Where I need to be.
I think it's pictures of gen

Yes those are pics of the gen, I was being facetious, but forgot the accompanying emoticon. :LOL:
The Noob factory was the first to release the Survivor ROO rep and they did a commendable job. I do expect this to be done well, but of course with the usual flaws.

Not my style but impressive gen and rep.
Seems odd to have such an exotic gen repped while the ploprof isn't.
And so many reps could be easily improved with a small effort an investment (date wheels, dials, engraving, straps, etc).
Nevertheless a very bold undertaking, I'm curious to see the first rep review!

It's the taste of the Chinese market. But most likely this is probably old JF style and IPF is cobbling the suppliers of old JF together and they can produce it.

I just don't get the point of such watches 😳
Shockingly I don't hate it. If they removed the pusher guards it'd look ok. I think this is a example of the watch that was made for it's time, large watch... AP never made such a bold watch again

Also look at the price 🤣 that's close to local industry price, I guess TDs know this ain't going to sell at a 700 price point lol

Cool work form IP Factory, really Gen Spoec features like the Titanium DLC impregnated case ....there was another , more expensive version released in 2019 , factory unknown



The only difference is that this IP Factory new version is cheper, is 0.3 mm more thick, and the A7750 is not decorated as the genuine AP 3126 Caliber.

I would really take the Titanium thing with the grain of salt. From my non TD and reading the release notes, it says it's 316L PVD plated.... the pushers and crownguards are ceramic... need it in hand and confirmed by someone first

I agree, let's see in the flesh if it's real Ti or not...PT states it is 'DLC plated solitd Ti case'


ChazingTime instead says it is 'High Grade DLC Coated on Solid Stainless Steel 316L (Ceramic Pushers) '


Trusty too write ' DLC coated SS 316L with ceramic pushers '


TheOneWatches says it is a ' Titanium Case with Ceramic Pushers'




:unsure::unsure::unsure::unsure::unsure::unsure::unsure: A bit of confusion, it seems....
