I've checked many threads and many people says the Highway Montauk is the Best rep of AP.. is it really flawless ? I see the DW still not the perfect....So why that's best rep of AP? Thanks everyone.

it's good, but still not perfect... It has the same tell-tale rep issues of most good ROO's that went before it, but it nailed everything else pretty much perfectly....

- Colouration of gold subdial surround/ring is slightly off
- CB Thickness
- crown/pusher position is off
- rep strap is not up to par - still nice though
- Deployment detail is not as sharp as the gen
- D/window still slightly wrong


In saying that though, there are a couple of AP reps that are as good or better in terms of outright accuracy - the Survivor comes to mind. The MH gets points from those that own it though, because it's a limited run of 100, and the colours really are something else in the flesh - it's different.... Not necessarily because it's flawless....

Oh...Thanks for your answer, No wonder it's always voted as Good REP AP, and hard to imagine the REP also have little quantity stock only..that's funny..

It was a custom run that Toro requested from the maker. 500X100 = $50,000

That's a lot of scratch for a small time guy to front

The small tells aside its crazy nice in the flesh. Side by side with a gen even it's a damn good rep.

These are NOT MY PICS.... Thanks to Zorrolondon on the geek. The gen belongs to him.

This is gen v rep

Oh...That's cool.. the thickness is different between gen and rep.. Do you know how about the RBII? Is it the REP more thick than the GEN?

Case is okay - the CB is thicker....

Not sure about the RB.... Doesn't that have the forged carbon...?

FWIK, thats the biggest tell, but I've not paid it much attention....

The forged carbon of RBII? Do you mean the case back or the bezel?

RB II is titanium. Not sure about the tells besides the mvt seen through the sceleton dial. RB II is a completely different case though

The hardest part repping the Montauk were the blue colours, allthough they are not perfect, they are still close.

To answer your question, it is not the closest AP rep.
