So apart from the dial colour questions, it is still a 7750 Movement with sunken date and incorrect date font…at $668 I’m not seeing this as an appealing purchase 
AP ROO reps are known to be flawed in many ways. The list of known flaws is longer than Martin Sheen’s rap sheet.So apart from the dial colour questions, it is still a 7750 Movement with sunken date and incorrect date font…at $668 I’m not seeing this as an appealing purchase
Just buy and wear it as a novelty if you like it. It may never be an AP or be close to it, but that doesn’t stop most members from enjoying the watch. Yes that A7750 sec@6 is a horrible movement to use for the rep but until there is a better movement, there is a limit to how accurate the rep can be in terms of the datewheel position and depth. The font can be customized for the A7750 datewheel but it’ll always look off given the inaccurate datewheel position and like you mentioned, the datewheel which is sunken halfway to Australia.
If this is the APF then this dial looks even closer to gen than these latest pics, lighting seems to be key. They call it desert yellow not taupe, ha.

I am not your typical RWI reviewer not my cup of tea but I wanted to post some more photos
the quick strap exchange is impressive no more hassle with unscrewing and mounting. the black strap is nice to give the watch another feel which I like. knowing all the flaws it's still a nice pickup the deco plate is noticeable and does not add to the watch. the build itself is solid and nice.
Personal preference as always but I do like it, especially for the summer it's a stunner on the wrist.

Thanks for all the pics, that black strap looks like the Diver strap - is that an APF and does it fit well?

yes it came with the watch hopefully it will fit on the diver as well...waiting on it to come
I see on the vid that it comes with that Diver's design strap, thought it would come with the 43's black strap, a bit weird.
The diver has a 42mm case. It would be strange if the same straps fit both the 43mm and 42mm perfectly.
The vid also seemed to measure it at 44, which is what Puretime have listed on their site altho they say its a mistake but still not corrected it, can you measure it to see if it is 43 or 44, does it wear smaller than 44s if you have any?

That dial still needs much improvement. I wonder if the gen quick change straps fit the rep case.
