i found 3 "gen" ap dials, and i need an experts eye

are these gen ?
if so which one should i pick ?
the grey one is from a rgrc or a apcp ?
getting a titanium case modded, im thinking the longevity of the finish might become an issue ?

the white themes is a bit damaged, but its by far the most favorite for me.
i can mod the SS case modded and maybe change the dial later ?


another one is from a older model

appreciate any help that i can get

Sam,
Nice finds! You shouldn't even worry about the "damage" on the white themes. The Tachyring will cover that part you won't even see it! :) the second dial/tachy is gorgeous...I believe it's from the first produced ROO's. I think that blue is for the titanium model only. Keep us posted bud!

i like the silver one with the navy dials for a couple reasons:

1) it looks sharp as hell. would look real sharp and clean with a black rubber strap or a black hornback with grey stich (to match the silver face). The blue is subtle enough that you can still wear it with anything but it has a little bit of pop. Would go great with black pointers for the chronograph and the subdials.

2) its not a replica'd dial so people are more likely to think its real and itll be more rare. Being more rare will help with resale/trade value for sure.

And just to add balance to the arguement....

I would go for the RGRC/Chronopassion dial. Both watches sexy as hell.

RGRC dial has RG on the dial somewhere doesnt it?

Cant really go wrong though...

Ok for the first and the third.
But on the second dial, isn't "audemars piguet" printed too clumsily? or maybe is the photo?

i agree with you, the white one is just too sexy to let go! ill have to use a rep tachymeter though. yea the 2nd one is from an older APROO and looks a bit too classy for me hehe

good point, i missed that detail, the rg version has some gold going on on the dial
this is a cp dial then. the dial if again gorgeous as anything but my concern is that do i want to invest that kind of $$ into a franken that is prone to scratches and stuff. i am wearing a cp right now, and its stunning. my initial thought was to get a ss case modded since i MIGHT be able to find another gen dial and i could use the case.
