It's really too bad the bezel screws are too small for the holes, or rather the holes are too big .. makes this look sloppy the more I view this

Just like the 'so praised' TF versions
It’s much less apparent due to size, especially on the RG version where contrast hides it.
I don't know if these are the versions that are posted in the thread, but Toro says this is from J12 and it seems recent on the site.
the screws are quite poor from his site and those photos... nothing like the tight fit you see in the diver or even the 15400.
As the photos show more detail, there are some things that seriously bother me about this attempt: DW (print and alignment), screws (finish), dial markers, hands, rotor deco, movement deco. Great classic size, great gen model, but I do not know about this rep.

I might give it a shot and get one, but I am worried I will have to spend 10 hours modding it before I can wear it.

Haven't been keeping up with the new AP releases for a while now, but this dial looks like it's made by the same dial factory that provides the dials for the lite versions.
- Tapisserie is all wrong, it's too big and lacks depth or that '3D effect'
- Hour markers are wrong - it's a rounded rectangle when it should be a trapezoidal rectangle
- Date window is rectangle when it's supposed to be a square
- Sunburst affect way too obvious, probably because the tapisserie is too big and flat so it catches more lightE
Edit: - AP logo is also too long

it's rediculous that the factories can't get these ROs right. they are releasing these pieces for years now and they still deliver sh... after sh... they got it decent with the divers, why not here? they should focus more on quality than releasing 100 of different rep versions... i think most of us would be willing to spent a fair premium for a decent version of this. just my 2 cents. i'm really getting frustrated with the ROs...
Yes, that's the only way and was thinking it over a hundred of times, but the 41mm is just a tad to big for me. I'm more into smaller seizes when it comes to dressy watches. The 37mm would be perfect...
Are you building one?
Yes, I am building a 36mm and a 41mm. Would rather have a 39mm personally. But I can only build what I can find parts for.
