AP Royal Oak 39mm Quartz

[Rabbagasten]

old model of a quartz, but to show that the quartz has only name text on dial

Does anyone know what the bezel and case construction is like for this model?

I'm trying to see if this watch could be base for a franken watch with gen 2121 movement. If its got a decent rubber gasket and holder construction like 15400 and 15300 then it'd be perfect for a build. I wouldn't mind adding a sapphire caseback...

Yes, ofcourse Audemars would not put the word "automatic" on their Quartz watches.

However, my understanding is that all gen AP Quartz models are less than 39mm.
However, I would have to research further to confirm.

I've ordered this watch and plan on giving it the vintage look and rocking it as a Quartz AP.

I actually was seconds away from buying this dial on eBay, but passed. Still regret it. I posted in your homage thread that the 15202 rep is not built like the 15400, but it looks great. Had mine for 7 months and it´s beautiful.

It´s not fit for franken. It has a pop on/off bezel, not protruding screws

beautiful.

So no automatic sign on these which I presume are gen... that's one of the things that stopped me going further with this... will dig a little deeper

Question; how are the screws fixed within the pop on/off bezel? Is it glue?

Dunno. Your guess is (almost) as good as mine

Thanks man. I've just placed an order for one. Will probably swap in a profs x2AR xtal - which should take the watch to a completely different level.

Thank you for the info. Would have made a great base for a rep if it was true-to-gen configuration.

It's a shame the factories make 1000000 versions of RO/ROOs and yet can't get the most popular and classic Royal Oak made well.

Love the smaller AP RO.. To me the 41mm does not look as classy.

Does by any chance factory will update the dial on a new batch adding the missing "automatic" or not ?


Tempus fugit, utere.

I don´t think so. If I was to guess, the dial looks extremely similar to the tourbillon, so I actually think that this dial is the same without the cut out. Maybe they´ve sort of thrown this together with parts available.

I think, it's easier to ask Audemars to omit the "Automatic" on the gen ;-) In my opinion the dial looks more elegant with only the name on it. Otherwise there is so much text.
