Awful rep. And I was one of those initially looking to buy this watch.

For me only the Schumi in the whole AP catalogue warrants the USD 700+ price tag. Hence I bought both the Ti and RG but even then I paid a lot les than USD 700.

These APs need to get down to around USD 400/500 especially when they come out looking like this.

I have 8 APs now and am beginning to lose my enthusiasm with them especially at their price and marmite quality.

Funny how everyone are focusing on the 7 when there is tons of other flaws on this watch :)

It is really curious to see how they are pushing out a slew of AP reps during holidays all with different fails. Guess they want to build inventory for the TDs before the next CNY. Too bad about Ginza 7 as I know alot of people here wanted it, including myself.

I'll be waiting for the real forged carbon beauties to be coming...

release after release seems to be getting faster and faster.. seems like the times where we had to patiently wait, with ongoing communication/feedback with TDs to perfect a piece such as bumblebee etc are gone :(

J12 used to be good with customer feedback and correcting mistakes we would point out and then re-designing. That is what we liked about them initially. Buemi, Bumblebee, their initial Divers were really impressive. I still like the J12, but they are rushing production and making stupid mistakes.

if they cant do the most important dial right, please refrain from playing with the movement. More plating equals more hidden/unseen problem.. Later we will start hearing complains that screws had fallen off, stuck in movement or worse... Better dial wins over dead movement?

J12 is making so many mistakes recently for rushing all these models and maybe a good thing for his competitor (esp Noob). Noob, if you even care, please do correct and improve, you have so many experts here to give advise before releasing them. J12 is handing over the king's throne back over Noob again.

Nope it's not crooked, it's because of lightings and reflections. The dial numbers surrounding are gun metal colored.

Pics are up on Intime: http://intime.co/product.php?id_product=1803

Look at those dial numbers, wrong shape and color, badly filled... terrible !!:wtf:
The 7 is huge cause they used the same "stones" of the Lebron James pusher. That's why they missed it.
And why a rubber strap ???? It should be better on the leather black strap.
They are cost optimizing their production by recycling as many parts as they can even if it means releasing not accurate rep's at the high price.

Just rushing as many models as they can to make money ! Sorry but these watches do not worth 700+$.

Please NOOB come back on the AP scene !!!
