Just got these two photos from Hont. Besides the Seconds @ 6 do you see any other flaws? Should I OK them?

Thanks!

Yeah what are the chances of getting called out due to the sec@6? It was considerably cheaper than the sec@12 auto (which to my understanding has some consistent movement flaws)

most people don't know the brand. it's not something to worry about. if someone knows the brand and the tells the sec's@12 will get caught as well. your black AP looks nice. enjoy it and don't worry about getting "called out"

T4D has a sec@12 quartz version of the Black Themes, just so you know.

But IMHO don't worry about quartz @6 or @12
Anyone who knows gen AP has sec @12 will see before that your watch is a fake quartz movement and the date!!
So, no problem and enjoy the HONT watch, the price and the reliability!!
BTW awesome watch, I like it

sec@6

Can someone explain to me the difference between sec@6 and sec@12? Also how do you tell the difference?

Mike, this took me some time to figure out as well...
For the longest time, I thought it was a quality stat...
Secs at 6 means the seconds hand is at 6:00 position.
Secs at 12 means the seconds are at the 12:00 position...

Thanks everyone, that helps a lot. So you would not be worried to wear this to nicer restaurants/country clubs? My family does pretty well fiscally speaking and I could pass for owning such a watch so that part isn't a stretch. A few of the crowd I run with have nice watches but do not know much about them other than what the AD has told them (i.e. just buy watches because they can and figure they should rather than a passion as most of us share).

This is true. However to be a bit clearer, this is in regards to the chronograph (3 dials).

How much was this beautiful watch? I personally like the quartz better, more realistic for a student.

Replica AP.......LOL.

You're posting on a replica site; so of course nothing will be exactly accurate. Even the automatic movements will not be on par with a gen AP.

Okay, let me get this right:
Quartz version has seconds @ 6 which is a tell.
Automatic has seconds @ 12 which is also a tell.
Therefore, genuine ROO has seconds @ 9.

Am I right this time?

Black themes = black dial
White themes = white dial
Silver themes = silver dial
Safari = cream dial
