Big Bang or AP Diver/ROO

[Stealthy]

So far I've bought 3 watched from TD here, all were PAMs.

And now I'm looking for something else, and to my eye, the Hublot BB is similar with the AP ROO series.

So, I would like to get you guys opinion since I never handled none of those myself.

Which one has better built quality? BB V6 or Diver 4.1 or ROO Safari?

Which movement is the most reliable? from what I read, ROO sec@12 should be the least reliable is it?

Which is the most comfortable to wear? IIRC, HBB strap is not too comfy, is that correct?

Which has the best AR out of the box?

Looking forward for your inputs guys, thanks in advance

All three are good.

Which movement is the most reliable? from what I read, ROO sec@12 should be the least reliable is it?

Diver, V6, ROO(Yes, sec@12 is a less reliable movement compared to 2824 and sec@9)

Which is the most comfortable to wear? IIRC, HBB strap is not too comfy, is that correct?

Diver, ROO, V6(Because of the deployant buckle)

Which has the best AR out of the box?

Diver(V4.1 from Noob have AR on crystal inside), V6(Some say that new V6 have colourless AR but sometimes i still see it with blue), ROO(No AR on crystal, only on cyclop).

Thanks Carlton for your prompt reply.

Based on your comments, it seems thats the 4.1 diver is the watch to buy then...

Anyway, if I opt for the RG color, is it a fact that HBB's RG color is much more accurate than ROO?

I have never bought any watches in gold so for this i can't give you any advice but i'm sure there are many members here who can give you good advice on this, just hold on there for them to read this.

Gold is gold, how one gold could be "more accurate", than another?

@Luth

Accurate in comparison to the gen....and I believe there are many variations of gold color

 

[GetSomeMoney]

What about service for the either of the watches? I know the gen APs are very expensive to serve, I'm assuming sense they are reps the service would be different and cheaper.

 

[carlton]

Of course servicing of 2824 will be the cheapest follow by 7750 sec@9 and 7750 sec@12. And i believe not all watchsmith do servicing for sec@12.

 

[aksingh]

AP RG RC gold colour is very close to gen. Sec@12 very rarely a problem nowadays.

Most accurate is the 4.1 Diver.

V6 or diver 4.1

Diver

Diver and possibly v6 depending on if you plan to custom strap it and your wrist size/shape
Which has the best AR out of the box?
v6 = diver. I have gotten 2 v6s both are colorless AR
Looking forward for your inputs guys, thanks in advance

As an owner of all cept the 4.1 diver; own an older version. The v6 hubs are more accurate. Even with the 4.1 it screams rep from the bezel font and screws on bezel. The v6 takes a close look to tell. The v6s shipping out now I believe have the proper chrono hands and clear ar. Roos have plenty of errors, and wear heavy.

 

[phoucku]

still hope to God they fix the bezel for the v6s. They had it right with v1 and v1.5, but for some messed up reason they went from the 5 rows of bezel teeth to the 7 rows. Why would they spent extra money to make it more inaccuarte when they had it right to begin with.

 

[doi2in]

How about both the Hublot BB and the AP ROO. You will love both.

In your dream, mate.
There's yellow gold and rose gold, that's it. Nobody use 24k gold on replicas, only 14k and 18k. Doesn't matter, gen. or rep. I have about 30-35 gold plated reps, and I can see only 2 colors - YG and RG.

Ah yes you're right mate, I read about this in Ale's V6 thread....but IIRC, there's a few V6 models with 5 rows bezel teeth right?

You have 35 for gold plated reps only? :facepalm:

Anyway, this is new to me....I thought the reps gold color wasn't come from real gold...I thought they just painted it gold....thanks for the info mate.

I also have 30-35 steel watches.

But no PVD, sorry.
