it to look cheap-ish. Where did you get hers from?

I've been considering one of those APs for a while and remember read somewhere the "diamonds" were quite good and looked almost like gen. Can you confirm that? Looking forward to the pics, those will be greatly appreciated (maybe if you can make one close to a 41mm RO as well).

I saw sead1999rg Posted one for sale (the 33mm quartz with black dial/ and stones). The stones were very pretty and seemed super illuminated I'm guessing due to lighting. I just don't want them to dull out eventually and have the watch look iffy.

I got one for my wife. A ronda quartz, RG, black dial. No stones. She absolutely loves how slick it is. And wears it on special occasions. She's got her PP NAUTILUS SS quartz other times.

Perfect. I'm totally set on this watch. Now I just need to decide which TD to go through. Who exactly did you use for this purchase?

The stones look great. Nothing cheap about them. They will not dull over time.


Here’s a quick iPhone video of her watch:

I don’t know how the video quality comes out via the YouTube link.


If you’re in the UK, just buy the black dial version that sead has in stock. If you don’t, I probably will (as a spare for the wife).

I’m actually in the US and bought one from intime so the one he posted is all yours. Thanks for the video!

Hi! Did you have the chance to buy the watch? I am looking for one too.. I've asked Andrew and Lucy but they said it is out of stock and not in production. Can you please share whom did you get from? Many thanks!

I heard back from Ryan? I think. I bought it from intime. He told me it was in stock by email. Funds haven’t been taken from my cc yet though does it usually take a little to process?

All the TD's are good in my opinion - I personally like ryan!

Thank you! Makes me feel better lol. How long does his shipping usually take? I’m in the US and he only uses dhl so I’m a little concerned.

Thank you for the professionally shot video, not out of focus at all and with beautiful background music. ;-P
