The thing that I’m impressed with is that reps are now coming with real ceramic! That means no color fade or black color fdimg off. Personally I think this is too complicated a watch to get a rep. Reps should be kept as less complicated as possible. They last longer. I would love a ceramic rep though. Is there no rep of the ceramic openworked? That seems to be a less complicated movement

So are these available with both the (ICHS) second hand *or* the (CHS) GMT hand ? I thought they were updated with the latter, but Puretime just posted some new versions all of which show the original ICHS configuration. They also only have the single hand in 12:00 sundial.

This one for example https://puretimewatch.io/royal-oak-...n-black-silver-dial-on-ss-bracelet-a5134.html

From reading this whole thread a while ago, what I've gathered is that the only watch APSF produces is the ICHS, but the CHS is also available (albeit in extremely limited quantities). The CHS available from some TDs, as far as I know, are modded ICHS' off the APSF production line that are then modded by... someone? I don't think the CHS' are modded by APSF, but I haven't seen any solid reports of who actually does those mods. I believe that's why all the new postings from some TDs are of ICHS', not CHS'.

Can someone post one that doesn't have the seconds hand operating seconds. It's supposed to advance weekly.

Yes, too complicated ????

Aha that would make sense
Which TDs can supply the CHS version ? Interested in ordering, even though there seem to be quality issues.

Check my post #571
As I said there, I got the modified version with CHS (or without the operating sec hand on top) and it has a Miyota movement instead

Puretime was able to get me a white ceramic, I am waiting on the black now and the SS I did receive QC but was rejected due to a print error on the router. I think if you like one of the new batches it can be modified but look to pay 758$ or 140$ extra and you need to wait. The factory needs to modify the seconds hand. But you need to release its a GMT not a week hand so its still not correct

Thank you

$140 isn’t bad at all for the nod but the base watch is quite pricey for an A23J and it doesn’t seem to be at the same quality level as pieces from as JF/ZF/Noob/VSF/CF etc.

I know it’s a week indicator on the gen, but CHS w/ GMT is acceptable to me as it not so obviously an incorrect function, same as 5712 (in lieu of Power reserve); ICHS w/ running seconds not so much, instantly recognizable as an Asian rep with cheap movement.

Say. Could you maybe spare a link of your watch? I really would love to get my hands on one. Because I have a guy who is almost 100% sure he can make a matte finish out of it. But he would need a link. (the Gen is almost like chalk instead of the glossy ceramic they used)

Let me know!

And by the way puretime dropped new dial apsf models

I saw these. Guessing they are all made up? Never heard of any tiffany dial ap’s. Thought that was only patek. Plus they look horrendous in my opinion…
