These and the glashutte panaroma date (used gens) seem like “bargains” in general compared to most Rolex models.

Just think, a diver / calendar with 300M water resistance, and then there’s panerai doing 30m on a “dive watch”
That's why in my mind I'd buy these types of watches in gen because there are no reps compared to Rolex where I think there a few watches left worth buying in gen vs the rep version

I’m usually sheepish at being one of the first, just recently it backfired and I have a broken ceramic AP bracelet, doh!

This in green is a dream watch for me though. Can’t believe they actually repped it.
I have APSF AP 26579 full Ceramic .... how that happened @APjumbo ?

I'm surprised it's been so quiet around this release. I can't see any more info on other dealer sites, trusted or not.

@CF_Stan you’ve done me here 🤣 I was just taking the piss out of @themaxx25 and saying there’s no way they’d try these complications credibly! I must now do more research.
I don't think the complication would be too difficult, possibly the 2 pushers are for the moon phase and date adjustment and the crown can be used for day and month.

My worry was that it'd make the movement unstable as hell similar to some of the other modulated (word?) Miyota based rep movements.

Maybe there are quality problems? My dealer rejected the first watch I ordered because of problems with the crown. Now I am waiting for the second try ;-)
Did she send you pictures of the rejected watch?

Video u can just download, worked for me. Showcases all 3 colors
Thanks for that was viewing from my phone. Much easier to download and view video from laptop.

I was hoping video would show the complications being adjusted buts it’s just the watches from various angles. All look 😍 in the video but I can’t see past that green, it’s something else.

Ive asked a non td about the complications and she said quote "It seems that the function is different." But i dont know if that means that the calender works different or some things do not work at all?
