Audemars Piguet Roo BumbleBee by J12/ V3FC Diver Factory Sometime 2014

[guru]

It will loose right? And if i want it more tight what should i do. Can I Pierce more hole on the strap?

you can buy a oem short strap, putting extra holes in would look like shit and the clasp will sit not in the middle anymore

sorry for that question. I didn't read it carefully and I saw font number 5 from noob which it looks similar as j12. But now I see others number like 4 and i get it.

That mean date wheel from j12 BB don't similar as gen right? I have never seen gen date wheel from AP ROO BB before.

And thank again Ketjap Manis

Its not that easy. The gen has two different DW's. The old style, like the noob, and the new style DW like the J12.

i like the noob more. Because the number 1 is always wrong at the j12 DW


Both pic's are gens

This pic is gen from google and the font looks like j12 (number 15) Number 1 looks not wrong with this version that i see

This pic is j12 rep from google (guru posted in another forum)

That mean j12 date wheel is similar as gen (new version) right?

Regarding the different fonds there are some rumors availabe
1) the first release always come with a different fonds, when the production starts up, they change to the old fond.
2) AP uses different suppliers for parts, you have the same problem on gen APs were they use brushed or polished hands.
for example, I have seen Safaris using brushed hands and polished hands, both were gen
Another example is the Schumacher AP, first releases have a black DW, production DW is red.
Now some people say, the first release is done wrong on purpose so that the rep industry will provide a wrong copy.
I kind of believe it. What would you say if the Schumi comes out with a black DW? I have seen the watch which was
bought from the factory, guess what the color of the DW is?
What ever, believe what you want, leave the DW as it is or modd it.

Quite hard to believe as if i were a first time Shumi Gen buyer, i would hate to read this and would ask for a replacement at the factory !

Totaly BS for me !

Yes agreed, but I heard the rep Schumi is going to have red DW? The quartz version has it already...

Then that would mean, if it is true they made it purposedly wrong so that rep industry can't follow, they are wrong..

This, the crown of J12 buemi, looks so small compared to gen. Is it purposely made like that or it is a known flaw on j12 buemi or is it only angle ?

 

[rolexwatchfan]

Comparing older models to new 2014 ROO's it's like comparing older and newer Rolex sub cases. They will be different. Buemi has the standard crown size as all the ROO's before this year 42mm release.

I doubt that's a reason because making the first batch a different DW does not change the fact that it's a Gen so I see no point in that. It doesn't stop reps from adjusting the DW later on in production so that doesn't make much sense if it was actually a strategy. Who determines if a DW is wrong then since technically the first batch by AP is a different one ?? I doubt AP have the rep market in mind when producing a watch, their main aim is to satisfy their customers and for the good of the brand and obviously profit, the issue of reps is an after thought to them and comes later on , not priority ......
