Best and closest to gen AP rep

[haysy]

Hi all, I´m looking forward to your opinion on that topic as I would love to buy one in the next weeks together with my fiddy. So which one is the best and where to purchase?

AP ROO

There are a million different APs available, you should pick the one you like and buy that one, no-one is going to know the flaws in the Real World, IMHO, of course

I really like my AP ROO Safari.
I have heard that going witha AP ROO Grey themes or Black themes is pretty safe.

Get the AP ROO Montauk Highway from ToroBravo and replace the rep strap with a custom hornback from HKTan, Donerix, APBands, or possibly the gen strap. You will not be disappointed.

**disclaimer** photo above is Edgematic's rep Montauk and gen strap.

Thanks all. I really like your Montauk GH. May I ask what you paid for that? What about the diver? I heart the new version is pretty close to the gen and of outstanding quality.

just can't help yourself can ya greenie!!?? ya just gotta show off your Montauk

Yes, it is. Plus with some mods from Fine DD it's as close to gen as you'll ever need! (I did a short review in this section so check it out! )

Thanks DEL, the diver looks great and the quality seems to be fantastic. I can´t find Fine DD in TD list. Can you post a link to his shop? Thanks in advance.

He's got a section in the "trusted modders" section.

It seems I need some glasses, I can´t find a trusted modder section ;-)

I would vote diver as well.

ROO has certain problems (crown position, date subdial, tachy ring numbers, etc) that the repmakers got wrong. The Noob Diver is very very good though, dimensions are perfect and it just needs some small finishing mods that all watches need
Relume, AR'd date cyclops, and AR on the crystal would make it really damn close to GEN.

Hi guys,

the decision is coming closer and closer. I have now three models to choose from

Volcano
Silver themes
Tour auto

all modded by FDD

Which one would you choose in terms of closest to gen? And what about the problems crown position, date subdial, tachy ring numbers? Will there be the swiss mov inside so that the case back will be like the gen?

Thanks a lot

 

[jeffw69]

Have you seen the Las Vegas edition? I'm looking at that next.

The 3 above, I'd pick Volcano!

 

[haysy]

These are currently the only 3 FDD offers. Any other thoughts in terms of close to gen and why you would choose which model?

All are fantastic! Volcano looks sinister and awesome, silver themes is just straight beautiful and clean, and the tour auto is a real looker and looks racy as hell (with the checker pattern on the tachy ring).

Subjectively, I vote Tour Auto or Volcano
The contrasting dark dial on the Tour Auto, coupled with the bright SS and white/silver bezel looks really stunning.

I vote for chronopassion. The newest version is great.
