Audemars Piguet "Don Ramon" by J12

[slaughterer62]

Vic had a vintage brown croc that matched the DR dial well. It was the strap that I settled on in the end.

Omg. I totally forgot, I already ordered one from Vic, woohoo, it was intended for my 2014 safari, but I have an orloff croc on that now, so maybe I can use the vintage croc from Vic on this Don Ramon. EPIC WIN!

Would you like to share some pics with us?

 

[deemos]

Ordered one. Will post pics once i get it.

I think that dial would look amazing in a DLC coated case.

I think I'll start that project soon.

What's your opinion regarding to that project?

 

[ryk1961]

I'd like to update my Don Ramon V2 with the more appropriate dial ie: RG logo, anyone any idea which TD I can approach on this?

Here's mine arrived today, installed a nice real croc strap and I'm in love....

 

[danielv2000]

That looks real nice!

 

[spursian]

Nice! The gold is not as yellow as seen in the TD photos.. I like it!

 

[jpohl402]

Took the strap off your Diver?
That does look really nice!
How much was the Orloff strap?

Good spot! I did indeed take that strap off the diver and put it in this Don Ramon.

However, I bought a brown croc diver strap from Donerix in his December sale and that arrived yesterday too so perfect timing, my diver now has Donerix strap with gold diver buckle and now Orloff croc is on my Don Ramon.

Orloff AP ROO croc straps are around €130 which I believe is incredible, the quality is stunning and smells amazing.

Orloff has a delay now in making AP straps, I'm on his waiting list for when he's up and running again.

To be fair, I have straps from nearly all strap makers, but Jacob I have yet to try. Will give him a go next, I like having a variety

Thx for the info

Mine arrived a couple of days ago, not work it yet, refuse to do so on that strap it comes with...
Will get a run out once I pair it with a Donerix strap thats on the way...

I thought the J12 straps are pretty good and got good feedback by the owners of the other JF models like 42mm Panda...not the same case for DR?

 

[aligborat69]

The strap it comes with is ok, it's better than the usual "croc" ones. But nothing beats a proper croc strap for feel, smell and look

All my previous APs have either been bracelet of Rubber so can't compare to previous versions of straps..
All I know is that they still look, feel and smell rubbery!

 

[rnrprof]

looks great mate - only needs a good double ar crystal

Anybody notice that pics of the gen DR can be found with both gold AND white AP logos? Everybody saying the new JF has the correct logo - I've seen more than one gen pic with a white logo.
