Audemars Piguet "Don Ramon" by J12

[jpohl402]

Yeah, I'm certain that case ("standard" Roo) only came in 42mm. 44's and Grand Prix's have larger pusher guards, generally exhibition casebacks, etc....

Someone else will chime in

No worries though, we all learn something new every day

effin ell... bought my Don Ramon from m2m sale 2 weeks ago after trying in vain to secure one
Going to have to send it to Replicantes for a good service/repair as not running properly! This is my second m2m AP watch that's not working as it should which is prob while they were m2m sales? Can someone explain to me why all my chrono Brietlings never have any running issues in fact my SA is nearly 7 yrs old worn on a daily basis and has never failed?

Extra gears for Sec@12 module. The necessary evil in rep Roos.

that rg ramon looks sick

Can anyone explain why its a necessary requirement? My Breit chrono's are just the A7750 28,000 never an issue.

as naturally 7750s have seconds at 9, but AP ROOs have seconds at 12, so to shift seconds at 9 to 12, transfer gears are used, which are culprits to reliability of sec@12 7750s in AP ROOs...

The sec@12 movement's lifetimes seem to be so short that if you want to have it working for a decent amount of time you need to buy new.

Ap is my favourite brand, and Don Ramon is my favourite AP, so..........i want it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is the dial supposed to be that glossy? Never thought of it before, on other Don Ramons.
Seems like J12 uses glossy paint on many dials, like the numbers on the J12 42mm Panda.

These are the gears to bring the sec from 9 to 12. Is just one gear not in line you will always have problems

Daft question but why not just use the A7750 high beat? Now looking on ebay for a LWO 283 or Vaj 7750

The gen wasn't made with a rg bracelet was it?

There are many gen Don Ramons rocking the RG-bracelet. They came with the original leather strap but AP sells the RG-bracelet if you'd want to have that on instead.

 

[retrospex]

I think the leather balances out the rg

 

[Mm..mm]

I concur. All RG is a lot. Couldn't pull it off.

One of my biggest box queens, unfortunately, like this J12 despite the faults.

Mine just shipped! Now to organise a replacement real croc strap
