AP MICHAEL SCHUMACHER 44MM By J12

[Miguel Piguet]

Thank you for input.

I'm fairly new to this forum so forgive my ignorance but when I receive my QC pics am I able to post on here for you guys to kind of help and look over the watch to see if there are any flaws or problems before I give the ok to ship?

I'm only asking because I know on some forums it's not aloud and some it's ok?

I would say the Schumi is a great rep.. Probably my new favorite.. The build quality is fanatasic, the dial is interesting and theres lots of pretty shiny bits to catch the eye.

But the DW placement is to big of a giveaway for me to wear it as an AP, but I love it for what it is.. A really nice watch.

So if your buying this watch because you like the look/style of it you will love this piece.. If you're looking for a super accurate rep to fool your friends and co-workers then I would suggest looking elsewhere IMO..

Thank you for your opinion

For me personally it's for the look of the watch. I love rose gold in general and I really like the contrast with the grey dial and also like you pointed out there's lots of angles and shiny bits that really catch the eye.

With that being said though I still want the rep to be somewhat accurate to the gen.

I guess I'm really just curious how people rank the RG shumi rep in general bc I know some reps that come out from time to time are replicated much better then others but the general consensus with this one as well as the TI shumi seems to be pretty good.

Despite its flaws it's a beautiful piece, buy it for yourself. If you love it then that should be what matters. If you intend to pass it off as a gen it would also depend on whether or not it's believable you can own a 50, 75, 100k watch. Anyone who knows the brand well will not be fooled. Read up some more and you will learn all the tells.

Read this thread.

As has been said, the DW position is a tell but it's a tell if someone knows the brand really well. And, it takes only one in the crowd to know.

But you have to be able to pull it off - that's the number one tell for me to look more closely. A student wearing a $40K watch? Possible, yes. But,, not likely. I spot watches all the time. I know the tells but at a quick glance, I really can't tell unless it's a canal street junk.

That is exactly what I'm doing, I'm buying it bc I like the way it looks and I just officially placed my order

That is a very good point you make as to weather or not it's even believable that one could even afford to own some of these higher priced reps if you intend to pass it of as gen. For me that's not my intention but for others I could see where that would be an issue lol

Thank you again for all your help and input and when the watch arrives I will post some pics

Congrats on a fine choice you will definitely not be disappointed with the craftsmanship and quality. It's a solid piece as others have also posted.

I already ordered the Rose Gold version... Thinking about the Blue, but will wait for V2 on that one.

hmm the RG costs $30 more than the titanium.
surely a steel case even with gold plating would cost less than titanium case? (in regards to production cost)

It comes with both leather and rubber, no?

Material cost of Ti may be higher than SS, but not a huge amount higher, and the extra processing which has to be done to plate the watch will ratchet the cost up. I think it is reasonable to expect a gold plated watch to cost same or more than Ti. In the context of this watch, we are talking about a 4% price difference. Love this watch BTW

 

[wolfwood]

With the current special at InTime, the Ti is $90 less than the RG making it even more attractive price wise.

Ti $668 http://intime.co/cms.php?id_cms=16
RG $758 http://intime.co/product.php?id_product=1776

Hi guys

Just received my AP Schumi.

There is some uneven tone on the cermet bezel. It sort of look like some stains but I can't seem to clean it off with micro fibre cloth.

I tried using water and micro fibre cloth but the stain is still there.

I don't dare to use other solvents to polish it. How do you polish a cermet bezel without affecting the vertical polished grains?

From the photo you can see the left side is evenly coloured and polish but the top and right side has some uneven colour.

Anyone share the same experience with your Schumi ?

Appreciate your tips and advice on this.

Thank you.

 

[ukbondraider]

I have the exact same stains at the same locations and the same patterns.

Could therefore be a manufacturing thing.

 

[Versaceboy54]

That's horrible. Was this not visible in the QC pics? I just ordered one and will look out for this.

Where to buy gen dial of this?

the color of grey dial in the center is too dark

Nowhere. It's easier to shoot a pic of queen mom in panties than to find a gen Schumacher dial.
